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.
