Facial Rejuvenation:  Correct Sun Damage and Turn Back The Clock

Whether you’ve been lucky enough to jet off abroad this year – or instead, have been soaking up the sun on the golf course, chances are (if you haven’t been as liberal with SPF as you need to be), you might have noticed some changes in your skin. 

We all know that outdoor sports professionals and enthusiasts are at increased risk of skin damage, including premature ageing, sun spots and hyperpigmentation (discolouring of the skin); this usually appears in small patches, making your skin tone look uneven and patchy. Hyperpigmentation can show up anywhere on the face or body and appears typically as freckles or as a cluster of tiny spots that form a patch of darker skin. 

You can sometimes find topical products to help with hyperpigmentation but you’ll usually need clinical treatment to get rid of it for good! IPL is famously known for treating uneven tone and pigmented skin, and the Lumecca IPL treatment is the most powerful form of IPL out there. You can say goodbye to dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and even redness and broken capillaries/spider veins in just a few sessions!

During the treatment, an IPL laser delivers wavelengths of light into the affected skin. The laser interacts with brown and red pigments, which absorb the light and are destroyed (commonly in one session), leaving you with rejuvenated brighter skin. Lumecca can be used on all areas of the body. The most common areas treated are those that are regularly exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck and décolletage, hands and arms.

For many golfers, it’s not just skin tone that can impact confidence – sagging skin is a common concern; sun damage can cause skin laxity especially in areas such as above the knees, arms, sagging ‘turkey neck’ and jowls!  As we saw with Judy Murray’s amazing transformation, Morpheus8 can work wonders on lifting and tightening the jowl and neck area, especially when combined with medical-grade skincare or with a series of Lumecca IPL treatments. What people love about Morpheus8 is that it can also be used on other parts of the body such as the arms, thighs, abdomen, and chest. 

Having the right skin care – including sun protection in the Summer months – and then a subsequent rejuvenation protocol during the Autumn/Winter is the way to go, and this superstar treatment duo will certainly have you covered.  To find a clinic near you, visit our clinic finder, or email info@inmodemd.co.uk
