Beautiful Skin For The Holidays With Assistance Of BBL Forever Young As summer turns to autumn, people start to think about the upcoming holidays and all the parties and events that the holiday season brings. For men and women with sun damage to their skin, looking their best is often something they are self-conscious about. Typical Skin Damage From Sun or UV Exposure Skin damage from the sun, also known as photodamage or photoaging, is not the same as a tan. It is also not the result of a serious or deep sunburn, although burns do cause significant skin damage. In fact, it is a buildup of the damage from years of exposure to either direct sunlight or to tanning beds or tanning lights. Some of the most common types of damage experienced by men and women due to sun exposure or exposure to UV lights can include deeper and more pronounced wrinkles and fine lines, particularly around the eyes. Age spots or darker spots on the face, neck, and hands also prematurely age a person. Loose skin and spider veins visible on the nose and cheek areas are also signs of sun exposure. Red or ruddy areas of the face or irregular dark pigmentation are also additional signs of sun damage. Factors that Contribute to Sun Damage The age of the individual and the type of UV exposure are two of the main factors to the premature aging of the skin. Older skin has less collagen and more damage to the skin's surface, so sun or UV light damage can be more pronounced, even with lower exposure levels. The skin tone, genetic factors, and how much the individual cared for his or her skin throughout their life also has an impact on the appearance of aging. Repairing the Damage Thanks to advances in treatment techniques, many of the signs of aging due to UV light exposure can be reduced or eliminated. This is done through the use of BBL or BroadBand Light as an anti-aging treatment with the Joule laser system. The BBL Forever Young system uses a board range of wavelengths of light and a flash lamp technology. The BBL module offers different filters that are used to adjust the light on the skin, targeting not only the specific area of damage but the specific type of damage. The filters used with the BBL Forever Young system can treat acne, age spots, freckles, and vascular issues. There is also the option to use a treatment expansion process through the SkinTyte™ filter that gently and safely heats the existing collagen in the skin, prompting the development of the collagen to increase the tone and firming of the skin, reducing or eliminating lines and wrinkles. The BBL Forever Young laser system provides impressive results on all skin types and tones. With its targeted focus on specific problem areas, clients can expect to see results in one to two weeks. Noninvasive and requiring no downtime or recovery time after the procedure, this is a great early present to give yourself to look your best for the holiday season.
