Sun damage occurs from sunlight exposure which produces ultraviolet light that destroys healthy skin cells. Overtime, the accumulative effects of repeated sun exposure can lead to premature aging, dark spots, wrinkles, and even worse, precancerous lesions also known as Actinic Keratoses, or skin cancers.
Sun damage can have lasting effects on your skin, causing premature aging, dark spots, wrinkles, and an increased risk of skin cancer. Prolonged exposure to harmful UV rays breaks down collagen and elastin, leading to loss of skin elasticity and firmness. At Natural Beauty Fifth Avenue, we offer advanced treatments to help repair and rejuvenate sun-damaged skin, restoring a youthful, radiant glow. From laser resurfacing to targeted skincare solutions, we’re here to help you combat the effects of sun damage and protect your skin for the future.
How Sun Damage Occurs
Sun damage occurs from sunlight exposure which produces ultraviolet light that destroys healthy skin cells. Over time, the accumulative effects of repeated sun exposure can lead to premature aging, dark spots, wrinkles, and even worse, precancerous lesions also known as Actinic Keratoses or skin cancers.
Prevention is key by avoiding the sun at all costs, applying SPF, broad spectrum with 30 or higher on the face, neck, ears, and other exposed areas of the skin, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and protective clothing, as well as avoiding tanning beds, which significantly increases your chance of developing melanoma, a serious form of skin cancer.
Sun Damage Treatment Options
You may wonder, since you already exposed yourself if there is anything you can do now. The answer is yes! We have several treatment options available, and we recommend you come in for a consultation.
It is also important to get your skin examinations at least yearly, especially if you notice any strange spots on your skin that are asymmetrical, have irregular borders, have varying colors (shades of tan, black, white, red), and are greater than 6 millimeters in diameter but can also be small in some cases.
