How digital aging happens:

• Studies have found that the blue light from screens causes oxidative stress — a process that occurs when the ratio of antioxidants to free molecules in the body is unbalanced. This presents itself as tissue damage: hyperpigmentation, wrinkles or dark spots.

• In addition to skin-damaging ultraviolet rays, the sun also emits blue light. Blue light has the highest frequency of any other light on the spectrum, which fuels its ability to damage your skin’s protective barrier.

Here are three ways to prevent digital aging:

• Reduce screen time as much as possible.

• Invest in blue light filters for your devices (some, like turning on “night mode” on your phone, are free).

• Use protective skincare products daily, such as sunscreen and products rich with vitamin C and antioxidants. Chemical peels can help relieve dark spots. Wrinkles aggravated by blue light can be smoothed using various aesthetic treatments.

Skin damage from device-emitted blue light is a common problem, but you want experts with an uncommon understanding of the right therapies to provide expert treatments. Dr. Chukwuemeka Onyewu and Dr. Dare Ajibade of Jamachi Plastic Surgery have more than skin-deep experience with identifying and addressing problems of light-damaged skin. The plastic surgeons at Jamachi Plastic Surgery specializes in skin tightening treatments, revising results from other clinics to improve patients satisfaction and work with the most up-to-date skincare technology. Our surgeons are the best in the area for high-definition liposculpting, liposuction, body contouring, and fat grafting i.e brazilian butt lift and breast enhancement with fat transfer.
