What is Photoaging and How Can It Be Helped?

We get it, the last thing anyone wants to hear about is a different way of aging. The good news is photoaging isn’t exactly a different way of aging AND we can all take steps to fight and even reverse the effects of photoaging! So what is photoaging? Is it different from the idea of aging in general? 

Let’s find out. 

What’s the difference between photoaging and normal aging?

Each person has a unique natural aging process. Genetics and lifestyle are the major contributing factors to the aging process. Photoaging is premature aging directly caused by repeated exposure to UV. If you aren’t protecting yourself from the sun, you’re contributing to premature aging via photoaging.

When unmitigated, it can make someone look 20 years older than they really are. That’s why the number one thing you can do for your skin is wear sunscreen! 

How to reverse photoaging

While wearing sunscreen and avoiding exposure are the best ways to avoid photoaging in the first place, not all of us were young enough to get the memo about sunscreen until we were already covered in freckles and spots! 

Fret not, sister. Photofacials and laser facials like Halo treatment in Toledo work quickly and effectively to reverse photoaging and restore your fresh complexion.
