It’s officially summer, and playing outside may be tempting, but did you know that over 90 percent of age-related skin damage is caused by the sun? Even spending just a few minutes a day outside without protection can accumulate in a short period of time, causing wrinkles, brown spots, and an uneven skin tone. So just how do you prevent, and even turn back the clock on, skin damage caused by the sun?
At our Bay Area practice, Dr. Kenneth Bermudez offers multiple skincare treatments and sun protection products to give you healthier, more youthful-looking skin. This sunny season, try one of these non-surgical skin treatments:
The First Step to Supple Skin: Prevention
Whether you’re dealing with sunny and bright summer days or a bit of “June gloom,” protecting your skin—especially your face—is a must. Ultraviolet (UV) rays not only cause aging and sun spots, but they contribute to the loss of skin elasticity, giving us a more aged facial appearance. Of course, the prevention of skin cancer is also a huge factor when it comes to wanting sun protection.
Dr. Bermudez offers a range of dermatologist-grade skincare products, including EltaMD®* broad-spectrum sunscreen, made from zinc oxide. Not only will this natural sunscreen decrease the risk of skin cancer and prevent signs of aging caused by the sun, but it is also fragrance- and paraben-free, and perfect for sensitive skin

Revitalize with the Right Skin Care
If you want to freshen up your face without surgery or a more invasive skin treatment, then your first line of defense will be high-quality skin care products. At Bermudez Aesthetic Medicine, we offer several dermatologist-approved skincare lines, all of which are designed to reduce the effects of sun damage.
For example, Dr. Bermudez offers the Obagi Nu-Derm® System, a skincare system formulated to correct hyperpigmentation and signs of aging, including age spots, lines and wrinkles, and rough skin. Made from natural botanical ingredients, Obagi products are formulated to stimulate elastin and collagen production for a younger appearance.
At our practice, we also offer SkinCeuticals®, a clinical skincare line trusted by dermatologists because of its “backed by science” approach to repairing skin damage. High in antioxidants and other clinically proven ingredients, SkinCeuticals have several products for repairing skin damage, including those that improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while brightening the complexion.
