While the sun is a source of warmth and energy, its rays can also be detrimental to your skin’s long-term health. Sun damage affects your skin’s appearance and also poses significant health risks. If you’re concerned about sunspots, fine lines, or any other signs of sun damage, our expert team is here to help you understand and treat these conditions.

What Causes Sun Damage?

Sun damage, scientifically known as photoaging, results from prolonged and repeated exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays. These rays can penetrate deep into your skin, altering the DNA in your skin cells, which accelerates the aging process and increases the risk of skin cancer.

Early detection of sun damage can significantly aid in managing and mitigating its effects. Be on the lookout for these telltale signs:

• The development of wrinkles and fine lines
• The appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation
• Uneven skin texture and tone
• Reduced skin elasticity
• Redness and spider veins

Preventing sun damage begins with diligent sun protection. Regular use of broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) and wearing sun-protective clothing are simple yet powerful strategies.

For those already experiencing sun damage, Wallenpaupack Medical offers a variety of treatments to rejuvenate and restore your skin’s health.
