Sun Damage & Sun Spot Removal Treatment
Years of sun exposure take a cumulative toll on the skin, resulting in sun spots (solar lentigines), uneven pigmentation, rough texture, fine lines, and a dull, weathered appearance. Sun damage is the single largest contributor to premature skin ageing, responsible for up to 80% of visible facial ageing. At Skin Health Practice in Hounslow, we offer a range of advanced treatments to reverse the effects of UV damage, remove sun spots, and restore your skin to a healthier, more youthful state.

How Sun Damage Affects Your Skin
UV radiation penetrates the skin and damages the DNA in skin cells, leading to a cascade of changes over time. Melanocytes respond by producing excess melanin, resulting in sun spots and uneven pigmentation. Collagen and elastin fibres are broken down, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness. The skin's texture becomes rougher as cell turnover slows. These changes are cumulative — the sun damage from decades of exposure adds up, becoming more visible as we age.
Our Sun Damage Treatment Options
We tailor our approach based on the type and severity of your sun damage. Laser pigmentation removal targets individual sun spots with precision, breaking down concentrated melanin deposits so the body can naturally clear them. Medical-grade mesoestetic chemical peels resurface the skin, removing damaged outer layers and stimulating fresh, healthy cell growth. Dermalux LED therapy supports skin repair at a cellular level, reducing inflammation and boosting collagen production. For comprehensive sun damage, we often combine these treatments into a structured programme for the best results.
Prevention and Long-Term Skin Health
Treating existing sun damage is only part of the equation. Preventing further damage is essential for maintaining results and protecting your long-term skin health. We provide comprehensive advice on daily sun protection, including the importance of broad-spectrum SPF 50 applied every day — even on cloudy days and in winter. Antioxidant serums containing vitamin C provide an additional layer of defence against UV-generated free radicals, and regular professional treatments help keep your skin in optimal condition.
