Sun Damage

Sun exposure is one of the most common causes of skin damage and aging. Sun damage is characterized by the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and other pigmentation irregularities on the skin.

Free, about 40 minutes, in London, Birmingham or Manchester. A written plan and the price before you decide.

Over time, sun exposure can significantly affect the way our skin looks and feels, making it appear older, dull, and less elastic. The harmful rays of the sun, known as UV radiation, penetrate the skin, causing harm to the DNA in our skin cells. This damage can cause skin cells to grow abnormally and contribute to the formation of pigmented spots, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. Additionally, sun exposure can also weaken the skin's elasticity, causing it to sag and lose its youthful firmness. At The Clinic Room, we understand the impact of sun damage on the skin and are dedicated to helping people reverse the effects of this condition. We treat over 10,000 people a year for pigmentation caused by sun damage and usually can treat them in 6 weeks or under using our Depigmentation Protocol. This protocol is specially designed to treat hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage, reducing the appearance of age spots, freckles, and other discoloration. Our Depigmentation Protocol is a combination of a customized skincare routine and targeted in-clinic treatments, including laser therapy and chemical peels. These treatments work together to brighten and even out the skin tone, reducing the appearance of sun damage and restoring a youthful and radiant complexion. If you're looking for a way to restore the youthful, healthy appearance of your skin, our Depigmentation Protocol may be the solution you've been searching for. To learn more about how we can help you achieve the skin of your dreams, contact us today to book a consultation with one of our experienced practitioners.

Questions people ask before booking

Is the consultation really free?

Yes. About 40 minutes, in person, in London, Birmingham or Manchester. You leave with a written plan and the price. No obligation.

How much will it cost?

It depends on what your skin needs. Your figure is written into your plan at the free consultation, before you decide, and there are flexible instalment options with no interest or admin fees.

How many visits, and how long?

A standard course is three to six visits over six to ten weeks. If there is a date you are working to, count back ten weeks and tell us.

Does it hurt?

Most treatments feel like warmth, tingling or a quick sting rather than pain, and numbing cream is used where it helps. The practitioner tells you exactly what to expect for your treatment before you decide, and you can stop at any point.

How many visits will I need?

It depends on the treatment and on your skin. Many plans are three to six visits over six to ten weeks; some single treatments are one visit. Your written plan says the number before you pay for anything.

When will I see a difference, and how long does it last?

Some treatments show a change within days; those that work by building collagen take six to twelve weeks to show fully. How long results last depends on the treatment, your skin and how well it is protected from the sun. The practitioner gives you a realistic timeline rather than a promise.

What is the downtime?

Anything from none to a few days of redness or peeling, depending on the treatment. Each treatment page says what to expect, and the plan is timed around your diary where it matters, for example before an event.

Is it safe for darker skin?

Darker skin has more active pigment cells and marks more easily, so settings and treatments are chosen for your skin type and some are avoided. Tell us your skin type at the consultation and the plan is built around it.

Who should not have it?

Pregnancy, some medications, active infections and certain medical conditions rule some treatments out. The consultation goes through this with you, and if a treatment is not suitable the practitioner says so and suggests what will work instead.

Can I combine treatments?

Often, and the programmes are built that way. The order matters: active acne is calmed before scarring is treated, for example. The practitioner sets the sequence.
