mesoprotech® and solar radiation and skin

The sun is a source of energy that reaches our planet through different wavelengths (λ) of electromagnetic radiation. Human beings perceive exposure to radiation as visible light (HEV) or heat, such as infrared radiation (IR). However, UV radiation is invisible, making sun exposure an imperceptible risk.

Exposure to solar radiation has multiple health benefits: among others, it stimulates the synthesis of vitamin D and affects our mood. But just as it has positive effects, it can cause undesirable effects on the skin in the short and long term.

The skin has defense systems against solar radiation, such as producing melanin or releasing antioxidant substances. However, it cannot filter all the effects of an occasional or accumulated overexposure on the organism.
