Depending on what your PPO insurance quote or your HMO insurance quote covers, you may be eligible for certain skin treatments to protect your skin from damage.  Spending too much time in the sun can cause excessive lines, wrinkles and age spots according to the article “Treating Sun-Damaged Skin” by Andrea Markowitz on healthkey.com.  There are treatments though to help repair the damage.

There are non-surgical treatments such as Botox, chemical peels and collagen injections.  Surgical treatments include laser skin resurfacing, non-ablative resurfacing, and intense pulsed light therapy.  There are also many different over-the-counter treatments available for everyone such as Vitamin A, Copper, Alpha-Hydroxy acids, and antioxidants.

It can be challenging to determine what treatment is best with you, but the good news is that most health insurance companies cover a visit to a dermatologist to help treat you properly.  You should be visiting a dermatologist regularly anyways to continually screen the health of your skin.  They will consider many factors before treating you such as age, overall health, medical history, and the severity of your symptoms before they subscribe you treatment.
