Sun damaged skin is generally rougher in texture and is often discoloured and wrinkled. Chronic sun exposure can lead to a thickening of the upper layers of the dermis, which leaves the skin looking leathery. Some individuals also develop broken blood vessels on the cheeks and nose from sun exposure.

At the Facial Surgery & Cosmetic Centre of Ottawa we recommend starting off with a Visia Complexion Analysis to determine the amount of UV damage present before we begin treatments. This sets a baseline and aids in determining what treatment approach is best. We offer a different number of treatment options for sun damaged skin depending on the client’s individual needs.

Light Chemical Peels such as Glycolic Acid, or PCA Peels which have a combination of different types of acids will aid in evening out the complexion although not effective for reducing blood vessels. These peels will improve texture and treat fine lines. We also perform DermaCeutic peels for melasma and stubborn pigmentation of the face and neck.

GentleWaves LED System: This is a series of 8 to 10 light based treatments which promotes production of collagen and helps to reduce the appearance of redness and fine wrinkles.

SkinTX Hyperpigmentation Program: This is an at home fitness program for your skin that helps to reduce hyperpigmentation, solar spots and wrinkles. It is an excellent alternative to in house exfoliative therapies, comes in a kit individualized for your skin and works over the course of 4½ months.

Photorejuvenation & Skin Tightening: Come fall, our laser technicians are very busy reducing the damage caused from the summer sun. Photorejuvenation is very effective for reducing brown pigmentation and blood vessels, as well as stimulating collagen and reducing fine wrinkles. The complexion is greatly improved with these modern light devices. These lasers can also improve laxity and thus improving facial contours.

GentleWaves LED  Photomodulation reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as improves the appearance of sun-weathered skin. GentleWaves is a natural non-thermal process that uses gentle LEDs emitting less energy than a 25 watt light bulb to improve the appearance of aging without skin tissue injury or patient discomfort.

GentleWaves is the first device to break the code of LED Photomodulation Technology. The key to the science behind GentleWaves lies in using gentle light energy at specifically selected proprietary codes for optimum effectiveness. The modulated light is then delivered to target treatment areas by sophisticated plused technology.

In a recent study 90 patients underwent 8 GentleWaves treatments 62% achieved improved appearance of skin around the eyes, 36% around the upper lip and 26% saw improvment of skin roughness around the eyes. Continued improvement in patients’ appearance was observed for 4 months after the last treatment session.

Five jane iredale products are recommended as an effective UV sunscreen

GREAT BARRINGTON, MA, (January 2010) — Iredale Mineral Cosmetics, Ltd., manufacturer of jane iredale – THE SKIN CARE MAKEUP, is pleased to announce its receipt of the Seal of Recommendation from The Skin Cancer Foundation on five of its most popular products. The Seal of Recommendation has become the respected standard for ensuring the safety and efficacy of ultraviolet (UV) protection products. The five products that will proudly wear the Seal include Amazing Base, PurePressed Base, Dream Tint, LipDrink and Powder-Me SPF in Tanned and Translucent. These products are now recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation as effective aids in the prevention of sun-induced damage to the skin, including sunburn and possibly premature aging.

The Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation has set the criteria for effective UV protection for more than 30 years. Products were evaluated by the Foundation’s Photobiology Committee, composed of leading U.S. dermatologists who are experts on how the sun interacts with the skin. Secondly, each product underwent testing for safety and efficacy standards, including an SPF of 15 or greater, validation of the SPF number by testing on 20 people, acceptable test results for phototoxic reactions and contact irritation, and substantiation for any claims that a sunscreen is water- or sweat-resistant.

“About 90 percent of nonmelanoma skin cancers are associated with exposure to UV rays, so we are thrilled to receive The Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation in an effort to help spread awareness on preventable measures against this deadly disease,” says Jane Iredale, President and Founder of Iredale Mineral Cosmetics. “We are not only committed to developing quality products to enhance color, but also the overall health of the skin – including skin cancer prevention.”

According to The Skin Cancer Foundation, products that contain sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 15 or more should be applied daily for prevention against harmful UV rays. jane iredale’s Amazing Base, PurePressed Base, Dream Tint, LipDrink and Powder-Me SPF in Tanned and Translucent range from an SPF of 15 to 30.
