What is Sun Damage?

The following conditions are examples of sun damage:
- Melasma
- Age spots
- Actinic keratosis
- Freckles
- Sunburn
How is Sun Damage Treated?
Sun damage is characterized by uneven skin tone and texture. Fortunately, these symptoms can be effectively addressed with a number of treatment options. Treatment focuses on exfoliating the damaged skin cells and allowing healthy cells to grow in their place. Such treatments include:
- Laser treatments
- Chemical peels
- Dermaplaning
- Microdermabrasion
- Topical medications
How Much Does Sun Damage Treatment Cost?
The cost of sun damage treatments at Florida Dermatology Specialists can vary depending on the extent of treatment needed to produce your desired results.
