Silicon Valley Aesthetic Dermatology, a skincare clinic serving the Bay Area, has released new content focused on treating sun damage with laser skin rejuvenation. The announcement comes as many older residents contend with the long-term effects of sun exposure from decades past.
Dr. Miguel Canales, Medical Director of Silicon Valley Aesthetic Dermatology, notes that while California's sunshine is a perk, many older adults grew up in an era when sunbathing was encouraged. 'The skin damage is done,' he said. 'Lucky for them, we have new laser skin technology to help those past sunbathers repair sun damage from years ago.'
The clinic's new blog post, available at https://svaestheticderm.com/blog/2026/07/03/noticing-the-ghost-of-summers-past-on-your-skin/, explains that sun exposure from earlier years can manifest as dark age spots, wrinkles, fine lines, and patchy pigmentation. Common creams and lotions are often insufficient to address these issues.
Laser skin rejuvenation works by penetrating the dermis to break down damaged cells and stimulate collagen production, resulting in smoother, more even-toned skin. The clinic details several types of lasers used for this purpose:
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Broadband Light (BBL) target broken capillaries and brown spots. Non-ablative lasers affect the dermis without removing the epidermis, smoothing texture and breaking down hyperpigmentation. Ablative lasers target the top layers of damaged skin to treat wrinkles and leathery textures from long-term sun exposure.
The first step for patients is scheduling a consultation, with more information available on the clinic's laser skin rejuvenation page.
