Can Sun Damage Be Reversed?

Visible photoageing can often be improved, while future damage can be reduced. Existing cellular history cannot simply be erased, so cosmetic treatment should sit alongside ongoing protection and appropriate skin checks.

Pigmentazione

Melasma, Hyperpigmentation and Visible Light

Visible light can contribute to pigmentation, especially in darker phototypes. For melasma, tinted sunscreens containing pigments such as iron oxides may provide an advantage over UV-only formulas, but they are one part of a broader treatment plan.

SPF Protects Your Skin. UPF Protects What SPF Can Miss.

SPF is a sunscreen rating centred on protection from sunburn; broad-spectrum testing addresses UVA as well. UPF measures UV transmission through fabric. Use tested clothing and sunscreen together, according to what is covered and what remains exposed.
