What aesthetic procedures will help to combat hyperpigmentation?
The pigment that causes skin color is called melanin. It is synthesized in skin cells and serves to protect against the sun's ultraviolet rays.
Hyperpigmentation, also called melanoderma, is an increase in the pigment melanin in the skin. Among the most common hyperpigmentation are freckles (ephelides) and age spots (chloasma, melanoderma). They can be congenital or the consequences of various external and internal factors, as well as the result of taking certain medications. They can be located all over the body, be diffuse (without clear outlines) or limited.
Exposure to sunlight is also a cause of hyperpigmentation. Spots from UV exposure are observed mainly on exposed parts of the body: hands, face, and others.
For skin prone to age spots, prevention is the best solution.
Appropriate cosmetics (year-round sun protection), avoid direct sunlight. An even better alternative is to use sunscreens that contain zinc oxide, which acts as a powerful barrier, especially against UV rays that penetrate deep into the skin. In the case of pigmentation of a different origin, it is important to indicate the suspected cause in order to undertake the most appropriate treatment.
The fight against hyperpigmentation requires perseverance and patience. You should consult a dermatologist to get the best treatment. Treatment of problem areas includes the use of creams containing bleaching ingredients. These can be various acids, hydroquinone, zinc, niacin, soy extract, and others.
During therapy, a sunscreen with a coefficient of at least 30 should be used. At the same time, cosmetics, food and beverages containing vitamin A derivatives should be avoided.
Aesthetic procedures that can help fight age spots are chemical peeling, laser therapy, IPL (pulsed light therapy), and microneedling.
Chemical peels containing salicylic and glycolic acids repair damaged pigmented skin. For its use, it is necessary to comply with certain requirements, such as seasonality and skin phototype, corresponding to the concentration of acid used for peeling. Medium and deep peels are performed by a dermatologist.
Amelan is a type of peeling, the main purpose of which is to treat hyperpigmentation. The whitening effect is achieved through a combination of kojic acid, phytic acid, ascorbic acid, retinyl palmitate and others.
Laser therapy has a very good effect on skin color and is usually more accurate, as the dermatologist has more control over the intensity of therapy. Laser therapy involves irradiating the affected areas with high-energy light. The lightest treatments affect the epidermis of the skin (the surface layer), while more intensive treatments can penetrate into the deepest layers of the skin.
Photo rejuvenation is an extremely effective remedy against many forms of pigmentation. It is performed using an IPL laser and is a non-invasive procedure in which light absorbs melanin (dark skin pigment) and hemoglobin (red color in blood vessels). It acts because this light is converted into heat, which damages the target cells without affecting the surface of the skin. As a result, the treated areas darken, sometimes become almost black, then disappear on their own within 7-28 days (depending on the area in which they are located) or gradually fade.
