Sun Damaged Skin

Sun Damaged Skin

From sunburns to sun spots, there are many ways the sun can cause damage to a person’s skin. As a reaction to the sun’s rays, the skin may produce additional, sometimes uneven, pigment (i.e., melanin), stretch blood vessels in a way that reddens the skin’s appearance, create liver spots or age spots and, over enough time, even stretch the skin’s tissues in a way that removes the skin’s flexibility. All of these conditions are treatable by Dr. Gurgen. As an experienced dermatologist, Dr. Gurgen is familiar with the many ways the sun can alter the skin and its appearance, and he offers reliable methods for caring for and correcting these issues.
