Correcting Facial Sun Damage

Although the sun is a great source of vitamin D, our facial skin is sensitive to repeated bare exposure.   Most people are aware that sun damage can cause facial lines.   Such facial lines around the eyes might lead you to consider an eyelid lift or skin treatments to restore a youthful and healthy look.

For non-invasive procedures that treat conditions caused or made worse by sun damage, we offer a variety of chemical peels and laser skin resurfacing procedures restore skin to a more vibrant appearance.  The goal of both chemical peels and CO2 laser resurfacing is to have the skin regenerate with an even surface and pigmentation that can be caused by sun damage. These treatments target dyschromia (skin color variations), lines, wrinkles, scars, dermal lesions (deeper skin abnormalities) and stimulate long-term collagen remodeling.

Sun exposure can also make crow’s feet more noticeable.  Crows feet, or lines around the eyes often lead to conversations about eyelid lifts.   For an eyelid lift, I rejuvenate puffy, sagging or tired-looking eyes by removing excess skin, muscle and fat. This can be performed on both the upper and lower eyelids. My results are typically so natural that your friends and family don’t notice that you have had surgery. Instead, it’s common for my patients to be told how rested they look. Many patients choose to combine eyelid lifts with chemical peels and laser treatments to achieve an all around refreshed look. 

An eyelid lift is a popular Contours and Curves procedure because it can easily take years off of your facial appearance. To schedule a facial rejuvenation consultation or learn more, please contact Dr. Ryan Mitchell today.
