What Is Sun Damage?
Sun damage builds up slowly, long before it shows on the surface. UV rays break down collagen and disrupt normal pigment production, which is why sun-exposed skin often looks older than skin that’s been protected. Photoaging is the technical term for this, and it covers everything from fine lines to uneven pigment to a rougher overall texture. Areas that see the most sun, your face, neck, chest, and hands, usually show damage first and show it the most.
WHAT WE OFFER
Sun Damage Skin Clinic Treatment Options
Embrace treats sun damage in Collierville with a combination of in office correction and medical-grade skincare, matched to how deep the damage sits.
ZO Skin Health Topical Therapy
ZO Skin Health Topical Therapy
ZO Skin Health targets sun damage and pigmentation at the surface, supporting your skin between visits and protecting results over time. This works well for early damage and ongoing upkeep.
IPL Photofacial with Alpha
IPL Photofacial with Alpha
Alpha’s IPL photofacial targets pigment and redness left behind by mild to moderate sun damage, working as a photo rejuvenation treatment that breaks down discoloration for natural sun spot removal over the following days.
Magma Laser Resurfacing
Magma Laser Resurfacing
Magma reaches deeper than topicals alone, correcting sun spots, age spots, and uneven tone. That’s built up over years. This option fits moderate damage that hasn’t responded to lighter approaches.
AquaFirme XS Facial Therapy
AquaFirme XS Facial Therapy
AquaFirme XS combines deep cleansing, hydration, and nutrient delivery to support skin already treated with laser or topical care, keeping results looking fresh and healthy between sessions long term.

Before and After
Photos below show what laser resurfacing and topical care can accomplish for sun damaged skin over time. Each image comes from an actual patient’s treatment, and results vary depending on how much damage has built up beforehand.
Results and What to Expect
Results build gradually since skin needs time to regenerate after treatment. Most patients notice smoother texture and fading spots within a few weeks of IPL, while Magma’s deeper correction often takes four to six weeks to show its full effect.
Maintenance keeps results steady. New sun exposure can bring pigment back. Daily SPF and periodic touch-ups protect the initial treatment just as much as the procedure itself did.

Our Sun Damage Treatment Process
Skin Consultation and Assessment
We evaluate your skin, how much sun exposure it’s seen, and which areas need correction.
Personalized Treatment Plan
You leave with a written plan covering treatments for your skin and how many sessions to expect.
In Office Treatment
You come in for scheduled sessions while we track how your skin responds along the way.
Maintenance and Protection
We help you build a daily skincare routine that protects your results long after treatment ends.
Benefits of Treating Sun Damage
Treating sun damage evens out your tone and softens texture that’s built up over years in the sun. Most patients notice smoother, brighter skin within weeks, along with fewer visible spots. Catching damage early also helps prevent it from progressing further.
Preventing Further Sun Damage
Treatment corrects existing damage, but sunscreen is what keeps new damage from forming. A broad-spectrum SPF 50 applied daily, even on cloudy days, protects the progress you’ve made and slows how fast new damage builds.
ZO Skin Health includes antioxidant serums and sun protection formulated to work alongside in-office treatment. Most patients pair their treatment plan with a daily skincare routine built around protecting the results they’ve already paid for.
Sun Damage Treatment Cost in Collierville
Cost depends on which treatment fits your skin, IPL, Magma resurfacing, or a combination of both, and how many sessions your damage needs to clear. Topical care alone costs less than adding in office laser sessions on top of it.
The most accurate way to know your number is a consultation, where your skin is carefully reviewed and a plan is built around what you actually need. Financing through Cherry is available if you’d rather spread the cost over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
I have sun spots on my face, what should I do?
A consultation is the best first step, since treatment depends on how deep the pigment sits and how much sun exposure your skin has seen. IPL works well for surface spots, while deeper resurfacing addresses more built up damage.
Is it too late to treat sun damaged skin?
Rarely. Even skin with years of sun exposure usually responds to treatment, though results take longer and may need more sessions than milder cases. A consultation gives you an honest picture of what’s realistic for your skin.
What happens if I don't treat sun damaged skin?
Sun damage tends to progress rather than stay the same, with spots darkening and texture continuing to roughen over more years of exposure. Treating it earlier usually means fewer sessions and a faster path to lasting improvement overall.
How do I know if my skin has sun damage?
Look for spots, uneven tone, rougher texture, or fine lines that seem deeper than your age suggests. If sun exposed areas like your face, neck, and hands look older than the rest of your skin, that’s sun damage.
Can sun damage on skin be reversed?
Sun damage can’t be completely undone, but treatment corrects most of what’s visible, softening spots and texture until tone looks even again. Ongoing sun protection is what keeps those results holding steady in the years ahead.
How long does it take to see results from sun damage treatment?
Most patients notice smoother texture and less visible redness within a few weeks of their first IPL session. Deeper correction from Magma resurfacing usually takes four to six weeks to show its full effect as skin regenerates.
Is sun damage treatment painful?
Most patients describe treatment as manageable rather than genuinely painful, especially compared to what they expect going in. IPL feels like a light snap against the skin, and Magma resurfacing may cause mild warmth that fades quickly.
How many sessions are needed to treat sun damage?
That depends on how deep the damage sits and which treatment your plan includes. IPL often needs a series of sessions spaced weeks apart, while some patients notice visible change after just one or two Magma sessions alone.
Is sun damage treatment covered by insurance?
No. Sun damage treatment is considered cosmetic, so insurance typically doesn’t cover it. We’ll walk you through pricing and financing options honestly during your consultation, so nothing about cost gets left unclear beforehand.
What is the recovery time after sun damage treatment?
IPL involves little to no downtime, and most patients return to normal activities the same day. Magma resurfacing may bring mild redness or flaking for a few days depending on how deep the treatment went.
At what age should you start treating sun damage?
There’s no set age, since sun damage depends on exposure and skin type rather than a birthday. Many patients start in their thirties or forties when spots and texture changes first become noticeable enough to address.
Can sun damage treatment prevent skin cancer?
Treatment corrects the cosmetic effects of sun damage, but it isn’t a substitute for skin cancer screening. If you notice a new or changing spot, mention it during your visit so it can be properly evaluated.
