While daily sun exposure has a myriad of benefits from mental health to lowering blood pressure, it's also the leading cause of premature skin aging, hyperpigmentation and skin cancer.1,2
This article explores three of the most effective wellness solutions to help repair and rejuvenate your skin, from the surface down to the cellular level for a healthy, vibrant complexion.
Signs of Sun Damage
Chronic sun exposure leads to a variety of visible and invisible changes in the skin, including:
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Broken blood vessels (telangiectasia)
- Brown spots and hyperpigmentation
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Melasma (patchy discoloration)
- Loss of skin elasticity and firmness1
Recognizing these signs early allows for timely intervention and more effective treatment outcomes. Here are three powerful options.
Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy utilizes specific wavelengths of low-level red light to stimulate cellular activity, particularly in the mitochondria, the energy centers of cells. This stimulation enhances cellular repair, collagen synthesis and overall skin rejuvenation. Collagen is essential for maintaining skin structure, strength and elasticity.
A Closer Look at Clinical Evidence:
- In a controlled trial, red and near-infrared light treatments significantly improved skin complexion, texture, collagen density and reduced wrinkles compared to controls, with high patient satisfaction and no significant adverse effects.3
- Over 90% of patients reported softer, smoother skin, less redness and lightening of dark spots after a series of red light treatments, in a recent study.4

NAD+ & Niagen Therapy
NAD+ is a vital coenzyme involved in cellular energy production, DNA repair and oxidative stress regulation. NAD+ levels decline with age and sun exposure, contributing to cellular dysfunction and visible skin aging.
Niagen (NR), on the other hand, is relatively newer to the wellness market, but it's a powerful, clinically studied precursor to NAD+ shown to safely elevate NAD+ levels, boosting cellular repair and potentially mitigating age- and sun-related skin changes without adverse experiences.
A Closer Look at Clinical Evidence:
- Using IV Drips and IM Shots of NAD+ has demonstrated improvements in cardiovascular function, reduction of inflammatory cytokines and enhanced mitochondrial activity in clinical trials.5
- NAD+ supports the skin’s natural repair mechanisms, improves barrier resilience and may enhance the effectiveness of aesthetic treatments such as microneedling and laser therapy by optimizing cellular response.6
Targeting NAD+ depletion addresses the root causes of aging at the cellular level, and it has seen tremendous potential in boosting skin health. NAD+ and Niagen Therapy can help boost cognition, reduce anxiety, improve sleep and so much more. Read more about the benefits here.
HydroPeptide HydroGlow Facial
Lastly, our list of science-backed solutions for skin health wouldn't be complete without a facial. The HydroPeptide HydroGlow Skin Brightening Facial is designed to instantly boost radiance and fade dark spots using potent ingredients, studied for efficacy.

HydroPeptide’s patented peptide technology and triple-weight hyaluronic acid deeply hydrate the skin, improve moisture retention and strengthen the skin barrier, leaving the skin plumper and more resilient.
Recommended Frequency
For optimal results, your licensed Esthetician may suggest weekly facials before moving to monthly sessions for maintenance.
Additional Ways to Prevent & Repair Sun Damage
- Sun Protection: Consistent use of broad-spectrum sunscreen, protective clothing and hats remains the cornerstone of sun damage prevention.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Avoiding tanning beds and minimizing midday sun exposure further reduces risk.
- Regular Professional Treatments: Combining advanced therapies with professional facials and home care maximizes skin health and appearance. Ask one of our licensed Estheticians about a customized plan to reach your goals!
