Sun Damage

The sun's rays can cause immediate damage, like sunburns, and long-term effects, such as photoaging, which can lead to skin cancer.

Photoaging occurs when UV light damages skin at a cellular level, affecting collagen and elastin. This can result in wrinkles, pigmentation changes, and loss of skin elasticity. Over time, these signs become visible.

While photoaging can't be completely undone, treatments like lasers, chemical peels, and topical medications can help. Prevention through broad-spectrum sunscreen is key. See a dermatologist for signs of significant sun damage or skin cancer concerns.
