Look Younger And Reverse The Signs of Sun-Damaged-Related Aging With Skin Tightening in Sugar Land, TX, And Other Non-Invasive Treatments.
Especially if you’re an 80s or 90s kid, you grew up slathering on copious amounts of baby oil and applying lemon juice to your hair in hopes of spending hours in the sun to get a sun-kissed glow and naturally bleached hair.
Turn the hands on the clock forward several decades, and you might notice your skin has taken a toll from all those sunny days basking in the backyard.

Give your skin the love it needs, and turn the tables on sun damage with non-invasive skincare treatments at Dr. Shel Wellness and Aesthetic Center.
Crafting Your Plan
The first step to improve your skin is to see our specialist. You can then receive a customized treatment plan to target your skin troubles.
You’ll undergo a thorough analysis, consisting of our practitioner evaluating your skin and understanding both the extent of the damage and the problematic areas.
During this stage, we recommend VISIA Skin Analysis — a trailblazing diagnostic tool that views under the skin’s surface. Because, believe it or not, there could be a whole new world of damage below the superficial layer of skin you see.
This tool also allows us to pull information from a database to compare your skin to those in the same age bracket and skin type.
And we can use this program to show you the results of various treatments or display a simulation of how the aging process will affect you decades from now.
Treating the Problem
The next phase is the treatment. The right option for you will depend on your skin issues and goals.
-
IPL Therapy
One common procedure we recommend is intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy. We use it on patients who suffer from conditions caused by the sun or worsened by it, including:
-
- Sun/liver spots
- Freckles
- Rosacea
- Spider veins
- Varicose veins
IPL uses light energy that the body converts to heat by the pigment cells or veins. Although you don’t feel it, this energy damages the cells or vessels. Your body then swoops in with its natural defenses and ability to clear the damaged cells. As a result, you’ll see less unwanted sun damage.
What really ices this cake is that the treatment lasts less than an hour per session (usually 30 to 45 minutes), and you won’t have any downtime. Plus, it causes little discomfort or side effects.
During the treatment, you may feel a slight pinch or the sensation of a snapping rubber band. Afterward, you may have some discomfort, like tingling, burning, or sensitivity, but it’ll stop with time.
Did we mention you’ll notice results immediately after this procedure? And the progress only improves with time!

Cutera Limelight Photofacial
Showcase your best face in the limelight, especially after the Cutera Limelight Photofacial — a non-laser treatment for sun damage.
It uses intense pulsed light to target skin pigmentation or other flaws and eliminate them. The next step is for your body to clear away the damage and make way for the final result—less noticeable sun-damaged skin.
We can use it on all the following:
- Freckles
- Age spots
- Birthmarks
- Acne scars
- Small, noticeable veins
Typically, the treatment lasts only 30 minutes per session, with most patients only needing one or two.
This treatment allows us to maximize your results because we can adjust the treatment based on the severity of your condition and your skin tone.
Moreover, with a Cutera Limelight Photofacial, you’ll have no downtime, just less flawed skin.

Skin Tightening
The sun does more damage to your skin besides causing age spots, new freckles, and other changes to your pigment, like rosacea. That’s only the damage you can see.
Underneath the surface, the sun is wreaking havoc and wrecking your collagen and elastin fibers, which are necessary for your skin’s elasticity and firmness. As this damage continues, it ends up harming the skin’s structure. Unfortunately, that spells out sagging skin for you.
It doesn’t help that the sun thins and dehydrates your skin and causes inflammation and free-radical damage. All of this puts your skin’s aging process into hyperdrive and leaves you with a droopy facial appearance.
Some of the treatments for skin tightening in Sugar Land, TX, we offer include:
- Fotona Eyelase
- Exilis Ultra
- Fotona 4D Laser Face Lift
- Fotona TightLase Laser Skin Tightening
- Ultherapy Skin Tightening
Fotona Eyelase can reverse under-eye bags and wrinkles around the eyes with a unique, dual-laser treatment that stimulates collagen production.
Exilis ULTRA helps to decrease cellulite, tighten skin, and contour your body through radiofrequency and ultrasound waves.
Fotona 4D Laser Face Lift strengthens and contracts current collagen fibers and stimulates new collagen production to tighten, plump, and lift the skin or reduce wrinkles’ appearance.
Fotona TightLase Laser Skin Tightening uses two wavelengths to sculpt various body parts and tighten the skin.
Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to tighten and lift the skin.
