Sun damage refers to the harmful effects caused by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. Over time, UV radiation can lead to various skin issues, including sunburn, premature aging (such as wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots), and an increased risk of skin cancer. Family Health Care & Wellness Center offers ADVATx® yellow + infrared laser treatments, which utilize advanced laser technology to target and reduce sun-damaged skin. This treatment helps to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and pigmentation caused by sun exposure, promoting healthier and more youthful-looking skin.
What are the signs of sun damage?
Signs of sun damage manifest in various ways on the skin, indicating prolonged exposure to UV radiation. Common signs include:
- Sunburn: Redness, pain, and sometimes blistering of the skin after excessive sun exposure.
- Hyperpigmentation: Dark spots or patches on the skin, often referred to as age spots or sunspots.
- Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Premature aging signs such as deep wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.
- Uneven Skin Tone: Skin discoloration and uneven pigmentation.
- Dryness and Rough Texture: Skin may feel dry, rough, or leathery, especially in sun-exposed areas.
- Actinic Keratosis: Rough, scaly patches on the skin, potentially precancerous.
These signs not only affect the skin’s appearance but also indicate potential long-term damage that can increase the risk of skin cancer.
Regular sun protection and skincare are essential in preventing and managing sun damage.
How does FHCWC treat sun damage?
FHCWC offers ADVATx® treatments to effectively address sun damage and improve the overall health and appearance of the skin. ADVATx® utilizes a combination of yellow and infrared laser technology to target and reduce pigmentation irregularities, wrinkles, and other signs of sun damage. The yellow wavelength specifically targets melanin (pigment) in sun spots and age spots, while the infrared wavelength penetrates deeper layers to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. This dual-action approach helps to restore a more even skin tone, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance skin elasticity, resulting in a rejuvenated and youthful appearance.
