Sun Damage

What Is Sun Damage?

Ultraviolet exposure can cause uneven pigment, visible vessels, roughness, fine lines, collagen loss, and precancerous actinic keratoses.

How Is It Evaluated?

Assessment separates cosmetic photodamage from lesions that may need medical evaluation, biopsy, or specialist referral before aesthetic treatment.

What Treatment Options Are Available?

IPL, chemical peels, resurfacing, microneedling, skincare, and daily broad-spectrum sunscreen may be combined based on your skin and goals.

Can sun damage be reversed?

Visible discoloration and texture can often be improved, but treatment cannot erase all cellular damage. Ongoing sun protection is essential, and suspicious lesions require medical assessment.
