25 years of sun damage in 1 picture

Think you're immune to the effects of sun damage?
Hardly.

Now more than ever the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation are well described.

The effects of 28 years of sun damage through Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, are readily seen in this picture originally published by the New England Journal of Medicine. The image is of a 69 year old man who had been a delivery truck driver for 28 years, with the effects of sun damage seen of his left, the side closest to the driver's side window.

The only thing that damages your skin more than the sun's UV rays, is smoking AND the sun's UV rays!

At Fleming Island Plastic Surgery we offer several restorative options to help reduce the effects of sun damage, as well as prevent further injury.

Contact our esthetician, Susan, for your consultation and full evaluation.

Or meet with Dr. Wallace to discuss facial rejuvenation procedures.
