Get to Know Laser for Sun-Damaged Skin

Living in Perth often means years of strong sun. Over time, this can show as sun spots, freckles, rough patches and fine lines that do not match how you feel inside. Laser for sun damaged skin is designed to address these cosmetic changes in a careful, medical setting.

At Ocean Cosmetics, your care is doctor led. We assess your skin for both health and appearance, making sure any concerning lesions are managed appropriately before cosmetic treatment. We then talk through what worries you most such as brown patches, texture changes or general mottling.

Your plan may include different laser platforms, light based therapies and skincare to support both appearance and long term skin health. Treatment can be gentle and staged or more intensive, depending on your skin and lifestyle.

Our focus is on realistic, gradual improvement and strong sun protection going forward.

Benefits & Target Areas

Targets brown marks and scattered freckles to help create a more even looking complexion.

Softens rough, dry or scaly patches linked to chronic sun exposure.

Supports collagen to improve the look of fine lines and crinkling.

Treats common sun exposed areas that often show damage first.

Addresses pigment and texture on the backs of the hands and lower arms.

Ideal for

This treatment is ideal for people with visible signs of sun damage such as spots, blotchiness or rough texture, and for clients who want to support skin health and appearance at the same time. It suits those who are willing to commit to sun protection and follow up care, are open to staged treatments with realistic outcomes, and have suitable skin types as confirmed at a doctor consultation.

Treatment Journey

Your doctor reviews your history, medications and sun exposure. We examine your skin carefully and may recommend further assessment for suspicious lesions. Cosmetic treatment options are then discussed and a personalised plan is created.

We may start you on tailored skincare and ask you to avoid tanning and certain products. Preparing the skin can support a more even response and smoother recovery.

You may experience redness, swelling, darkening of pigment and peeling as the skin renews. We provide detailed instructions for cleansing, moisturising and sun protection, along with review appointments.
