Discover what cosmetic procedures can address any pigmentation, including age spots & sun damage

Do you notice visible signs of aging on your face or body? According to Skincancer.org, 90% of visible aging is caused by sun damage, and regular sunscreen use can reduce that aging.

Long term and repeated exposure to sunlight, especially ultraviolet light, can cause a variety of cosmetic and medical problems related to the skin, commonly referred to as sun damage. Sun damage can affect any area of the skin as a result of excessive exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun. Sun damage most commonly occurs on the face, hands and arms, and may lead to sun spots, age spots, rough skin and wrinkles.

The best treatment against sun damage is preventing it from occurring in the first place. It is important to wear sunscreen on a daily basis and avoid excessive exposure to the sun, especially during mid-day hours when the sun is strongest. Additional ways to prevent sun damage include:

  • Always wear sun screen with an SPF of at least 30
  • Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours (1 application will not last all day)
  • Wear a hat in the sun
  • Wear long sleeves and long pants
  • Avoid tanning beds and salons
