Reversing the Clock: Sun Damage Treatments at Irvine Dermatology
The harm to the skin brought on by extended exposure to the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation is referred to as sun damage, also known as photoaging. Although basking in the sun can be nice, it can eventually harm the skin. Sun damage can appear as wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, freckles, and an uneven skin tone, among other things. Maintaining healthy, youthful skin requires an understanding of the reasons and suitable treatment.
Causes of Sun Damage
UV Radiation: The sun’s UV radiation exposure is the main factor in sun damage. Skin drooping and wrinkles may result from the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers by this radiation.
Cumulative Exposure: Sun damage is cumulative, which means that it develops over time. Without adequate protection, repeated exposure ups the risk of harm.
Sunburns: Severe sunburns, particularly those that occur in childhood or adolescence, can greatly increase the risk of solar damage in later life.
Lack of Protection: Your skin is more susceptible to UV damage if you don’t utilize sunscreen, protective clothing, and accessories like hats and sunglasses.

Treating sun damage requires a comprehensive approach that focuses on both prevention and correction. One effective way to address sun damage is by seeking professional dermatological care, and Irvine Dermatology is here to help.
