Sun Damage & Age Spot Treatment in Calgary<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Most of what we call \u201caging\u201d on the face, brown spots, blotchy redness, rough texture, fine lines is actually accumulated sun damage, and much of it is reversible. Skinfluence Medical Spa in SW Calgary treats photoaging with DYE VL light therapy, ClearLift laser rejuvenation, and medical-grade peels that repair damage rather than just cover it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t

What sun damage actually looks like?<\/h2>\n\t\t\t

Photoaging (photodamage) is the visible result of years of UV exposure breaking down collagen and triggering excess pigment. It shows up as age spots and freckling on the face, chest, and hands; diffuse redness and broken capillaries; rough or leathery texture; dullness; and fine lines that appear earlier than they should. If your chest and outer forearms look older than your inner arm, that difference is sun damage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t

Why Calgary sun causes more damage<\/em> than people think?<\/h2>\n\t\t\t

Calgary sits at over 1,000 m elevation, where UV is stronger, and gets more than 330 days of sun a year, one of the sunniest major cities in Canada. Add snow glare in winter and long summer daylight hours, and Calgarians accumulate serious UV exposure even without beach vacations. Sun damage here is a year-round condition, not a summer one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t

What to expect<\/em>?<\/h2>\n\t\t\t

We assess the mix of damage pigment, redness, texture, collagen loss and sequence treatments accordingly. A typical plan pairs a DYE VL series (for colour) with ClearLift or microneedling (for texture and firmness). Spots often darken briefly before flaking away within 1\u20132 weeks of light treatment; collagen-based improvements build over 2\u20133 months. Daily broad-spectrum SPF locks in results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t

Visible sun damage spots, redness, and rough texture respond very well to treatment. Light therapy clears pigment and vessels; collagen-stimulating treatments rebuild firmness. Deep structural damage can\u2019t be fully erased, but most clients see their skin look years younger over a treatment series.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Age spots are flat, uniform brown spots caused by UV. Any spot that is new, changing, irregular, bleeding, or non-uniform in colour should be examined by a physician before cosmetic treatment. We screen for red flags during consultation and refer out when anything looks suspicious.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
