Undo the Sun—Reveal Your Best Skin with Solaria CO2 Laser for Sun Damage

Sun damage is more than just a summer memory—it’s a visible reminder that lingers on your skin in the form of uneven tone, brown spots, rough texture, and fine lines. If you’ve spent years enjoying the outdoors or have become diligent about sun protection after noticing these changes, you may wonder: Can you truly reverse the signs of sun exposure? With Solaria CO₂ laser technology at SLMA Skin Bar, the answer is a confident yes.

If you’re already avoiding the sun—whether for health, personal preference, or lifestyle reasons—this is the ideal time to schedule your Solaria CO₂ laser treatment. The post-treatment period requires sun avoidance, making your current habits perfect for a safe and comfortable recovery. You’ll not only protect your results, but also get a head start on glowing, rejuvenated skin just in time for fall festivals and the holiday season.

Understanding Sun Damage: Causes & Effects

Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun are the primary culprits behind premature skin aging. Over time, repeated sun exposure breaks down collagen and elastin, the building blocks that keep skin smooth and firm. This process triggers pigmentation changes and accelerates the aging process, resulting in:

• Brown spots and sunspots

• Uneven skin tone and rough texture

• Fine lines and deep wrinkles

• Premature loss of elasticity and a dull, tired appearance81

Even with the best at-home care, sun damage can be stubborn—especially if you’re dealing with years of accumulated exposure.

Solaria CO₂ Laser: How It Works

Solaria represents the next generation of fractional CO₂ laser technology, designed for deep skin resurfacing and advanced collagen stimulation. Unlike older lasers, Solaria uses a fractional approach, delivering energy in a precise, pixelated pattern. This creates micro-columns of controlled thermal injury surrounded by healthy tissue, which speeds up healing and minimizes downtime.

How Solaria Works:

• Targets and removes damaged skin cells at the surface and deeper layers

• Stimulates the body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production

• Leaves surrounding skin intact for faster recovery and reduced risk of complications

• Customizable settings allow for tailored treatments—light, moderate, or deep ablation—based on your unique needs

Treatment Benefits:

• Reduces sunspots, pigmentation, and uneven tone

• Smooths rough texture and restores a supple feel

• Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles

• Stimulates long-term collagen renewal for ongoing improvement

Who Should Consider Solaria?

Solaria is ideal for a wide range of clients, including:

• Individuals with visible sun damage: uneven tone, brown spots, rough texture, and fine lines

• Adults who once loved the outdoors but now avoid the sun due to skin concerns or medical advice

• Clients with a history of sunburn, hyperpigmentation, or premature aging from UV exposure

• Those with sensitive or mature skin seeking gentle yet effective rejuvenation

• Sun-avoidant, SPF-devoted clients wanting advanced renewal beyond topical products

• Anyone dissatisfied with creams, serums, or non-laser treatments for sun damage

The Treatment Experience: What to Expect

Solaria Treatment Exp

Solaria treatments are performed in a comfortable, professional setting at SLMA Skin Bar. Here’s what you can expect:

• Preparation: A topical numbing cream is applied for 30–45 minutes to ensure comfort. For deeper treatments, local anesthesia or mild sedation may be used.

• Procedure: The treatment itself takes 30–90 minutes, depending on the area and depth. Solaria’s advanced handpiece and scanning patterns allow for precise, uniform energy delivery.

• Post-Treatment: After your session, a cooling serum or ointment is applied. Expect redness and swelling similar to a sunburn for the first 2–3 days, followed by peeling and flaking as new skin emerges.

• Downtime: Most clients experience 5–7 days of visible recovery, with the option to return to normal activities in 3–5 days for light treatments. Deeper treatments may require up to 2 weeks for full healing.

• Results: You’ll notice an initial glow within 7–10 days, with continued improvement as collagen rebuilds over the next 3–6 months.

Real Results: Before & After

Solaria is renowned for delivering dramatic, natural-looking results after just one session. Clients report:

• Smoother, brighter, and more even skin tone

• Significant reduction in brown spots and discoloration

• Noticeable softening of fine lines and wrinkles

• Improved texture and overall radiance

Full results continue to develop as your skin produces new collagen, with many clients enjoying benefits that last for years—especially when paired with diligent sun protection and a tailored skincare routine.

Why Choose Solaria Over Other Solutions?

While topical creams and superficial treatments can offer minor improvements, they often fall short when it comes to reversing deep sun damage. Solaria stands out for several reasons:

• Gold Standard Technology: CO₂ lasers are widely regarded as the most effective option for treating severe sun damage and photoaging.

• Customizable for Every Skin Journey: Solaria’s advanced settings and scanning patterns allow your provider to tailor the treatment to your specific needs, whether you require light resurfacing or deeper correction.

• Minimal Downtime, Maximum Results: Thanks to fractional technology, Solaria offers faster healing and less risk of complications compared to traditional ablative lasers.

• Long-Lasting Outcomes: Collagen stimulation continues for months, providing ongoing improvement and helping to maintain results with proper care.
