Summer Skin SOS: How to Reverse Sun Damage and Restore Your Glow

Struggling with dry, dull skin or pigmentation after summer? 

You’re not alone. At BV Aesthetics, I see many women experiencing the effects of sun damage as the seasons shift — and wondering how to get their healthy, glowing skin back.

The good news? Sun-damaged skin can be repaired. With the right skin treatments and medical-grade skincare, you can reverse signs of UV damage and support long-term skin health.

What Causes Sun Damage – and Why It Matters

Sun damage isn’t just from beach holidays. It’s the cumulative exposure to UV rays — driving, walking, or sitting near windows — often without proper sun protection. Many patients tell me they’ve avoided sunscreen for years or are worried SPF is “toxic” (it’s not).

SPF is safe and essential. It protects against UVA and UVB rays, which contribute to pigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and even skin cancer. Not wearing sunscreen consistently can accelerate skin ageing, dryness, and uneven skin tone.

Signs of Sun-Damaged Skin

Whether your skin is oily, dry, sensitive, or combination, sun exposure can lead to:

• Hyperpigmentation and dark spots

• Dry, dehydrated skin that feels tight or rough

• Dullness and lack of radiance

• Uneven texture and enlarged pores

At BV Aesthetics, I treat all skin types with a focus on restoring skin barrier function, fading pigmentation, and reviving your natural glow.

Best Skin Treatments for Sun Damage Repair

Looking for effective treatments to reverse sun damage and pigmentation? These are my top in-clinic recommendations:

1. Chemical Peels for Pigmentation and Dull Skin

Medical-grade peels like Alumier MD and Obagi Blue Peel Radiance exfoliate the top layers of skin, improve tone and texture, and reduce sun spots. Peels are ideal for resurfacing and revealing brighter, smoother skin with minimal downtime.

2. RF Microneedling for Collagen and Pigmentation

Radiofrequency microneedling combines microneedling with thermal energy to target deep pigmentation, stimulate collagen, and firm the skin. It’s perfect for those with sun-damaged, ageing, or uneven skin.

3. Skin Boosters for Hydration and Glow

These injectable treatments restore hydration and boost skin quality from within. I offer:

• Profhilo – High-dose hyaluronic acid for hydration, firmness, and elasticity

• Polynucleotides – Supports skin regeneration and healing (especially for sun-damaged or inflamed skin)

• HA + Glycerol Skin Boosters – Deeply hydrate and improve skin texture, great for dry or dull skin

All options are tailored to your skin’s needs and can be combined with other treatments for best results.

4. LED Light Therapy for Skin Recovery

Dermalux LED uses red and near-infrared light to calm inflammation, accelerate healing, and improve brightness. It’s a gentle, non-invasive option — especially helpful after microneedling or peels.

Best Skincare Products to Repair Sun Damage at Home

To maintain results and support your skin between treatments, I recommend:

• EverActive C&E – Vitamin C + E serum for antioxidant protection and collagen support

• Bright & Clear Solution – AHA toner to gently exfoliate and refine

• Intellibright or Even Tone – Pigmentation-targeting serums

• Retinol – Improves cell turnover and fades dark spots (introduced gradually)

• SPF 30 or higher – Broad-spectrum, used every day, all year round

These products work together to support skin healing, prevent further damage, and restore your glow.
