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.
Depending on assessment findings, treatment may include:
Treatment plans are tailored to your skin type, level of damage, and tolerance.
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.
