THE PERFECT TAN - PART I

Now you know that sun tanning is bad for the health of your skin but you can still look golden if you safe tan. But safe tanning is new to many people so let's look at what's involved.

Skin Rehab  Freckles, moles, previous sun damage, recent scars and stretch marks along with wrinkles will darken noticeably as a response to the DHA in bronzers. Recent scars and stretch marks will darken very little if at all. Stretch marks that are a few years old will be disguised by bronzers. If this doesn't sound agreeable just remember that stretch marks and scars won't tan in the sun either and freckles, moles and sun damage will only worsen. Exposure to the sun will only make them worse and impair healing. Now there's nothing wrong with going ahead and bronzing over these imperfections. In fact some people use light bronzers to better identify wrinkles, freckles, light moles, and skin damage which may not be immediately evident so that they can more easily rehab them. BBL therapy (broad band light) does a great job of removing these as well as eliminating the look of mottled sun damaged skin. Wrinkles may be handled with light therapies or combinations of light and injectibles. This can make quite a difference in your final safe tan appearance. If you rehab first the skin will have a more uniform golden color where whether you sun or safe tan the eye will be drawn to the darker pigmented areas instead of your over all glowing skin.

If you're already suffering from sun damage there is help:

BBL Therapy-
Broadband light therapy is ideal for removing the blotchiness of sun damaged skin. Check out the Gallery section on my website to see the dramatic difference BBL can make in rejuvenating sun damaged skin.

Rejuvenation Mesotherapy-
Fights the effects of sun related aging by tighten-ing and firming loose skin and restoring a natural youthful glow. Most patients notice improvement before leaving the office and more later as the skin rejuvenates itself.

Dr. Mudd's Magic Wrinkle Eraser-
This is what one of my patients dubbed Botox® and it certainly is effective in removing sun created wrinkles.

Restylane-
A non-animal based compound that will restore fullness to heavily wrinkled areas that have dev-eloped over a life time of sun exposure.

You can have great looking skin and fight the damage the sun may have already done. Look great for years not just for a season!Leave this field empty
