Sun Protection as part of Medical Skin Care at Ology Spas

The Importance of Sun Protection as part of Medical Skin Care at Ology Spas at Clarian North and Clarian West Medical Centers

Fall is a good time to take a good close look at the affects the summer sun has on your skin. For most people it’s hard to completely avoid sun exposure, and it’s good for our mentality to enjoy the summer months of warm weather. However, sun damage not only occurs when we are sitting beside the pool or boating, but also accumulates into a significant amount of damage as we live our daily lives. It’s interest that most people have more sun damage on the left side of their face from driving in the car. This goes to show how important it is to wear a Broad Spectrum Sunscreen every day. This means you are getting protection from both UVA and UVB rays. Ingredients like Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide are commonly used in these Broad Spectrum Sunscreens. Generally sunscreens loose effectiveness over time, so it is a good idea to replace your sunscreens every year.Even if you start today consistently wearing sunscreen, it is likely you already have a good amount of damage from early years. This damage often shows up as hyperpigmentaion or brown spots. These can occur on you face, hands, chest, arms, and any other areas exposed to the sun.At OLOGY we use a tool called VISIA that analyzes the skin on the face. This is a good way to see the amount of sun damage you have accumulated up to this point, and then find out how you can prevent and correct your damage.
