Arizona sun can leave its mark on your skin, especially after years of UV exposure. Brown spots, rough texture, uneven tone, and fine lines may become more noticeable even when you’re consistent with skincare.
Laser skin resurfacing at Repta Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale can help improve damaged surface skin and support smoother-looking skin. Dr. Remus Repta is a board-certified plastic surgeon whose practice includes surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic options.
Why Sun Damage Shows Up Over Time
Sun damage doesn’t always appear right away. UV exposure can gradually affect skin tone, texture, collagen, and pigmentation.
Over time, cumulative UV exposure may become more noticeable on frequently exposed areas, especially the face.
Sun damage may appear as:
- Brown spots or dark patches
- Uneven skin tone
- Fine lines
- Rough texture
- Dullness
- Crepey or thinner-looking skin
Good skincare can help, but it may not be able to fully correct visible damage once it has developed.
How Laser Skin Resurfacing Works
Dr. Repta’s laser skin resurfacing treatment delivers concentrated light energy to remove damaged surface layers while heating the underlying skin. This process can help reveal newer-looking skin and stimulate collagen production, which supports firmness and texture.
The treatment can be used for several cosmetic concerns, including sun damage, uneven tone, acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and texture changes.
Your settings and treatment plan depend on your skin type, concerns, and how much downtime you can manage.
What You Can Expect After Treatment
Recovery varies based on the type and intensity of laser resurfacing. Some treatments involve redness, peeling, swelling, or sensitivity while the skin renews itself. You’ll need to be strict about sun protection after treatment, especially in the summer.
That means avoiding direct sun, wearing a hat, using sunscreen as directed, and pausing certain skincare products until you’re cleared by our team. Good aftercare can affect both comfort and results.
