Medical-Grade Skincare

Professional skincare products may help improve skin tone, texture, and overall skin health while supporting long-term maintenance, particularly for age spots and other effects of photoaging.

Chemical Peels

Professional chemical peels effectively remove damaged surface skin cells, brighten the complexion, and target pigmentation issues caused by sun exposure, making them a key component of any photoaging treatment.

CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing

Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is one of the most effective treatments for improving sun-damaged skin. It stimulates collagen production and addresses fine lines, wrinkles, and selected pigmentation concerns, including age spots and overall skin rejuvenation.

Microneedling

Microneedling stimulates collagen production, which may improve skin texture, fine lines, and overall skin quality, contributing to a comprehensive skin rejuvenation strategy.

PRP Facial Rejuvenation (Vampire Facial)

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) can be combined with microneedling to support skin regeneration and enhance overall skin quality, effectively working against the signs of photoaging.

Polynucleotides

Polynucleotide treatments help support skin repair, improve elasticity, and promote healthier-looking skin, aiding in the rejuvenation process for photoaged skin.

Profhilo® and Skin Boosters

Injectable skin treatments can enhance hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality, complementing other treatments designed for photoaging and maintaining the youthfulness of your skin.

Protecting your skin is essential for maintaining the results of your photoaging treatment and minimizing age spots. We recommend: Daily broad-spectrum SPF 50+, protective clothing and hats, avoiding excessive sun exposure, consistent medical-grade skincare, and regular skin assessments. Good sun protection remains one of the most effective strategies for skin rejuvenation and combating the signs of aging.

At Dermal Plus Clinic, we take a personalised and medically informed approach to treating sun-damaged skin, including concerns like age spots. Rather than focusing on a single photoaging treatment, we assess your skin as a whole and create a bespoke skin rejuvenation plan designed to improve skin quality while maintaining natural-looking results. Our goal is to help you achieve healthier, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin through evidence-based treatments and realistic expectations.
