Dr. Richard Rust practices non-academic medicine as a staff anesthesiologist at a private hospital in Indianapolis. He works at the hospital through Northside Anesthesia Services, LLC, a company that services a number of private hospitals and surgery centers throughout Indianapolis. In addition to his work as an anesthesiologist, Dr. Richard Rust has developed a strong understanding of skin damage, and he has written a book about proper skin care.

Exposure to the sun affects the skin in a variety of ways, however, some minor skin damage can be reversed. Often times, the outermost layer of skin contains a buildup, causing the skin to look dirty or uneven. Exfoliating is one way of smoothing skin tone and brightening the skin.

Keeping the skin hydrated improves firmness and overall appearance. Exposure to the sun dries out the skin, leading to wrinkles and dry spots. Using moisturizers, especially ones that include hyaluronic acid, can plump the skin and reduce the visibility of wrinkles. Further, topical creams that are rich in antioxidants may prevent cancer. LEDs are also commonly used to increase the production of collagen and reduce lines and wrinkles.
