Sun damage Treatments

90% of visible signs of aging are due to sun damage.

Sun damage, skin disorders, aging and even heredity can all contribute to skin irregularities on the face and elsewhere on the body.


These include textural irregularities like wrinkles and acne scars, pigmentation changes like freckles, sunspots or visible blood vessels.


In addition, skin may lose tone, feel less firm and lose the healthy glow that is evident in younger skin. The skin utilizes sunlight to help us create Vitamin D, which is crucial for healthy bones, immunity, and serotonin production.

But the risk of overexposure to ultraviolet rays can cause severe damage to the skin. And this doesn't just stop at your typical sunburn. Dullness, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation are all signs of sun damage too.
