Sun Damage

Target sun spots, discoloration and uneven tone for brighter, healthier-looking skin
Sun Damage

Years of sun exposure can gradually change the appearance of your skin, leading to brown spots, uneven pigmentation, redness, rough texture and premature signs of aging. Sun damage commonly appears on areas that receive the most exposure, including the face, neck, chest and hands.

At Confident Med Spa, we offer personalized treatments designed to address visible sun damage while improving overall tone and texture. Depending on your skin and goals, your treatment plan may include Laser Facial, Chemical Peels, CoolPeel Laser Resurfacing or CO2 Laser Resurfacing.

Treatment options are available throughout New Hampshire and Maine at our Amherst, Epping, Rochester, Seabrook, Windham and South Portland locations.

Common Symptoms

Common signs of sun damage include brown spots, sun spots, uneven pigmentation, blotchy skin tone, redness, rough or uneven texture, dullness, fine lines and visible changes to frequently exposed areas such as the face, neck, chest and hands.

Our Approach

Sun damage can affect both the pigment and texture of your skin, so treatment should be based on what you actually see and want to improve. During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your pigmentation, skin tone, texture and overall skin health to determine the most appropriate treatment plan. Laser Facial may be recommended to target visible pigmentation and uneven tone, while CoolPeel and CO2 Laser Resurfacing can address texture and additional signs of photoaging. Chemical Peels may also be incorporated to support brighter, smoother and more even-looking skin. Your provider may recommend a series or combination of treatments depending on the amount of sun damage present and your desired results and downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best treatment for sun damage?

The right treatment depends on whether your primary concern is pigmentation, redness, texture or a combination of concerns. Laser Facial, chemical peels and laser resurfacing may all be used as part of a personalized plan for visible sun damage.

Can laser treatments help sun spots and dark spots?

Certain laser and light-based treatments can target excess pigment and help reduce the appearance of sun spots and uneven pigmentation. Your provider will evaluate your skin to determine which treatment is appropriate.

Can CO2 laser resurfacing help sun damage?

CO2 laser resurfacing can improve several visible signs of sun damage, including uneven texture, fine lines and discoloration. Treatment intensity and downtime vary based on your skin and the type of resurfacing selected.

What is the difference between CoolPeel and CO2 Laser for sun damage?

Both use CO2 laser technology, but treatment intensity and downtime can differ. CoolPeel provides a gentler resurfacing option with less downtime, while deeper CO2 resurfacing may be recommended for more advanced texture and visible signs of aging.

Can sun damage come back after treatment?

Treatment can improve existing visible sun damage, but continued sun exposure can contribute to new pigmentation and skin changes. Daily sunscreen, sun protection and an appropriate skincare routine can help protect and maintain your results.
