Sun damage treatment is about more than correcting what you see on the surface. It is about understanding how your skin has changed over time, repairing visible damage, and supporting healthier skin moving forward. At Lycia Thornburg, MD Dermatology, your care is guided by experience, precision, and a personalized approach designed around your skin’s unique history. If you are noticing dark spots, uneven tone, or changes in texture, Dr. Lycia Thornburg offers tailored care to restore clarity and strengthen your skin over time.
Restore Clarity and Support Long-term Skin Health
Sun damage develops gradually, often from years of UV exposure, and can appear as discoloration, rough texture, fine lines, or loss of elasticity. While these changes are common, they are also deeply individual, shaped by your skin type, lifestyle, and environment. Addressing sun damage thoughtfully helps improve both how your skin looks and how it functions, supporting long-term resilience and overall skin health.
Common Signs of Sun Damage
- Dark spots, hyperpigmentation, or darkened freckles
- Uneven skin tone or blotchiness
- Fine lines and early signs of wrinkles
- Rough, dry, or dull skin texture
- Loss of firmness or elasticity, sometimes with redness or visible vessels

VISIA® Skin Analysis
VISIA Skin Analysis allows Dr. Thornburg to assess your skin beyond what is visible to the eye, revealing underlying pigmentation, sun damage, and early changes. This deeper insight helps guide treatment decisions, track progress, and create a more precise and collaborative plan so you can better understand your skin and its needs.
BBL® HEROic™
BBL HEROic is a powerful light-based treatment that targets sun damage at its source by delivering controlled energy to break up pigmentation and stimulate cellular renewal. Over time, this helps reduce dark spots, even out skin tone, and restore brightness while supporting collagen production for healthier, more resilient skin.
HALO® TRIBRID™ Laser
HALO TRIBRID treats both the surface and deeper layers of the skin using multiple wavelengths, allowing for a more comprehensive and customizable approach. It improves tone, texture, and fine lines while stimulating collagen, helping your skin look smoother, clearer, and more naturally refreshed over time.
MOXI™ for Early Intervention
MOXI is a gentle, non-ablative laser designed for early correction and ongoing maintenance. It supports your skin’s natural renewal process while improving tone and texture, making it an ideal option for preventing and managing early signs of sun damage over time.
