Did you mean Ultraviolet A damage?

GlossaryUltraviolet A damage

harm from deep-penetrating UVA rays causing skin aging and cancer

Ultraviolet A (UVA) damage refers to the harm caused by UVA radiation, a type of ultraviolet light from the sun that penetrates deep into the skin. This damage can lead to premature aging, DNA mutations, and an increased risk of skin cancer. UVA rays are less intense than UVB rays but are more prevalent and can penetrate through clouds and glass, making them a significant concern for long-term skin health.
