Sun Damage, Age Spots, And Wrinkle Treatment

Though sunlight provides a healthy dose of Vitamin D and aids in the production of serotonin, ultraviolet rays pose a threat to the health of your skin and aging with grace. Consistent overexposure may lead to premature aging, skin cancers, and spots that cause cosmetic concern.

Galt Dermatology offers a variety of treatments for sun-damaged and aging skin. During your exam and consultation, your physician will guide you through which treatment options will best suit your concerns, and what the process will look like.

While a natural result of the aging process, wrinkles may be developed prematurely with overexposure to ultraviolet light. Other contributing factors may include excessive smoking, genetics, and repeated facial expression.

Wrinkled skin is commonly treated with topical retinoids, Botox®, Restylane®, Juvederm®, and other injectables to add volume back to the skin. Although not a permanent solution, injectable treatments are effective when they are treated with, and maintained by your physician.

The best treatment for anti-aging and sun damage is to prevent the damage before it occurs. Avoid excessive exposure to the sun, and wear a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30, or above whenever possible.
