San Mateo, CA – Silicon Valley Aesthetic Dermatology, a skincare clinic serving Bay Area men and women at its Foster City clinic, has announced new content on addressing sun damage to skin. The announcement comes as many older residents of California face the consequences of past sun exposure, a time when tanning was encouraged without the knowledge of its long-term effects.
According to Dr. Miguel Canales, Medical Director of Silicon Valley Aesthetic Dermatology, “One benefit to living in California is the lovely sunshine we enjoy. Through the years, the public has learned to manage their sun exposure to protect their skin and health. But older Bay Area residents come from a time when they were encouraged to bake in the sunshine. And the skin damage is done. Lucky for them, we have new laser skin technology to help those past sunbathers repair sun damage from years ago.”
The new blog post, available at https://svaestheticderm.com/blog/2026/07/03/noticing-the-ghost-of-summers-past-on-your-skin/, explains that sun exposure from decades earlier may now appear as dark age spots, wrinkles, fine lines, and patchy pigmentation. The article emphasizes that common creams and lotions cannot completely address these signs of sun damage, necessitating more advanced treatments.
Laser skin rejuvenation is presented as an effective solution. The treatment penetrates the dermis to break down damaged cells and stimulate collagen production, resulting in smoother, more even-toned skin. The clinic outlines several types of lasers used, including Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Broadband Light (BBL), which focus on broken capillaries and brown spots; non-ablative lasers, which affect the dermis without removing the epidermis to smooth texture and break down hyperpigmentation; and ablative lasers, which target the top layers of damaged skin to treat wrinkles and leathery textures caused by long-term sun exposure.
For those interested in undergoing laser skin rejuvenation, the first step is scheduling a consultation with the clinic. More details about the process and scheduling are available on the SVAD page at https://svaestheticderm.com/laser-skin-rejuvenation/.
