Sun Damage & Hyperpigmentation

Sun damage occurs when prolonged exposure to UV rays accelerates the breakdown of collagen and damages skin cells. Over time, this leads to the formation of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and an uneven skin tone. Hyperpigmentation, such as sun spots, age spots, and freckles, often appears on areas most exposed to the sun like the face, shoulders, and hands. At our clinic, we offer targeted treatments to address these pigmentation concerns, helping restore a clearer, more even complexion.

Causes of Sun Damage & Hyperpigmentation

  • Prolonged Sun Exposure - Extended exposure to UV rays without protection accelerates pigmentation
  • Tanning - Artificial tanning or tanning beds increase skin pigmentation
  • Skin Aging - With age, skin becomes more susceptible to pigmentation and sunspots
  • Lack of Sun Protection - Insufficient use of sunscreen leads to skin damage and pigmentation

FAQs

1. What is the difference between sunspots and freckles?

Sunspots are larger, darker patches of pigmentation that develop due to prolonged sun exposure. Freckles, on the other hand, are smaller, lighter spots often hereditary but aggravated by sun exposure.

2. Can sun damage be reversed?

While some sun damage is permanent, many treatments can significantly reduce its appearance, such as laser therapies, chemical peels, and topical treatments.

3. How can I prevent further sun damage?

Applying sunscreen regularly, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding excessive sun exposure can help protect your skin from further damage.

4. Are treatments for hyperpigmentation safe?

Yes, treatments like laser therapy and chemical peels are safe when performed by skilled professionals and tailored to your skin type.
