Sun Damage

Understanding the concern

Sun exposure can affect the skin in several visible ways.

Visible effects of sun exposure may appear as isolated spots, a broader change in color, a change in surface texture, or more than one of these together.

Light-based services, peels, microneedling, and skin care have different roles within that picture. The most useful place to begin is the specific feature, not the name of a device you may have heard about.

Identify the change that stands out most: a spot, uneven color, or surface texture.

The most noticeable change is the best place to start.

Describe whether an isolated spot, a broader color change, or a rougher surface is most visible. If you see more than one, include that too.
