Remember those years when you spent hours working on your tan? If you’re my age you remember using baby oil and iodine with an SPF of 0. Well eventually years later it becomes time to pay the piper and we spend the rest of our lives trying to get rid of sun damage that shows up from those early days of sun exposure. Sunlight has a profound effect on the skin causing premature skin aging, sun spots, age spots, skin cancer, and a host of skin changes.
Exposure to ultraviolet light, UVA or UVB, from sunlight accounts for 90% of the symptoms of premature skin aging. Sun Damage can cause age spots, rough skin texture, mottled pigment, wrinkling and sagging from the loss of collagen, and visible blood vessels on the face can all usually be blamed on the sun. Besides preventing further sun damage with the use of good sunscreens, there are a variety of options available today to help repair and restore any skin on your body to its pre-sun damaged state. Dr. Elliott and the staff of Skinspirations can help you choose the treatments and professional skin care products that will help make you look like you never had all that fun in the sun.
