About your concern
Understanding sun damage
Sun damage describes changes caused by exposure to ultraviolet light over time. It can show as uneven pigmentation, roughness, fine lines and a loss of firmness, particularly on frequently exposed areas.
The face, neck, chest and hands often receive regular exposure through everyday life as well as holidays. Changes can build gradually, so they may become noticeable years after the exposure that contributed to them.
Our treatments focus on cosmetic changes in skin quality and appearance. A new, changing, bleeding or non-healing mark should be checked medically before cosmetic treatment is considered.
Recommendations
Recommended treatments for sun damage
Microneedling
Microneedling may help improve fine lines and uneven texture associated with sun-exposed skin. The focus is on skin renewal; it does not remove suspicious lesions or replace medical assessment of a changing mark.
LuminFusion
LuminFusion combines professional exfoliation, NanoInfusion and LED. It may be considered for suitable surface dullness and uneven-looking tone, with the protocol selected around your skin.
Your questions
Sun damage FAQs
Can sun damage appear years after sun exposure?
Yes. Its effects can build over time, and visible changes may become more apparent as the skin ages. Everyday exposure can contribute as well as episodes of sunburn.
Is every dark patch caused by sun damage?
No. Pigmentation can have several causes, including inflammation and hormonal influences. The cause should be identified before assuming a brightening or resurfacing treatment will help.
Can cosmetic treatments reverse all sun damage?
No. They may improve selected visible changes, but they do not erase all effects of ultraviolet exposure. Ongoing protection remains important, even when the skin looks clearer or smoother.
Can I improve sun damage on my hands and chest?
Skin-quality treatments may be considered for these areas as well as the face. Our ageing hands and décolletage pages explain the relevant options.
