Sun damage is caused by rays emitted from the sun. Sun damage can appear as anything from sunburn to broken capillaries or even age spots and wrinkles. It increases the risk of skin aging and skin cancer. Chronic sun exposure damages the DNA of the skin cells, which can lead to skin cancer.
As mentioned above, sun damage is caused by UV rays and visible light emitted from the sun. However, these rays can also be emitted artificially, for example in tanning beds.
Sun protection, including sun avoidance, use of sunscreens and protective clothing, is the first line of defence. We recommend the regular use of broad-spectrum sunscreens, which provide protection against UVA, UVB radiation and visible light with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or greater. None the less, here at Skin Inspection we use a variety of treatments for sun damage, all of which are entirely dependent on the symptoms that the patient has.
