How To Treat Sun Damage

Much damage is done to the skin from prolonged exposure to UV radiation. Sun freckles (also known as liver spots), irregular pigmentation and dilated blood vessels (often referred to as “broken” blood vessels) are some examples. Other examples of sun damage include fine lines and laxity from the loss of elastic fibers and healthy collagen.

Your best weapon in the treatment of sun damage is prevention. Through good sun protection you can protect your skin from all the signs of sun damage. However, there’s also a variety of ways to reverse sun damage.

Topical treatments such as vitamin A derivatives, alpha hydroxy acids, vitamin C preparations, plant and botanical derivatives, antioxidants, growth factors and peptides are all very effective.

Chemical peels and microdermabrasions are also options worth looking into, as well as laser surgery and radiofrequency devices which help correct sun freckles, dilated blood vessels and wrinkles.

Botox, collagen, hyaluronic acid and fat injections can help with certain lines of expression and loss of facial fullness.
