Surge in Interest in Treating Solar Keratoses and Brown Spots Before Summer

As awareness of sun damage continues to grow, dermatology clinics are seeing increased demand for assessment and treatment of solar keratoses and pigmentation concerns ahead of summer holidays.

Solar keratoses are rough, sun-damaged patches that develop after years of UV exposure and should always be assessed professionally, as some may carry a small risk of progressing into skin cancer. Brown spots and uneven pigmentation are also common concerns among patients seeking clearer, brighter skin.

Dermatologists are encouraging patients to prioritise regular skin checks and daily SPF use, even during cloudy British weather. Advances in laser technology, cryotherapy and prescription topical treatments are making management more effective than ever.
