Scarring or Sun Damage

Understanding Scarring & Sun Damage

Scarring and sun damage can affect the texture, tone, and overall appearance of your skin. Whether caused by acne, surgery, trauma, or prolonged sun exposure, these conditions can lead to uneven pigmentation, fine lines, rough patches, or visible marks that may affect your confidence. At The Centre for Cosmetic Surgery & Medicine, with convenient locations in Wilmington and Lewes, Delaware, we offer a variety of advanced, non-surgical treatments to help restore smoother, clearer, and more radiant skin.

Our team uses medical-grade chemical peels, innovative laser treatments, and cutting-edge skin regeneration technology to target skin damage at the source. We work with you to develop a customized plan tailored to your skin type, concerns, and goals so you can achieve noticeable, lasting results.

What Causes Scarring or Sun Damage?

Scarring typically results from injury, surgery, or inflammatory skin conditions like acne. These marks can appear raised, pitted, discolored, or uneven. Sun damage, on the other hand, is the result of long-term exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays, leading to brown spots, fine lines, wrinkles, and rough skin texture. Both conditions are common and treatable with the right combination of medical-grade solutions.

Ideal Candidates for Scarring and Sun Damage Treatments

You may be a candidate for treatment if you experience:

• Acne scars or surgical scars
• Hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tone
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Rough or dull skin texture
• Enlarged pores
• Redness or dark spots caused by sun exposure

A consultation at our Wilmington or Lewes office will help determine the most effective treatment plan for your needs.

Treatment Options for Scarring and Sun Damage

We offer a comprehensive range of professional treatments designed to resurface the skin, promote cellular renewal, and improve skin clarity and texture.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels use safe, controlled exfoliation to remove damaged outer layers of skin and stimulate new collagen growth. We offer a wide selection of chemical peels, each tailored to specific concerns and skin types:

• ZO 3 Step Peel: Improves skin texture, discoloration, and acne scars
• The Perfect Derma Peel: Brightens skin and reduces signs of aging and sun damage
• Stim Peel: Designed for deeper exfoliation and improved skin tone
• PRX-T33: A no-peel biorevitalization treatment that stimulates collagen without downtime
• Glytone Mandelic Acid Peel: Ideal for sensitive skin and treating post-inflammatory pigmentation
• Glytone Salicylic Acid Peel: Reduces active acne and unclogs pores
• Glytone Eye and Lip Peel: Targets fine lines and discoloration around delicate areas
• Glytone Pyruvic Acid Peel: Promotes smoother texture and improved elasticity
• Glytone Neck Peel: Revitalizes the thin, sun-damaged skin on the neck

Laser Treatments

Laser and light-based treatments use focused energy to target pigmentation, redness, and irregular texture while encouraging healthy skin regeneration.

• IPL Photofacial: Treats sun spots, redness, and visible veins for a more even skin tone
• Aerolase LightPod Neo: A gentle yet powerful laser that treats scarring, pigmentation, and redness with minimal discomfort
• Skin Resurfacing: Uses fractional laser technology to smooth fine lines and reduce the appearance of scarring

NeoGen Plasma Skin Regeneration

NeoGen is an advanced plasma energy treatment that revitalizes the entire skin architecture. Unlike lasers that remove layers of skin, NeoGen preserves the skin barrier while treating pigmentation, wrinkles, and scarring. It stimulates collagen production and promotes long-term regeneration, making it ideal for patients seeking comprehensive skin restoration with minimal downtime.

Recovery and Post-Treatment Care

Downtime varies depending on the treatment. Most chemical peels involve a few days of mild peeling or flaking, while laser and plasma treatments may result in temporary redness or swelling. Your provider will give you detailed post-care instructions to protect your skin and optimize your results.

Avoid direct sun exposure and always apply broad-spectrum SPF during recovery and long-term maintenance.

Long-Term Maintenance and Skin Health

To maintain your results, regular treatments and a consistent skincare routine are essential. We may recommend periodic maintenance sessions along with medical-grade skincare products that support your skin’s natural healing and collagen production. Protecting your skin from future sun damage is also key to preserving your results.

Expected Results and Realistic Goals

While results may vary, many patients notice brighter, smoother, and more even skin after just one treatment. Depending on the severity of the condition, a series of sessions may be recommended for optimal outcomes. Improvement continues over time as collagen rebuilds and skin renews itself from within.

Common improvements include:

• Softer, more even skin texture
• Reduced appearance of fine lines and scarring
• Brighter, more uniform skin tone
• Healthier, more youthful glow

Cost and Consultation

The cost of treatment depends on the procedure type, treatment area, and number of sessions required. During your consultation, we will evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and create a personalized plan. Our team will provide you with a detailed estimate and offer flexible payment options to make treatment as accessible as possible.
