The Science Behind Sun Damage
There’s no doubt you’ve heard the warnings about sun exposure and sun damage. The trouble is, we don’t always follow the “rules.” Sun damage can cause hyperpigmentation or brown “age spots”. It thins the skin and lengthens collagen and elastin fibers which result in folds, wrinkles and fine lines. The sun can also cause angiomas or an ongoing “flushed” look, due to weakened blood vessels. The face, hands, chest and neck are especially susceptible to showing sun damage earlier than other areas of the body.

Fast Facts
To prevent sun damage avoid prolonged sun exposure, wear a hat and regularly apply a physical or chemical sunscreen of SPF 50 that is proven to protect against UVA/UVB rays.
It’s important to have a professional look at new moles or any existing area of your skin that has changed.
You don’t have to sunbathe to get sun damage. You can get sun damage just by walking to the store, sitting by a window and especially driving. Apply sunscreen every morning before you leave the house, and don’t forget to reapply throughout the day.
Real life patient stories
“When I was young, we used baby oil instead of sunblock. We just didn’t know better. The damage I did then, showed up on my face, chest and hands years later. Dr. Kerry prescribed a series of Halo Pro and Forever Young BBL treatments to help reduce the hyperpigmentation, strengthen and renew my skin and improve its health.”
