Sunspots & Ultraviolet Radiation
Spots and skin pigmentation are small flat dark areas on the skin, the result of the reaction of melanocytes to ultraviolet radiation.
They appear mainly on parts of the body that are exposed to the sun such as the face, shoulders, arms and hands.
The spots are created by overactive melanocytes, which cause disturbances in the production process of melanin, the natural pigment that gives color to the skin.
Sun spots and skin pigmentation are usually harmless.
However, because they resemble skin cancer, it is good to visit a dermatologist before deciding to start any treatment.

Wrinkles the First Symptom of Damage
One of the first, if not the first, signs of damage caused by solar radiation, are wrinkles on the skin. UV rays cause free radicals to develop in the skin, destroying elastin fibers and contributing to wrinkles and possibly skin cancer.
In general, people with fair skin are more susceptible to the appearance of wrinkles than people who have dark skin.
The truth is that we are all susceptible to photoaging. However, the amount of damage it has caused to your skin depends on the length of time you have been exposed to the sun, your skin type and the amount of sunshine where you live.
Sun damage to your skin makes you look older.
The correct assessment of your skin condition by the dermatologists of Facemed Clinic will save you from wasted time and lead you to the appropriate treatment.
Treatments that can instantly rejuvenate the skin in the summer are Dermapen and Mesotherapy.
