Thinking About Sun Damage Treatment ?

All too often, the effects of aging on your skin are exacerbated by sun damage. Gravity takes its toll during the aging process, to be sure; but if your skin is discolored, excessively dry, has a leathery appearance, or marked by deep wrinkles, you have damaged your skin from overexposure to the sun.

What you've done to your skin is called photoaging, and there are a number of treatments we can recommend that can greatly reduce the visible signs.

• Laser resurfacing – Removes damaged skin and softens wrinkles.
• Tretinoin – Cream that can be applied directly to the skin, giving it a smoother feel and look and can even out skin tone.
• Microdermabrasion – This process scrapes away the top layers of skin, revealing the new, fresh skin underneath.
• Chemical peel – Using a chemical compound of varying strength, the top layer of skin is removed, causing your skin to regenerate a healthier top layer.
• Injections – With collagen injections, the collagen your body has lost during the photoaging process is replaced with bovine collagen. BOTOX Cosmetic injections immobilize the muscles that when normally tensed are the source of your wrinkles and laugh lines.
