Fall is here and while you may think that means it’s time for cozy sweaters and pumpkin patch visits, it’s also laser season!  Now is the time to undo the sun damage from the summer, light dark patches, address redness, and improve an uneven skintone.  At Miller Family Dermatology, we recommend BroadBand Light treatments, or BBL in Seattle to help clear and brighten sun damaged skin.

What Causes Sun Damage?

Sun damage is primarily caused by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.  These harmful rays penetrate the skin, damaging collagen and elastin fibers, which are crucial for maintaining skin’s firmness and elasticity.  Over time, this damage appearas as wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and uneven texture.  BBL in Seattle is a highly effective treatmet for reversing sun damage.

How Long Does It Take For The Sun to Damage Your Skin?

You may think your sun exposure is minimal, but even brief moments spent in the sun can add up.  While a bad sunburn can cause immediate damage, for many people, it’s the cumulative exposure that leads to signs of premature aging.  This is why sunscreen is important every day.

How Do I Know If My Skin is Sun Damaged?

It’s usually pretty easy to tell if you have sun damage.  Common signs are:

• Dark Spots: Often called sunspots, age spots, or liver spots, these are areas of hyperpigmentation.
• Redness or Broken Capillaries: A persistent flushed look or tiny visible blood vessels.
• Rough Texture: Skin that feels dry, leathery, or less smooth.
• Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Especially around the eyes and mouth.
• Dullness: A general lack of radiance or even tone.

How Can You Reverse Sun Damage?

At Miller Family Dermatology, we utilize the Sciton BBL Hero, which is the gold standard for BroadBand Light (BBL) therapy.  This advanced treatment targets the pigment in sunspots and the tiny vessels causing redness, breaking them down and flushing them from your body.  You’ll see healthier, more even-toned skin and a more radiant complexion.  The signs of sun damage will be reversed before your eyes (with a little time).
