In the Sun Too Long? Try Microdermabrasion

Summer is almost here and most of us will get our share of sunshine, tanning and sunburn too. What can we do for our skin that has been exposed to excessive sunshine over the years?

There are a wide variety of cosmetic dermatology treatments available today, for sun damage. Because sun damage involves damage to the skin’s natural collagen, collagen injections can be used to treat wrinkles and lines caused by to much exposure to the sun. Chemical peels and various abrasive procedures are another option for sun damage treatment.

Microdermabrasion,  a procedure that exfoliates the outer layers of the skin with a spray of fine crystals, can also be used to stimulate new skin growth. There are also a variety of laser and light techniques available to treat sun-damaged skin. Proper exercise and weight is also important to maintaining good all around skin conditions as well as the intake regularly of certain vitamins and minerals.
