SUN DAMAGE TREATMENT LEEDS & CHESHIRE

Sun-damaged skin is a common concern that affects people of all ages, often manifesting as premature ageing signs. Exposure to the sun's harmful UV rays can cause a variety of skin issues, including fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation changes, and a general loss of skin elasticity.

CAUSES OF SKIN DAMAGE

UV Radiation: Prolonged and unprotected exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds is the primary cause of sun-damaged skin. UV radiation damages the collagen and elastin fibers, leading to the breakdown of the skin's structure.

Free Radicals: UV radiation triggers the production of free radicals, which are unstable molecules that damage skin cells and DNA, accelerating the ageing process.

EFFECTS OF SUN DAMAGE ON THE FACE

Sun-damaged skin can manifest in various ways on the face:

Wrinkles: Fine lines and wrinkles may appear, particularly around the eyes (crow's feet) and mouth.
Hyperpigmentation: Dark spots, freckles, and uneven skin tone are common signs of sun damage.
Loss of Elasticity: The skin may lose its natural firmness and elasticity, leading to sagging and the development of jowls.
Redness and Inflammation: Sunburn, redness, and visible blood vessels may occur due to UV exposure.
Texture Changes: Skin texture becomes uneven, with rough patches and a leathery appearance.

EARLY SIGNS OF SUN DAMAGE

Recognising the early signs of sun damage is crucial for early intervention and prevention of further harm. These signs may include:

Increased Sensitivity: Sun-damaged skin may become more sensitive and prone to irritation.
Fine Lines: Fine lines can appear around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
Uneven Skin Tone: The skin may develop uneven pigmentation, with darker or lighter patches.
Mild Sunspots: Small, discolored spots may emerge.
Dryness: Skin may become drier and rough to the touch.

TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR SUN DAMAGED SKIN

Our Leeds skin clinic offers several effective treatments for sun-damaged skin, including:

Chemical Peels: Chemical peels involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which exfoliates the damaged top layer. This encourages the growth of new, healthier skin and can improve texture, tone, and pigmentation. Also, check out the perfect peel and Obagi blue peel.

Medical-Grade Skincare: Our clinic provides a range of medical-grade skincare products, including serums, creams, and sunscreen, specifically designed to combat sun damage. These products contain potent ingredients like retinoids, antioxidants, and sunscreens to repair and protect the skin.

HydraFacial: HydraFacial is a non-invasive, multi-step treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates the skin. It can help with sun damage by removing dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and infusing the skin with nourishing serums to promote a healthy, radiant complexion.
