Introduction
In general, sunburned skin may exhibit symptoms such as mild surface redness, dullness, erythema, swelling and heat, peeling, and imbalanced oil-water levels. Ultramicronized bubbles are suitable for repairing mild surface redness after sunburn. Hyaluronic acid is effective for treating swelling and heat following sunburn. Microneedling therapy is appropriate for addressing dull skin after sunburn. Hydrafacial injections are recommended for treating peeling and oil-water imbalance in sunburned skin.
In general, sunburned skin may exhibit symptoms such as mild redness, swelling and heat sensation, dullness, erythema (red patches), peeling, and imbalanced oil-water levels.
Ultra-micro bubble therapy is suitable for repairing mild redness on the skin surface after sunburn. Hyaluronic acid treatment is appropriate for addressing swelling and heat sensation following sun exposure. Microneedling therapy is effective for improving dull skin after sunburn. Hydrafacial (hyaluronic acid injection) is recommended for treating peeling and oil-water imbalance. Photorejuvenation (IPL) is indicated for sunburn-induced erythema.
Analysis of Sunburn Skin Repair Methods:
| Symptom | Mild Redness | Swelling & Heat Sensation | Dull Skin | Peeling & Oil-Water Imbalance | Erythema |
| Symptom Analysis | Thin stratum corneum with slight capillary dilation | UV radiation causes superficial blood vessel dilation, leading to skin swelling and dryness | UV exposure increases melanin production in the skin | Excessive UV exposure damages epidermal cells, causing them to shed | UV-induced allergic reactions or dermatitis |
Repair Method | Ultra-Micro Bubble Therapy | Hyaluronic Acid | Microneedling Therapy | Hydrafacial | Photorejuvenation (IPL) |
