Article: What is UVA, UVB and UVC radiation

Sunlight consists of a wide range of different wavelengths of radiation. Some of these we can sense - the warmth we feel in sunlight comes from Infra-Red radiation, and the light we can see comes from radiation in the visible spectrum. There are other wavelengths in sunlight that we can't see, and chief among these are those in the Ultra Violet group. There are at least three different types of Ultra-Violet radiation and these are generally referred to as UVA, UVB and UVC.

What is UVA Radiation?

This is potentially the most damaging form as it penetrates deep into the skin. It is this form of UV that causes the long term damage, as it causes the living cells in the basal layer to change. It is now understood that these changes to living skin cells are the primary cause of the most serious forms of skin cancer.

UVA also damages structures made from or containing collagen and elastin and this is one of the main causes of wrinkles and premature aging in skin that is often exposed to sunlight.

So remember UVA = A for Aging!


What is UVB Radiation?

UVB radiation causes the appearance of a tan after sun exposure. It does this by stimulating the formation of the pigment 'melanin' in the deeper layers of the skin activating its movement to the outer skin layers. Here it acts as an antioxidant and skin protector - it is in fact part of our natural defence against sun damage.

UVB radiation also causes thickening of the outer layers of the skin, and if subject to excessive exposure, the skin will become sun-burnt. This should be avoided at all costs, particularly by children, as it is thought that sun-burn in early years may lead to an increased risk of skin cancer later in life.

So remember UVB = B for Burning!


And UVC Radiation?

UVC has the shortest wavelength and is not thought to have significant effects on skin health.
