Years in the Queensland sun tend to leave a memory on your skin: sun spots, age spots, uneven tone, and that dull “layered” look. But those marks don’t have to stay. At Injex Clinics, we combine science, precision and skincare to help reverse sun damage, fade age spots and rebuild youthful clarity — without sacrificing safety or authenticity.
Let’s partner with your skin to undo what the sun has done, and keep it protected from here on out.
“Sun damage and age spots” is an umbrella term covering changes in skin caused by cumulative UV exposure, manifested as dark or brown patches, uneven pigmentation, freckles, solar lentigines (the classic “age spots”) and mottled texture. Over time, the sun accelerates uneven melanin distribution, weakens collagen, and leads to skin laxity, lines, roughness and pigment irregularities.
Age spots (also called solar lentigines or “liver spots”) are flat, brown or tan macules that appear on areas with repeated sun exposure typically face, hands, shoulders, forearms and upper chest.
They differ from freckles (which appear earlier and may fade in winter) and from melasma (which often shows blotchy patterns, not discrete spots).
While these skin changes are mostly cosmetic, sun damage is a sign that your skin’s protective barrier and DNA have been under stress meaning prevention and monitoring are essential.
Below are the in‑clinic treatments we offer at Injex Clinics to address sun damage and age spots. Each treatment is customised based on your skin type, pigmentation depth, sensitivities and goals.
| Treatment | Description | Pricing & Downtime Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Skin Needling / Microneedling | Creates controlled micro‑injuries to stimulate collagen and help break pigment clusters. Assists pigment suppression over time. | From around $149 (face only). Moderate redness for 24‑48 hours; minimal peeling. |
| Chemical Peels (Pigment / Medium Depth) | Medical-grade peels (AHA, BHA, pigment-targeted blends) exfoliate outer layers and reduce visible spots. | From $99+. Mild flaking for 2–5 days recommended. |
| IPL / Photorejuvenation | Intense Pulsed Light targets brown and red pigment (sun spots, freckles, vascular features) in selected skin areas. | From $99 (quoted per session). Minimal downtime, usually transient redness. |
| CO₂ / Fractional Laser Resurfacing | Ablative laser resurfacing removes damaged epidermis and treats deeper pigment and texture issues. | From $499+. Moderate downtime (3–7 days of peeling/redness). |
| Carbon Laser Facial / Carbon Peel | A “laser‑carbon” treatment that helps target pigment, clear congestion and brighten skin tone. | Often from $99. Minimal downtime. |
| Combination Treatments | Bundled protocols combining e.g. needling + IPL, peel + laser or layered pigment therapy. | Designed to balance efficacy and downtime |
