There are some very well-documented consequences of excessive UV exposure, despite our understanding of sunshine as being essential to life. The ultraviolet light in sunlight can damage the DNA in our skin, causing sunspots, mutations and growth into cancers. Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world, and one in two Australians will develop skin cancer at some time in their lives.
If you are concerned about sunspots, contact our Melbourne clinic to arrange an appointment.
