Sun Damage

Laser pigmentation treatment uses lasers designed to shatter excess melanin in the skin. As these lasers break apart melanin, the fragmented pigment is gradually cleared by the body, revealing new skin that naturally blends with the surrounding skin. These lasers offer different modalities that can be tailored to your specific needs, including your skin tone, the severity of sun damage, and sensitivity.

Laser skin resurfacing is a very popular and effective option for reversing sun damage. It safely removes the superficial, weathered layers of skin while using targeted heat to promote collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. This leads to a smoother, more even complexion and tighter skin, leaving patients with a boost in confidence. Versions of these laser resurfacing options may even help protect you from developing certain forms of precancers and skin cancers. Dr. Robert Anolik has contributed as a co-author to several articles in the medical journals discussing these topics.

Radiesse is an injectable dermal filler and collagen biostimulator designed to smooth wrinkles, restore volume, and improve skin elasticity. It is often used to improve crepey texture, sagging, and fine lines. Radiesse works by stimulating collagen and elastin production for gradual improvement, including thicker, tighter skin, a natural-looking boost in volume, and smoother fine lines. It is often used on the face, neck, chest, and hands.

Years of cumulative sun exposure can contribute to persistent facial redness, broken capillaries, and spider veins, particularly around the nose and cheeks. Vascular lasers target these visible blood vessels with concentrated light energy, allowing the body to clear them while preserving the surrounding skin gradually. Depending on your concerns, Dr. Anolik may combine vascular laser treatments with pigmentation or resurfacing lasers to address multiple signs of sun damage during a comprehensive treatment plan.
