You know that feeling when you catch yourself in good lighting in September and think when did that happen? The dark spots, the uneven tone, the dullness that wasn’t quite there in April.

The good news: fall is exactly when you fix it. And the treatments available at Simply Radiant are built precisely for this kind of correction.

What a Las Vegas Summer Actually Does to Your Skin
Sun damage isn’t just about getting a tan. Prolonged UV exposure increases melanin production in the skin, creating concentrated dark spots sometimes called sunspots or solar lentigines on the face, hands, arms, and chest. At the same time, UV exposure breaks down collagen and elastin, accelerating fine lines and dullness, and can trigger uneven redness in people prone to it.
The tricky part is that the full extent of the damage often isn’t visible until a few weeks after summer ends. Fall is when it surfaces and when it’s best treated, since lower sun exposure means safer, more effective results from light-based and laser treatments.
Treatments for Sun Damage Correction at Simply Radiant
BBL HERO Broadband Light Therapy BBL HERO (High Energy Rapid Output) is Simply Radiant’s most powerful tool for correcting sun damage. Using advanced broadband light technology, it targets excess melanin breaking down the pigmentation that causes dark spots and uneven tone while simultaneously addressing redness and triggering the skin’s natural collagen response.
What sets BBL HERO apart from older IPL treatments is speed and precision: it delivers results up to four times faster than traditional devices, using Sciton’s JOULE platform with integrated CoolComfort Technology for a comfortable experience throughout. It can treat the face, hands, arms, chest essentially anywhere sun damage has accumulated. Most patients benefit from three to six treatments spaced about four weeks apart.
Spot Removal (Sun & Age Spot Laser Therapy) For targeted dark spot removal, Simply Radiant offers dedicated BBL-based spot removal treatments starting at $800. The light energy homes in on the brown pigmentation in sunspots, converts to heat, and breaks down the excess melanin. Over the following days, the body naturally sheds those darker cells revealing clearer, more even-toned skin underneath. Social downtime is typically 5–7 days, as treated spots will temporarily darken before naturally shedding to reveal clearer skin.
Moxi Laser For a gentle entry point into laser correction particularly for early or moderate sun damage and overall tone improvement. Moxi is a non-ablative fractional laser that works with minimal downtime. It’s a strong option for clients who want meaningful improvement without committing to more intensive recovery. Full face treatments are available starting at $800.
Simply Glow Simply Glow is a combination treatment at Simply Radiant that pairs a MicroLaserPeel with BBL targeting both surface texture and deeper pigmentation in one session. Starting at $600 with approximately 1–2 days of downtime, it’s a good fit for clients who want to address sun damage and skin texture together without separating them into multiple appointments.
Chemical Peels For surface-level sun damage, dullness, and uneven texture, chemical peels strip away layers of dead and damaged skin to reveal fresher skin underneath. They work well as a standalone treatment for mild post-summer correction or as a complement to light-based treatments. Simply Radiant offers peels as part of their broader skin rejuvenation menu.
How to Choose the Right Treatment
The right starting point depends on what you’re actually dealing with:
- Concentrated dark spots (sunspots, age spots) → BBL HERO or Spot Removal
- Overall dullness, uneven tone, early sun damage → Moxi or Simply Glow
- Surface texture + pigmentation together → Simply Glow (combo treatment)
- Mild post-summer refresh, minimal downtime → Chemical peel or Moxi
In many cases, a consultation will reveal that a combination approach makes the most sense of treating pigmentation and texture at the same time gives you more complete results in fewer overall sessions.
Note: Many of our clients find that the most efficient path is a combination of these treatments. During your consultation, we can determine if a “stacking” approach treating surface texture and deep pigmentation in the same session is the most effective way to reach your goals.
