What Causes Sun Damage?
Sun damage is caused by repeated exposure to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight and tanning beds. UVA rays penetrate more deeply and contribute to collagen breakdown, wrinkles, and premature aging, while UVB rays mainly affect the skin’s surface and are a major cause of sunburn.
Over time, this exposure can damage skin cells, weaken collagen and elastin, stimulate excess melanin, and reduce the skin’s ability to retain moisture. This may lead to:
- Dark spots and uneven pigmentation
- Fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness
- Dryness, rough texture, and dullness
- Redness and visible blood vessels
- Precancerous growths and an increased risk of skin cancer
Sun damage builds gradually and can occur even without a noticeable sunburn. Regular outdoor exposure without protection and indoor tanning both contribute to long-term photoaging.
How to Treat Sun Damage?
Sun damage cannot always be completely reversed, but consistent professional treatments can help soften dark spots, rough texture, dryness, dullness, and fine lines. At Guidance to Glow in Glendale, we create a customized treatment plan based on your skin tone, sensitivity, and level of visible damage.
Helpful treatments may include:
- Gentle chemical peels to encourage skin renewal and improve uneven pigmentation
- Microdermabrasion to smooth rough texture and remove dull surface buildup
- Brightening facials to improve radiance and uneven skin tone
- Enzyme exfoliation to gently refresh sun-damaged skin
- Hydrating facials and masks to replenish moisture and support the skin barrier
- LED red light therapy to support a healthier, more refreshed-looking complexion
- Personalized home-care guidance to maintain results and prevent further damage
Professional treatments can reduce some visible signs of sun damage, including uneven tone and roughness, but ongoing sun protection is essential for preserving results. Any new, changing, bleeding, crusting, or unusual spot should be examined by a dermatologist or medical professional before receiving cosmetic treatment.
