What Does Sun Damage Look Like on Our Skin?

From sunburn to sunspots, pigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, redness, and uneven skin texture, overexposure to the sun can have lasting effects on your skin. In the worst-case scenario, prolonged sun exposure increases the risk of skin cancer. Protecting and restoring your skin is essential to maintaining a healthy, youthful complexion.

According to Glamour Magazine UK, an estimated 90% of skin ageing is caused by the sun.

This means that fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation are often not just a result of natural ageing but a direct consequence of UV exposure. Additionally, excessive UV exposure can lead to actinic keratosis, a rough, scaly patch of skin that can develop into squamous cell carcinoma, a common form of skin cancer. Melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer, is also linked to prolonged sun damage, making sun protection a crucial part of skin health.

If you’ve noticed signs of sun damage, it’s time to take action and restore your skin’s health. Treatments such as chemical peels, micro-needling, mesotherapy, and the daily use of SPF can significantly improve skin tone and texture, helping you achieve a radiant complexion once again.

WOW Facial Bright Peel

The WOW Facial Bright Peel is an advanced chemical peel designed to target hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, and dullness. Formulated with a powerhouse of active ingredients—Lactic, Mandelic, Citric, Glycolic, Pyruvic, and Kojic acids—this peel works to exfoliate, brighten, and refine the skin.

As part of our revolutionary six-stage WOW facial, this chemical peel is tailored to your skin’s specific needs. Your skincare therapist will determine the best option based on the extent of your sun damage. The Bright Peel helps diminish the visible signs of overexposure, leaving your skin softer, smoother, and more radiant with instant results.

WOW Fusion + White Serum

For deeper rejuvenation, WOW Fusion offers a cutting-edge combination of micro-needling and mesotherapy. This innovative treatment stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen production and cellular renewal.

Your skin specialist will create a personalised blend of high-grade vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, delivering targeted nourishment to combat:

Dehydration
Redness and inflammation
Fine lines and wrinkles
Hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage

WOW Fusion delivers long-lasting hydration and revitalisation, making it the ideal solution for post-summer skin recovery.

Protect Your Skin with SPF 50

Prevention is always better than cure. Even on cloudy days, UVA and UVB rays can penetrate the skin, causing long-term damage. That’s why using a broad-spectrum SPF 50 should be an essential part of your daily skincare routine—no matter the season!

Applying SPF daily helps to:

Prevent premature ageing
Reduce the risk of sunspots and pigmentation
Protect against harmful UV rays that contribute to skin cancer

Make SPF a non-negotiable step in your routine to keep your skin healthy, youthful, and protected all year round.

Are You Ready to Restore Your Skin?

Sun damage may be inevitable, but with the right care and treatments, your skin can regain its natural glow. Whether you’re looking to brighten pigmentation, boost hydration, or smooth fine lines, WOW Facial, WOW Fusion, and SPF protection offer the perfect solutions for skin recovery.

Very friendly staff! I suffer with anxiety and every time I have an appointment the dentist is very patient and goes through everything to make sure I am OK and not too nervous. The dentist nurses, particularly Rachel is amazing! Especially with my children when they come in makes me feel at ease!

From the offset call confirming my appointment this dental practice experience was five star compared to dentist based Midlands . Front desk staff / nurses excellent giving me the reassurance that I was booked in with a great dentist as I personally have a fear of the dentist being in my late 30s . After my review etc with the dentist it was forgone conclusion that a full on extraction was required the dentist himself was unbelievable reassuring excellent service total professionalism which I haven’t come across recently, great team whom care about the patient journey I most certainly didn’t just feel like a number under their care . Thank you to all staff at Larkham House Dental Practice.
