Post-Sun Skin Repair: The Best Treatments to Restore Your Glow After Summer

How to Rejuvenate, Brighten, and Hydrate Sun-Exposed Skin with Clear + Brilliant, IPL Photo Facials, Hydrafacials, and Rejuran

Summer may be all about sunshine, salt water, and SPF, but those long days spent outdoors can take a serious toll on your skin. Even with diligent sunscreen use, UV rays, chlorine, and saltwater can leave your complexion looking dull, dehydrated, and uneven.

Fortunately, modern aesthetic dermatological science offers solutions that go far beyond your usual moisturizer. At LaserAway, treatments like Clear + Brilliant, IPL Photofacials, Hydrafacials, and Rejuran work together to reverse summer skin damage and bring your glow back—healthier and brighter than before.

The Effects of Sun and Sea on Your Skin

While summer fun is great for the soul, it’s not always so kind to your skin. UV exposure breaks down collagen and elastin, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. Salt and chlorine strip the skin’s natural moisture barrier, causing dryness, redness, and irritation.

The result? Rough texture, enlarged pores, and an overall tired appearance. But here’s the good news: your post-sun recovery plan starts with treatments that target these exact issues—each one designed to renew, repair, and deeply hydrate.

1. Clear + Brilliant: Your Post-Sun Skin Reset

Think of Clear + Brilliant as your “skin reset button.” This gentle, fractional laser rejuvenates from the inside out by resurfacing damaged skin cells and stimulating collagen renewal.

Dr. Will Kirby, Chief Medical Officer at LaserAway, explains it best:

“What it does is it punches millions of microvascular channels in your skin, revitalizing your complexion and making it appear smoother, softer, and more supple.”

After just one treatment, skin feels refreshed and noticeably more radiant. Over time, Clear + Brilliant helps fade sun spots and discoloration, improve texture, and restore that youthful glow. It’s minimally invasive, suitable for all skin types, and requires virtually no downtime—making it ideal for transitioning from summer to fall.

2. IPL Photofacials: Erase the Signs of Sun Damage

If you’ve noticed stubborn sun spots or redness that linger long after your tan fades, IPL Photofacials (Intense Pulsed Light) are your go-to. This powerful light-based treatment targets pigmentation and discoloration, evening out tone for a brighter, clearer complexion.

According to Dr. Will Kirby,

“If you suffer from brown discoloration, red discoloration, and your skin is looking older because of it, well, you might be a great candidate for IPL Intense Pulsed Light treatment.”

IPL doesn’t just work on the face—it can be performed on the neck, chest, shoulders, and hands, too. It’s one of the most effective ways to fade sun-induced pigmentation and reveal luminous, even-toned skin from head to toe.

3. Hydrafacial: Deep Clean, Hydrate, and Glow

After months of sunscreen, sweat, and salt, your skin craves a serious detox. The Hydrafacial delivers just that—a five-step treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, and infuses hydration, all in under an hour.

As Arsema Hawariat, RN, Lead Clinician at LaserAway, explains,

“The Hydrafacial is a five-step facial that will exfoliate, peel, extract, and hydrate the skin. At LaserAway, we offer LED red light therapy and a cooling mask for lasting results.”

This treatment reduces inflammation, clears congestion, and instantly boosts radiance. It’s the perfect prep before or after laser treatments like Clear + Brilliant and IPL, helping your skin absorb active ingredients more effectively. The best part? Zero downtime and immediate glow.

4. Rejuran: The Bioregenerative Power of Salmon DNA

To truly amplify your post-sun recovery, Rejuran® takes things to the next level. This innovative treatment from South Korea uses purified salmon DNA (PN/PDRN) to accelerate healing, improve elasticity, and enhance radiance—especially when paired with lasers like Clear + Brilliant or RF Microneedling.

At LaserAway, Rejuran’s Healing Essence and Tone-Up Booster can be added post-treatment to support collagen repair, smooth fine lines, and deliver that coveted “glass-skin” finish.

The result? Firmer, smoother, and more luminous skin that looks refreshed and revitalized from within.

Your End-of-Summer Skin Recovery Plan

Here’s how to combine these treatments for maximum glow:

  • Start with a Hydrafacial to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate.
  • Follow with Clear + Brilliant or an IPL Photofacial to target texture, tone, and pigmentation.
  • Finish with Rejuran Healing Essence to boost recovery and amplify results.

Together, they form the ultimate post-sun skin regimen—restoring radiance while preventing future damage. You may need to book these treatments separately, and one of our treatment specialists will help you craft the perfect treatment plan.
