Aging Or Sun Damage

Details of Condition

The stresses of life take their toll and cause our skin to look older. Sun exposure, the major culprit of skin damage, only compounds this. The actual conditions that develop are often a complex of changes in the small blood vessels (called "telangiectasias") and the appearance of age spots or sun-induced freckles and blemishes of benign brown pigment.

As we age, our skin experiences various natural and environmental changes that are associated with the following:

• Broken blood vessels that cause the face to appear red
• Benign pigment discoloration, such as sun-induced freckles and age spots
• Sun damage in the form of thicker, rougher skin surface, loss of elasticity, and yellowish, uneven pigmentation
• Similar imperfections on non-facial areas like the neck, chest, arms or hands

Scope of the Problem

Few of us can retain the elasticity and complexion of young skin, especially when we expose our skin to the sun. Not only do we cause premature aging, but many physicians caution against sun exposure for more dire reasons, such as the avoidance of skin cancer.
