Causes
Sun damage to the skin is primarily caused by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. UV radiation consists of UVA and UVB rays, both of which can penetrate the skin and cause damage at the cellular level. When the skin is exposed to excessive UV radiation, it can lead to a range of adverse effects, including premature aging. Certain factors can increase your risk of sun damage, including:
- Excessive Sun Exposure
- Unprotected Skin
- Tanning Beds
- Geographic Location
- Skin Type

Treatments
One of the primary treatments for sun damage is medical-grade skincare products with active ingredients that simultaneously combat existing and protect against further damage.
In-office procedures such as chemical peels and laser therapy can further address sun damage – chemical peels use exfoliating agents to remove damaged outer layers of the skin, while laser therapy can target sun spots, uneven pigmentation, and fine lines, promoting collagen remodeling and skin rejuvenation. These treatments can be tailored to individual needs and may require multiple sessions for optimal results.
