Sun exposure causes ageing of the skin due to both UVA and UVB rays. This happens predominantly in exposed areas such as the face, chest and the arms. The appearance consists of fine wrinkles, pigmented lesions such as freckles, patchy hyper pigmentation. Sun damaged skin also looses the tone and elasticity resulting in areas of purpura caused by blood vessel weakness. Avoiding Sun beds, using sun protection factors every day will reduce the risk of sun damage. Topical vitamin C can act as a scavenger for the free oxide radicals which are liberated by the skin secondary to sun exposure. Skin peels and Microdermbarasion can reverse damage caused by sun. Restylane vital is proven to reduce visible signs of sun damage over the face, back of the hands and decollete area. |
