Reset RenewalUltraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is one of the leading causes of premature skin ageing and contributes to the development of fine lines, uneven pigmentation and loss of elasticity. UVA and UVB rays penetrate the skin’s layers—UVA accelerates collagen breakdown deep within the dermis, while UVB triggers surface inflammation and sunburn.
Over time, repeated sun exposure generates free radicals that damage cellular DNA, leading to photoaging and increasing the risk of skin cancer. Incorporating broad-spectrum sun protection and antioxidant-rich skincare is essential to defend against UV damage and maintain healthy, resilient skin.
Sun damage affects multiple layers of the skin, and combining treatments delivers optimal results. At Skin Renewal, our doctor-led approach ensures customised care for visible rejuvenation and repair.
Sun damage can be reversible with the right combination of treatments and expert care. Visit Skin Renewal for tailored solutions that restore your skin's health and beauty. Contact us for more information or to schedule your appointment.
Treatments for sun damage are available in Gauteng at the Morningside, Parkhurst, Rosebank, Bedfordview, Fourways, West Rand, Irene, Waterfall, Irene, Lynnwood and Brooklyn clinics, as well as in the Western Cape at Cape Quarter, Claremont, Constantia, Century City, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Willowbridge clinics, and Kwa-Zulu Natal at the Ballito, Durban and Umhlanga clinics.
No, it is never too late to improve sun-damaged skin. While some sun damage may be permanent, many treatments, such as chemical peels, laser therapy, and retinoid-based skincare, can help reverse visible signs of damage. Incorporating antioxidants like vitamin C and treatments such as microneedling can also enhance skin rejuvenation, improving texture and reducing hyperpigmentation caused by UV exposure.
Sun damage can result in long-term effects like wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and loss of elasticity. While some damage, like DNA changes in the skin, may be permanent, professional treatments like IPL (intense pulsed light), laser resurfacing, and medical-grade skincare products can significantly improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin. Early intervention and ongoing sun protection are essential for preventing further damage.
Yes, untreated sun damage can worsen over time. Prolonged UV exposure accelerates skin ageing, leading to deeper wrinkles, more prominent age spots, and an increased risk of skin cancer. The cumulative effects of sun damage often become more apparent as you age, so it’s crucial to use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and invest in treatments to repair existing damage.
Removing years of sun damage requires a combination of professional treatments and at-home skincare. Chemical peels, laser therapy, and microneedling are effective options for resurfacing the skin and fading hyperpigmentation. Products containing retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid can boost collagen production, improve skin texture, and enhance radiance. Regular exfoliation, hydration, and sun protection are essential to maintaining results and preventing future damage.
