UVB

UVB rays are the higher-energy, short-wave component of ultraviolet radiation responsible for sunburns, DNA damage, and surface-level skin injury. They primarily affect the epidermis and play a key role in the development of skin cancers. In AgeBiome™ protocols, post-treatment SPF is essential to protect newly activated skin from UVB-triggered inflammation and damage.

Why It’s Used:

  • Causes visible sunburn and surface redness
  • Damages DNA and increases cancer risk
  • Disrupts skin barrier and recovery post-treatment
  • Can intensify pigmentation and sensitivity
  • Peaks during midday sun exposure (10 AM–4 PM)
  • Requires daily SPF protection, especially after exfoliation or microneedling

What It Means for You:

UVB is what burns your skin fast—but its deeper damage can last. Daily protection keeps your skin safe, strong, and able to heal without interruption.
