Sun Damage Repair
We all love the sun, but nothing is harder on your skin than constant sun exposure. Sooner or later, your skin is going to show the signs of sun damage, including wrinkles, laxity, and pigmentation issues. Devonshire Dermatology offers a number of sun damage treatments which can improve the look and health of your skin.
While sun exposure may offer a short-term boost to your complexion and a deeper skin colour, the long-lasting effects of sun damage are undesirable. Ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun actually damages the elastin fibres in your skin. These fibres are what make your skin springy, youthful, and resilient. When the fibres break down, your skin may become thinner, duller, and less flexible.
You might start to notice wrinkles, loose skin, and even discoloration. Sun damage can also result in an increased frequency of dysplastic moles and precancer such as actinic keratoses, both of which can cause skin cancer.
At Devonshire Dermatology, we can address your cosmetic concerns and assess your sun damaged skin for cancerous and precancerous lesions. Our dermatologists can examine your skin for common signs of sun damage evaluating parameters such as wrinkles, UV damage, skin texture, sun spots, pores, and porphyrins in order to recommend individualised, effective treatment options.
