Doctor-Led Management of Sun-Damaged Skin

Sun damage is cumulative, progressive, and often under-treated.

At Parkwood Skin Clinic, we manage sun-damaged skin as a medical condition, not a cosmetic issue.

Our focus is on repairing damaged skin, reducing future skin cancer risk, and restoring skin integrity over time.

What Is Sun-Damaged Skin?

rough or thickened skin
pigmentation changes
redness and broken capillaries
actinic keratoses (pre-cancerous lesions)
Solar elastosis( thickened, yellowish wrinkled skin

Repair & Treatment Options

Depending on assessment findings, treatment may include:

  • medical-grade laser therapy
  • field-based treatments for widespread damage
  • targeted treatment of actinic keratoses
  • barrier repair and skin support protocols
  • structured follow-up and surveillance

Treatment plans are tailored to your skin type, level of damage, and tolerance.

Our Approach

Many patients experience repeated spot treatments without addressing the underlying field damage.

We do not treat sun damage one lesion at a time without context.

Management begins with a comprehensive assessment.

This allows us to recommend appropriate repair and prevention strategies, not just reactive treatment.

mapping

Every appointment begins with a full skin cancer check, detailed dermoscopy, sun damage mapping, pigmentation and vascular analysis, and a full skin history.

Personalised
treatment plan

We don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. Treatment is tailored to your skin type, history, degree of sun damage, and your personal goals — whether that’s preventing skin cancer, reducing visible damage, or improving skin health long-term

Prevention
&
maintenance

Sun damage is cumulative. We work with you to develop a sustainable sun-safe routine, regular skin surveillance, and maintenance care so your skin remains protected and healthy for years to come.

Why a Structured Repair Plan Matters

Sun damage:

develops over decades

affects entire areas of skin

cannot be reversed with a single treatment

A structured approach:

improves overall skin quality

reduces the need for repeated spot treatments

lowers long-term cancer burden

provides clearer expectations and outcomes
