Topic Summary
Sun-related skin damage, also known as photoageing, is a common reason that patients seek out cosmetic treatment from dermatologists. Australians experience much higher levels of photoageing compared to people in other countries, manifesting as fine lines and wrinkles, brown spots, skin texture changes and redness. In this presentation, Dr Katherine Armour will describe the procedures and treatments available for the various manifestations of photoageing that patients are asking about, to give you a practical understanding of the effectiveness and realistic expectations that each option entails.
