Ultra violet rays:

Sun burn

Whereas Sun rays are very important for keeping the skin healthy, sun burn is extremely harmful to the skin. As you already know, sun is a big bowl of fire from which many kinds of rays emanate. We can see the rays of light but we cannot see infra red and ultra violet rays are hot and bring warmth to the body. Ultra violet rays provide Vitamin ‘D; to the body that is essential for our health. But the skin gets burnt due to excess of ultra violet rays. Melanin’s, underneath the skin, prevent the skin from getting burnt, that is why the blondes or dark complexioned people get less sun burns than the fair complexioned people. This is because the darker the skin, more the quantity of melanin’s in the body. Fair complexioned people are adversely Skin affected by sun rays. The ill effects of sun rays are maximum on children between twenty five to thirty five years of age. Ultra violet rays destroy the melanins in the body and the skin gets darkened. The minute rays cut the skin and crack it. It results in drying of the skin. As a result, the skin swells and rashes appear on it. Then fresh melanin comes out and the skin gets blackened.

Does sun affect the skin?

-Dark spots (liver spots, sun damage), sagging skin, fine lines & wrinkles, premature aging

1. Liver spots are changes in skin color associated with older skin. The increased pigmentation may be brought on by aging, exposure to sun or other forms of ultraviolet light, or other unknown causes.

2. So called Liver spots are extremely common after the age of 40. They occur most often on the backs of the hands, on the forearms, shoulder, face, and forehead, areas of highest sun exposure.

3. They are harmless and painless, but they may affect the cosmetic appearance. Occasionally, liver spots may obscure the diagnosis of skin cancers.

How does sun damage cause aging?

1. The sun's rays, which are called ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B rays (UVA and UVB rays) damage your skin. This leads to early wrinkles, skin cancer and other skin problems. Being in the sun often over time, even if you don't burn, can lead to skin cancer. A tan is the body's desperate attempt to protect itself from the sun's harmful rays.

2. Sun exposure causes most of the skin changes that we think of as a normal part of aging. Over time, the sun's ultraviolet (UV) light damages the fibers in the skin called elastin. When these fibers breakdown, the skin begins to sag, stretch, and lose its ability to go back into place after stretching. The skin also bruises and tears more easily—taking longer to heal. So, while sun damage to the skin may not be apparent when you're young, it will definitely show later in life.

What procedures/treatments do you plan on featuring?

1. Pixel laser resurfacing

-The Pixel Laser Surfacing procedure uses an Erbium Yag laser in resurfacing the skin. This treatment is state of the art, and is effective without the use of a CO2 laser and with limited discomfort and downtime.

-The Pixel laser technology tightens up skin on the neck, eyelids and works with overall skin quality by manipulating with the less than tight collagen fibers in the skin, while transitioning new cells. It indicates improvement in tone and texture of the skin, by reducing and almost removing discoloration due to age, UV ray exposure, while decreasing visible pore size, hyperpigmentation, and improving acne scars.

-The Pixel allows about 65% of the lasered skin to remain "as is" and untreated around the Pixel therapy treated areas. The untouched skin then acts as a reservoir for the promotion of rapid healing to the newly lasered skin, reducing the downtime significantly. Skin resurfacing occurs as the laser passes over the affected skin to remove damaged outer layers and, through heat, stimulates the production of collagen and new skin cells in the underlying layers.

The Pixel technology allows for a smoother, tighter, and more improved skin texture after 3 – 5 treatments. The skin will continue to show improvement over the next 6-8 months. The technology has demonstrated a triggering of biological responses that may lead to collagen remodeling; responsible for the smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles, improvement of laxity and discoloration.

2. Advanced Fluorescent Technology (photofacials)

-Often referred to as “The Gold Standard” for photorejuvenation, IPL is a breakthrough, age defying procedure that treats skin damage safely, effectively and non-invasively and consists of a series of gentle pulsed light treatments intended to improve the appearance of sun damaged and aged skin, as well as reduce redness and flushing; resulting in a more youthful appearing skin.

-Photorejuvenation uses no chemicals, has no recovery time, and does not disrupt the skin surface.

-IPL and the next generation called Advanced Fluorescence Technology (AFT™*) has received international recognition and media attention from programs such as “Good Morning America,” and magazines such as Vogue, Allure, Good Housekeeping and Harper.
