Questions About Sun Damage and Available Treatments in Tampa Florida
What is Sun Damage?
Sun Damage, also identified as photo damage, refers to how the sun alters the look and feel of the skin. Sun Damage is a form of extrinsic aging, which is early aging that is caused by your surroundings. Extrinsic aging is collective, meaning that without protection the effects of it will exacerbate with repeated, unprotected contact with the sun.
The effects of sun damage include but are not limited to hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles at an early age, and skin cancer. Elastin is one of the main structural proteins in our skin and throughout our body. Elastin provides our skin and other organs with their 'elasticity', the ability to stretch and recoil, thus keeping their shape. The sun saps the skin's elasticity. As we age we subject our skin to the sun's damaging rays. This process of sun damage injures our skin's elastin fibers, and over time healthy elastin fibers are replaced with damaged, less effective elastin, leaving our skin with a droopy look.
