At Skindepth, the go-to treatment for sun damage is photodynamic therapy (PDT) combined with laser light. This innovative, multi-action treatment is a game changer when it comes to addressing all the hallmarks of sun-damaged skin.

You’ve probably heard of more traditional treatments for actinic keratosis, like liquid nitrogen (“freezing” or “burning” spots off) or Efudix (a topical chemotherapy cream). While these can treat superficial lesions, they often come with significant downtime and may leave permanent white marks behind. Even more importantly—they don’t target the full spectrum of sun damage like uneven pigmentation, redness, or fine lines.

Our PDT + laser treatment, offered right here at our skin clinic in Melbourne’s St Kilda East, addresses:

• Sun spots

• Broken capillaries and redness

• Brown pigmentation

• Rough skin texture

• Fine lines and wrinkles

It’s the ultimate all-in-one for skin rejuvenation—and one of our most sought-after treatments under the expert care of Dr Alice Rudd and the Skindepth Dermatology team.

Why Cooler Months Are the Best Time for Sun Damage Treatment

Because this treatment requires strict sun avoidance post-procedure, we typically recommend it during the cooler months of the year. That gives your skin the chance to heal and regenerate without added UV exposure, allowing for the best possible results.

The Perfect Pairing: Advanced Treatment + Expert Skincare

Your treatment doesn’t stop in the clinic. To get the most out of your sun damage repair, we’ll prescribe a tailored skincare regimen—your insurance policy for long-term results. Consistent use of the right active ingredients will help maintain your rejuvenated skin and protect it against further UV-related ageing.
