Sun Damage

Some safe exposure to the sun allows us to make vitamin D which is crucial for good health.

However, if you’ve spent a lot of time in the sun or have used sunbeds regularly, your skin may be sun-damaged.

The signs of sun damage include fine lines and wrinkles, dark patches of hyperpigmentation (known as age spots or sun spots), redness, rough and uneven skin texture, and thread veins (also referred to as spider veins or telangiectasia).

What causes sun damage?

The sun generates ultraviolet (UV) radiation that damages DNA in our skin cells. Sunbeds produce artificial UV radiation, which also causes skin damage at an accelerated rate. This leads to aesthetic skin concerns like the ones listed above; too much UV exposure is the main cause of skin cancer.

That’s why it’s so important to avoid sunbed use and to always protect yourself from the sun’s rays with daily use of SPF sunscreen while staying in the shade whenever possible.

At Oatlands Aesthetics, we offer a variety of treatments that can improve the appearance of sun damage. Before any procedure, we’ll carefully assess your skin during a personalised consultation to help us confirm what approach is best for you.
