How does dermal filler help my sun-damaged skin?
Dermal fillers do 2 things to help with sun-damaged skin:
- Wrinkles. Dermal fillers help lift skin, erasing many lines and wrinkles caused by sun damage.
- Hydration. Dermal filler with hyaluronic acid promotes collagen production. It also holds 50x or more of its weight in water, drawing hydration to the skin where it has been injected.
What SPF level should my sunscreen have for the best protection against sun damage?
The best SPF levels for protection against sun exposure is SPF 30 and above. Very high protection is SPF 50 and above. SPF stands for sun protection factor. Contrary to what too many people think, it’s not a measure of how much time you can spend in the sun, as in “SPF 15 means I can spend 15x the amount of time in the sun.” That’s wrong, and it’s dangerous.
SPF numbers measure how much UV radiation is required to cause a sunburn. It’s more about the intensity of the UV radiation, not the time out in the sunshine. Therefore SPF 30 sunscreen provides more protection from UV radiation than SPF 15.
Always be aware of the strength of the sunlight. For example, UV radiation is stronger at midday than in the morning or the evening. The amount of sunscreen you use also affects its ability to protect, as does re-application during longer periods of sun exposure, or when the sunscreen is more apt to come off—such as when swimming or doing high levels of physical activity.
Can my sun-damaged skin issues be completely reversed?
If the sun damage has also damaged the DNA in your skin, unfortunately, the answer is no. This kind of sun damage is cancerous and must be excised. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, if you’ve had more than 5 sunburns and just 1 sunburn that blistered during childhood/adolescence, your chances of melanoma double for your mature years.
However, here’s the good news! Many of the non-cancerous signs of sun-damaged skin can be reduced—or eliminated—by treatments and procedures at Younique. With proper protection (sunscreen) and the regular use of medical-grade skincare products to support your results, you can put off the effects of sun damage for years to come.
