Ultraviolet Protection and Recovery: Tips and Treatments to Beat the Winter Sun
Ultraviolet Protection and Recovery: Tips and Treatments to Beat the Winter Sun
During the colder months, UV rays can intensify due to reflection off snow and ice. Despite common misconceptions, sunburns are not exclusive to summer. Winter sunburns can catch individuals off guard, especially during outdoor activities where UV exposure is increased.
Also, it's essential to note that UV damage accumulates over time. Therefore, repeated, unprotected exposure can lead to premature aging of the skin (wrinkles, fine lines, etc.) and even skin cancer.
Moreover, skin burn or damage due to UV rays is more than just skin deep. It can damage the collagen fibers in the skin, leading to wrinkles and lines and decreasing skin elasticity over time.
Protecting Your Skin from Winter Sun
-
Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen on all exposed skin, even on cloudy days.
-
Wear appropriate clothing, including UV-protective sunglasses and a hat to shield your face.
-
Seek shade when possible if you're outside for long duration.
-
Be aware of the reflective nature of snow, which can intensify UV exposure.
NDYAG Laser Treatment for Sunburn
If sunburn occurs, one effective treatment method for skin rejuvenation is having an NDYAG laser treatment. The NDYAG laser is a type of crystal laser that is used in dermatology to remove skin lesions and for skin rejuvenation.
This laser promotes skin healing by emitting a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the hemoglobin and melanin in your skin cells. It works in a non-ablative manner, which means it heats the upper layers of the epidermis, stimulating new collagen growth and regenerating fresh, new skin.
Not only can it help with sunburn, but it can also address lesions, age spots, acne scarring, uneven skin tone, and more. Always consult a professional before considering any treatment. While we enjoy the beauty of winter and the joy of spring, remember to care for your skin - after all, it's the barrier that protects you from the world's elements!
