(Washington, DC)-DC dermatologists Dr. Dale Isaacson and Dr. Marilyn Berzin note a significant increase in the number of younger patients opting for cosmetic treatments to battle sun damage. “Previously the majority of patients dealing with the ravages of the sun were in their 50’s and 60’s, but now we’re seeing just as many people in their 30’s and 40’s,” says Dr. Isaacson. Adds Dr. Berzin, “The one comment we hear over and over again is ‘if only my mother knew about sunscreen when I was younger’,”
Studies show that most people accumulate somewhere between 50% to 80% of their lifetime sun exposure by the time they’re 20. For years, people weren’t taking the proper precautions. They would go out without sunscreen, ball caps and other sensible approaches to the harmful UV rays of the sun. While sun burns fade, the repercussions are showing up now.
The most common types of sun damage to the skin are:
- Freckles
- Sun and age spots
- Fine lines and deeper wrinkles
- Thicker skin texture
SUNDAZE: Stopping aging before it starts
Drs. Berzin and Isaacson say here are a number of factors why younger people are flocking to treatments for sun damage. For one, the public is more aware of the long-term effects of the sun. But technology has also had an impact, with more state-of-the-art treatments available to combat the problems.
Naturally, the doctors first check for skin cancer and other dangerous lesions. Once that’s ruled out, there are several state-of-the-art treatments available to treat the effects of the sun.
Syneron ReFirme ™ Skin Tightening
This non-invasive technology combines radio frequencies and light energies which together naturally stimulates collagen production to tighten skin and reduce wrinkles caused by sun damage and aging. Noted television host Rachel Ray recently demonstrated this state-of-the-art technology on her nationally syndicated talk show
e-light
This non-invasive technology combines radio frequencies and intense pulse light to target darkened spots, blood vessels, freckles and other problems caused by skin damage.
Fraxel
Fraxel Laser Treatment improves the appearance of your skin by treating only a small area at a time with thousands of tiny microscopic laser spots. Skin becomes smoother and fresher looking, while lines, wrinkling and uneven brown spots are eliminated.
Perlane and Restylane
These are FDA approved natural fillers that add fullness and shape to the wrinkles and folds in the skin.
Botox
This popular non-surgical injection temporarily reduces and eliminates wrinkles, forehead creases and other lines in the face and lessens the chance of the problems occurring permanently.
