Healing Skin Care
(even sun damaged skin!)

Why healing skin care? Oh the things we do when we are young that we may be paying for now! Long, unprotected exposure to the sun was probably one of those devil-may-care activities. I know I did, and there are certain areas of my body that are paying for the sunburns so carelessly incurred. If you have ever seen the type of photo that shows what damaged skin looks like just under the surface.

Sun exposure is one of the major contributors to skin damage, but there is also signifigant damage from smoking, excessive drinking, not enough sleep, poor nutrition, and chronic dehydration.

Below are some pictures done with UV Photography. Ultraviolet (UV) light dramatically reveals sun damage, acne scars, actinic keratoses (patches of precancerous cells), and other problems that may not be visible under the wavelengths of visible light. UV photographs look like normal black and white photographs that show you these problems (see the examples below).
