WHAT IS PHOTOAGING?

Pavise is science in defiance of photoaging. Every Pavise solution is designed to provide the most comprehensive and effective defense against photoaging. But why does Pavise care so deeply about photoaging defense? What are the implications of photoaging, and how does it affect skin health? Here, we’ll explain why photoaging defense should be foundational to your skin health regimen and how Pavise can support you. 

Photoaging refers to skin damage caused by solar radiation, primarily UVA radiation, and is responsible for 90% of visible changes to the skin.

UVB radiation is most responsible for sunburns and has demonstrated the most carcinogenicity.

Because UVA rays penetrate the skin’s dermis and are more abundant, they contribute more seriously to photoaging.

Damage begins to occur after just 15 minutes of unprotected UVA exposure, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles, volume loss, skin sagging, and a more compromised skin barrier.

80% of extrinsic aging can be attributed to UV radiation-specific ROS production and skin damage. 

Photoaging describes the aging processes that can be attributed to UV exposure.

UV exposure leads to the overproduction of ROS and other free radicals in skin. This overproduction is called oxidative stress, and damages skin cell DNA. This damage prevents skin cells from operating optimally, resulting in collagen degradation, hyperpigmentation, and wrinkling.

Sunscreens intercept UV rays before their energy can be converted into ROS by skin cells, offering the best protection against photoaging.

What you need to know

Melasma is a common and frustrating skin condition characterized by dark patches on the face, primarily influenced by genetics, hormones, and sun exposure.

Treating melasma can be challenging due to its deep-layered impact, limited safe treatment options during pregnancy, and varying efficacy of traditional treatments on different skin types.

Using a UVA and HEVL-protective treatment like Dynamic Age Defense SPF is crucial for preventing, treating, and managing melasma effectively, because it offers 100% mineral protection without hidden chemical UV filters and is safe for sensitive skin.
