Sun Damage Repair

Reverse the Effects of UV Exposure and Restore Healthier Skin

Cumulative sun exposure can cause significant skin damage over time — from fine lines and brown spots to broken capillaries, rough texture, and even precancerous changes. At Joerg Schuller MD General Practice, we offer comprehensive sun damage repair treatments for both the visible and structural effects of UV exposure using a range of non-invasive, laser-based, and regenerative therapies.

Our goal is not just aesthetic enhancement — it’s the restoration of healthier, more resilient skin from the cellular level upward.

The Signs of Sun-Damaged Skin

Chronic UV exposure leads to a condition called photoaging, which results in:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Hyperpigmentation (sun spots, freckles)
  • Uneven tone and texture
  • Thinning or leathery skin
  • Visible blood vessels (telangiectasias)
  • Actinic keratoses (precancerous lesions)

Much of this damage occurs beneath the skin surface, where it disrupts collagen, elastin, and DNA integrity — contributing to accelerated aging and skin cancer risk.

 Whether you want to rejuvenate, correct, or resurface, our laser protocols for sun damage repair offer safe and lasting results — for every skin tone and every concern.

Our Sun Damage Repair Treatment Approach

We use a multimodal, personalized strategy to restore skin health and appearance:

1. Photorejuvenation

We offer photorejuvenation using the Nd:YAG laser on our Cynosure Apogee Elite platform, a safe and effective light-based treatment designed to target redness, vascular lesions, and signs of sun damage. The 1064 nm wavelength of the Nd:YAG laser penetrates into the skin, where it selectively heats and constricts dilated blood vessels and capillaries, helping to reduce facial redness, telangiectasias, and uneven tone. It also stimulates collagen remodeling, improving skin texture and overall radiance over time.

Because the Nd:YAG laser is safe for a wide range of skin types and tones, it’s an excellent option for patients seeking non-ablative skin rejuvenation with little to no downtime.

2. RF Microneedling (Secret PRO)

Radiofrequency energy delivered deep into the dermis promotes collagen remodeling and skin tightening, improving skin texture, firmness, and tone — especially when sun damage has led to laxity or fine lines.

3. Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing

This treatment vaporizes damaged surface skin and stimulates regeneration. Ideal for more advanced sun damage, it dramatically improves rough texture, wrinkles, and actinic changes.

4. Preventive Monitoring

As part of your care, Dr. Schuller screens for actinic keratoses and suspicious lesions that may require biopsy or dermatologic referral — aligning aesthetic care with overall skin health.

What to Expect

  • Downtime: Varies by treatment (minimal with Nd:YAG laser; 3–7 days for CO2 laser)
  • Results: Gradual improvement over several weeks to months, with long-term collagen stimulation and pigment correction
  • Maintenance: Ongoing sun protection and periodic maintenance treatments recommended
