Name: Sun Damage & Pigmentation
Brand: Auri Aesthetics
Rating: 5 (325 reviews)

Long-term and repeated exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light gradually alters the skin’s structure, tone, and resilience. Over time, this damage can surface as discoloration, rough texture, fine lines, and visible aging—often long after the exposure itself. At Auri Aesthetics, we treat sun damage with advanced, non-surgical solutions that restore clarity, smoothness, and skin health while prioritizing long-term protection.

Understanding Sun Damage and Pigmentation

Sun damage occurs when UV radiation disrupts collagen fibers and overstimulates pigment-producing cells. These changes accumulate over years and most commonly appear on areas frequently exposed to sunlight, such as the face, chest, shoulders, hands, and arms. Visible signs may include sun spots, age spots, uneven pigmentation, rough texture, and premature wrinkling. In some cases, chronic sun exposure can also lead to actinic keratosis, a precancerous skin condition. While cosmetic treatments can improve appearance, monitoring skin health remains essential.

Common Effects of Sun Damage

Sun damage and pigmentation concerns may present as:

Brown spots or uneven tone
Freckling or blotchy pigmentation
Rough or thickened skin texture
Fine lines and accelerated aging
Visible contrast between sun-exposed and protected areas

Because sun damage affects both the surface and deeper layers of the skin, effective treatment must address more than pigment alone.

Sun Damage Treatments at Auri Aesthetics

Our approach combines light-based therapy, resurfacing, and supportive skincare to restore balance and clarity.

BBL HERO® & MOXI Laser

These targeted light and laser treatments correct uneven pigmentation, reduce visible sun damage, and promote cellular renewal for brighter, more even skin tone.

CoolPeel CO₂ Laser

CoolPeel resurfaces damaged skin with precision, refining texture, softening fine lines, and improving tone with less downtime than traditional CO₂ resurfacing.

Medical-Grade Skincare Support

Professional products such as ZO Skin Health Brightalive® and Alastin TransFORM® support pigment correction, skin renewal, and barrier repair between in-office treatments.

Many patients benefit from a combination approach tailored to the severity and location of sun damage.

Prevention and Ongoing Skin Protection

Preventing further sun damage is a critical part of any treatment plan. Consistent sun protection helps preserve results and protect skin health long term. This includes:

Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen
Wearing protective clothing and hats
Avoiding peak sun exposure hours
Eliminating tanning bed use

Patients should also consult a medical provider if they notice any new, changing, or suspicious skin lesions.
