Skin care and dermatological treatments after summer sun exposure

Following the summer season, skin issues such as pigment spots, redness, and scars often become more prominent. UV radiation can trigger oxidative stress, degrade collagen, and contribute to uneven skin tone, rosacea breakouts, or acne.

Experts from Derma EDEN, including dermatologist Dr. Tanja Fantulin, note that sun exposure stimulates melanin production, leading to hyperpigmentation. While various factors like hormones and aging influence pigmentation, laser treatments and photorejuvenation are used to improve skin texture and tone. However, certain procedures like photorejuvenation should not be performed on tanned skin.
