SUN DAMAGE TREATMENT
Sun damage occurs when your skin is exposed to the sun’s harmful UV rays for prolonged periods without adequate protection. This can result in premature skin aging, hyperpigmentation (dark spots), wrinkles, and in severe cases, increase the risk of skin cancer. Preventing and treating sun damage early is essential for maintaining youthful, healthy skin.
Symptoms of Sun Damage
Anyone who spends time outdoors without proper sun protection is at risk of sun damage. Individuals with fair skin, those who live in sunny climates, and those who frequently use tanning beds are particularly vulnerable to UV damage.
At PRP London Clinic, we supply a range of REFORM Skincare products designed to help reverse sun damage and restore the skin’s natural glow. These products are designed for daily use and offer long-term benefits for sun-damaged skin.

The patient saw a reduction in hyperpigmentation and improvement in skin texture due to the consistent use of the Phyto Botanical Gel, which inhibited tyrosinase production (a key enzyme in melanin formation). Niacinamide, found in the Anti-Blemish Creme, significantly reduced hyperpigmentation by inhibiting the transfer of melanosomes, the pigment-carrying cells, to the surface of the skin.
The exfoliating properties of Retinol 1% and the Repair & Renew Gel further helped shed pigmented skin cells, improving the overall clarity and brightness of the skin. The SPF 50+ Sunscreen was crucial in protecting the skin from UV rays, preventing further hyperpigmentation and premature aging caused by sun exposure.
This targeted skincare routine effectively reduced the visible signs of sun damage while preventing further harm from UV rays.
