Sunshine may lift our spirits—but too much exposure can take a lasting toll on your skin. If you’re noticing brown spots, uneven tone, fine lines, or rough texture, chances are you’re dealing with the effects of sun damage. At Elegance Renewed MedSpa in Pickens, SC, we offer advanced, non-invasive treatments to restore your skin’s clarity and health—while helping prevent future damage.
Led by experienced provider Dr. Jessica Johnson, our sun damage solutions are designed to reverse signs of aging, improve skin tone and texture, and rejuvenate your complexion with gentle, personalized care.
What Is Sun Damage?
Sun damage, or photoaging, is the result of long-term exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds. UV rays penetrate the skin, damaging collagen, elastin, and pigment cells, which leads to visible and structural changes in your skin over time.
Signs of sun damage can include:
- Dark spots (sun spots or age spots)
- Freckles or hyperpigmentation
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Dryness or a leathery appearance
- Broken capillaries or redness
- Increased skin sensitivity
Even if the damage occurred years ago, it can still be treated—and prevented from worsening.
What Causes Sun Damage?
Sun damage is primarily caused by UVA and UVB radiation, which:
- Break down collagen and elastin fibers, leading to wrinkles and sagging
- Trigger melanin overproduction, causing dark spots and uneven tone
- Weaken your skin’s barrier, making it more prone to dryness, redness, and irritation
The cumulative effect of daily sun exposure—especially without SPF—adds up over time. Even indirect exposure through windows or on cloudy days can contribute.
How Do We Treat Sun Damage at Elegance Renewed MedSpa?
At Elegance Renewed MedSpa, Dr. Jessica Johnson takes a gentle, layered approach to restoring your skin. Based on the severity and type of damage, she may recommend one or more of the following:
Chemical Peels
Target dark spots and rough texture by gently exfoliating the top layer of skin. Our customized peels promote cell turnover and even tone without excessive peeling or downtime.
Microneedling
Stimulates natural collagen production to improve texture, reduce fine lines, and fade pigmentation from sun exposure.
Dermaplaning
Provides immediate brightening and smoothness by removing the dull, sun-damaged outer layer of skin along with fine hair.
Medical-Grade Skincare
Professional at-home treatments including vitamin C, retinol, niacinamide, and SPF help protect and rebuild the skin over time.
Preventative Education
Learn how to properly protect your skin from future damage with easy-to-implement SPF habits and barrier-strengthening skincare routines.
Each plan is personalized to ensure the safest, most effective approach for your skin type and goals.
What Results Can I Expect?
Depending on the treatment, most patients experience:
- More even skin tone
- Faded dark spots and discoloration
- Improved skin texture and smoothness
- Reduction in fine lines and early wrinkles
- A healthy, more youthful glow
Results can be seen in as little as one session (especially with dermaplaning or light peels), while deeper damage may require a series of treatments over several months.
Is It Too Late to Treat My Sun Damage?
Never. Whether your sun damage is recent or from years ago, there are safe, proven methods to help your skin recover. Even deeply pigmented or textured skin can respond beautifully to professional care over time.
Dr. Johnson specializes in helping patients of all ages and skin tones regain clarity and confidence—without harsh treatments or unnecessary risk.
