Aging and Sun Damaged Skin Treatment
Aging and Sun Damaged Skin Treatment in Miami, FL
What Is Aging and Sun Damaged Skin?
While many associate a suntan with health and an active lifestyle, the truth is sun exposure causes irreversible skin damage that accelerates aging. Ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun penetrates skin cells and alters their DNA, leading to premature signs of aging and sun damaged skin. In fact, up to 90% of visible aging signs are linked to sun exposure.
Sun damage and aging work hand in hand to reduce your skin’s elasticity by breaking down collagen, which gives skin its youthful shape and fullness. This results in wrinkles, sagging skin, age spots, freckles, and uneven skin tone commonly seen on the face, neck, chest, and hands.
What Causes Aging and Sun Damage?
The primary cause is prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Additional factors include:
-
Time spent outdoors without protection
-
Use of tanning beds
-
Cumulative sun exposure over many years
Together, sun damage and natural aging decrease collagen and elastin in your skin, leading to lines around your mouth and eyes, rough texture, and discoloration.
