Sun-Damaged Skin Is No Joke!

October 8, 2012 by Atagi Plastic Surgery & Skin Aesthetics

We’ve heard it time and again:  Protect your skin from the sun’s damaging rays if you want to keep it looking younger longer.  For those of us who may have needed a little extra convincing, the New England Journal of Medicine recently released this image of a 69-year-old truck driver.  Due to his profession behind the wheel, just one side of this man’s face received decades of intense sun exposure.  See for yourself:  the result is a stunning reminder of the damage the sun can do.

What do we recommend?  Tan is no longer “in.”  If possible, avoid the sun during mid-day, when the UV rays can do the most damage.  When you are in the sun, thoroughly cover your skin with a professional-grade sunblock with a minimum SPF of 30.  Wide-brimmed hats can be quite fashionable, and will protect the delicate skin of your face.  If you still believe that a deep tan looks healthy and great today, consider how your skin will look as you age.  Years of prematurely aged skin, are just not worth a few months of looking bronze today.

If you’ve already experienced the effects of sun damage to your skin, Atagi Plastic Surgery & Atagi Skin Aesthetics can dramatically help to improve your look.  Treatments such as our expert photofacials and chemical peels can reduce the visible signs of sun damage, including brown spots and wrinkles.  Of course, as always, back to basics:  protect your skin from the sun whenever possible, and love the skin you’re in.
