Summer may leave behind golden memories, but for your skin, the aftermath is less glamorous. After months of UV exposure, you may notice dullness, pigmentation, fine lines, and rough texture as your tan fades. This is the visible result of photoaging—a process where sun exposure accelerates collagen breakdown, stimulates excess melanin, and heightens oxidative stress in the skin.
At RESTOR Medical Spa, we offer advanced brightening treatments that repair, resurface, and restore radiance. Whether you’re seeking a quick glow-up or more comprehensive rejuvenation, our treatments are tailored to your skin’s unique needs.
The Science of Summer Damage
Extended sun exposure triggers a cascade of cellular damage:
- Collagen & elastin breakdown: UV radiation activates enzymes (MMPs) that weaken structural proteins, causing fine lines and laxity.
- Oxidative stress: Free radicals attack DNA, lipids, and proteins, accelerating visible aging.
- Hyperpigmentation: Overactive melanocytes clusters of pigment – such as freckles, sun spots, and uneven tone.
- Barrier compromise: Heat and environmental stress deplete natural lipids, leaving skin dry, rough, and sensitive.
To correct these changes, treatments must exfoliate damaged layers, stimulate collagen, and restore even tone and pigment.
RESTOR Brightening Solutions
1. The Glow-Up Facial – Smooth, Bright, and Event-Ready
When patients want a quick but clinically effective refresh, the Glow-Up Facial is our go-to. This treatment combines two powerful modalities:
- Dermaplaning: A precise exfoliation that removes dead skin cells and vellus hair (“peach fuzz”), leaving skin silky smooth and enhancing product absorption.
- Light “lunchtime” Laser Treatment: A gentle laser pass that targets pigmentation and stimulates cell turnover, instantly brightening the complexion.
The result is a smoother canvas, more even tone, and radiant glow—perfect before a big event or anytime you need instant results.
- Best for: Mild dullness, uneven texture, or pigmentation.
- Clinical benefits: Immediate brightening, refined smoothness, enhanced skincare penetration.
- Downtime: None – patients leave glowing, polished, and ready to shine.
2. Advanced Skin Resurfacing (ASR) – Customizable Correction & Renewal
For patients needing more intensive rejuvenation, Advanced Skin Resurfacing (ASR) provides a customizable solution. By creating controlled microchannels in the skin, ASR stimulates collagen synthesis, elastin production, and cellular turnover.
- Light ASR: Delivers a subtle refresh with minimal downtime, ideal for patients new to resurfacing or those with mild sun damage.
- Medium ASR: Balances correction and recovery, targeting pigmentation, fine lines, and moderate texture concerns.
- Deep ASR: Offers the most dramatic results, addressing deep pigmentation, wrinkles, and significant textural irregularities—best for patients willing to commit to longer downtime for more transformative outcomes.
- Best for: Moderate to advanced sun damage, melasma, fine lines, and uneven tone.
- Clinical benefits: Collagen regeneration, pigment reduction, smoother texture, improved firmness.
- Downtime: Ranges from a few days (light) to over a week (deep), depending on treatment depth and goals.
ASR’s flexibility makes it one of the most powerful and versatile treatments for reversing photoaging.
3. RESTOR Renewal Treatments – Sensitive, Revitalize & Restore
Every skin type deserves the right level of renewal. Our RESTOR Renewal Treatments combine different levels of retinol, vitamin C, and Alpha Hydroxy Acids – tailored to address a spectrum of concerns:
- Sensitive: A gentle treatment that resurfaces with minimal irritation—ideal for delicate or reactive skin.
- Revitalize: Restores brightness and hydration, addressing mild to moderate summer damage with a balanced approach.
- Restore: Our most intensive Renewal Treatment, designed for significant pigmentation, texture changes, and collagen loss—delivering dramatic renewal.
4. Brightening Serums – Daily Maintenance
In-office procedures lay the foundation, but medical-grade serums sustain the results between visits.
- RESTOR Vitamin C Serum: Neutralizes free radicals, inhibits excess melanin production, and brightens tone.
- RESTOR Hyaluronic Serum: Hydrates deeply, plumps fine lines, and enhances glow.
These formulations protect against oxidative stress and support long-term luminosity.
