Try Some Glycolic Lotion and Physical Block UV Protection!
Purpura - a sometimes severe condition resulting from the rupture of tiny capillaries deep in the skin. These ruptures cause leaking of blood in the deeper layer of the skin - causing red or purple bruises - most often seen on the back of hands and forearms. The thinning of older skin due to lessening of natural fats will traditionally result in very fragile, transparent "onionskin" or "crepepaper" look. Due to this thinning epidermis, some individuals may even become victim to painful skin tearing. At times the condition is so advanced that bruising and tearing will occur without any real outward cause or injury. The condition seems particularly linked to those who have spent many hours in the outdoors due to career, hobby or lifestyle.
Sunlight has a profound effect on the skin causing premature skin aging, skin cancer, and a host of skin changes. Exposure to ultraviolet light, UVA or UVB, from sunlight accounts for 90% of the symptoms of premature skin aging. Many skin changes that were commonly believed to be due to aging, such as easy bruising, are actually a result of prolonged exposure to UV radiation.
UV radiation causes the walls of blood vessels to become thinner leading to bruising with only minor trauma in sun-exposed areas. For example, most of the bruising that occurs on sun-damaged skin occurs on the backs of the hands and forearms not on the inside of the upper arm or even the inside of the forearm. Does this happen to you?
What Can YOU Do To Get Healthier Skin?
Using a glycolic lotion and a physical block UV protection cream will make your skin more resilient and less prone to bruising. It can take from 3-6 months with continous daily treatment to realize results. Adding a bi-weekly glycolic peel done in the office will also boost the effects of home care.
Vitamin K Oxide Creams can also diminish bruising within days. Results may vary depending on the severity of the bruising.
