Sun Damage & Photoaging

Sun damage (photoaging) is responsible for up to 90% of visible skin ageing. UV-induced damage causes wrinkles, dark spots, rough texture, and loss of elasticity. Professional treatments can significantly reverse photoaging and restore skin health.

What Causes Photoaging?

UVA rays penetrate deep into the dermis, breaking down collagen and elastin fibres. UVB rays damage the epidermis, causing DNA mutations and triggering excess melanin production. Cumulative UV exposure over decades results in the characteristic signs of photoaging: deep wrinkles, irregular pigmentation, rough texture, and loss of firmness.

Professional Treatment Protocol

Photoaging treatment requires a comprehensive approach: repair (retinol, growth factors, exosomes), protect (daily SPF 50), resurface (chemical peels, microneedling), and depigment (vitamin C, tranexamic acid). Multiple treatment modalities deliver the best results for sun-damaged skin.
