What to do about discoloration on the face?
Skin is our largest organ. And the most exposed to external factors. One of the most common skin problems are discolorations. They affect a significant part of society and not everyone knows that they can be dealt with.
The color of our skin is determined by the pigment of the skin - melanin. It is produced in melanocytes. These are pigment cells that produce and store melanin. For various reasons, pigment cells sometimes produce too much pigment in one place, resulting in a visible discoloration. And in this place, it is worth noting that there are different types of discolorations.
First of all, they can be divided based on our attitude towards them. There are "desired" discolorations - such as freckles, which many people desire, and those that we want to get rid of as soon as possible. Here, we will focus on the second group.
Changes in skin color can have different origins, and this is another characteristic by which they can be classified. Some are innate, and others acquired. Among the acquired ones, to a large extent, these are skin changes resulting from contact with sunlight or photosensitizing substances. The second group of discolorations has its basis in our hormonal system and is a reflection of hormonal imbalances in our body.
Another classification can be the depth of discoloration. There are pigment changes at the level of the epidermis, but for example, most discolorations caused by hormonal changes are located in deeper layers of the skin.
If unwanted discolorations appear on our body, the first thing we should do is consult a doctor. They will diagnose the cause of the discolorations and help deal with it, for example, if hormonal disorders are the cause. This way, we will not only start fighting the discolorations we already have but also prevent the formation of new changes in skin color.
As for existing discolorations, they can be removed or their visibility reduced by various carefully selected treatments.
Superficial discolorations can be exfoliated, for example, using well-selected acidic peels. For deeper changes in skin pigmentation, laser treatment is necessary. A highly recommended and effective treatment for this type of discoloration is the non-ablative ClearLift procedure, which reaches deep into the skin without damaging the epidermis and breaks down melanin into smaller particles. This allows them to be removed by the body. Interestingly, the first reaction of discoloration to laser treatment is darkening, and only after some time does a gradual absorption of the pigment occur.
Above all, it is worth avoiding UV rays. In summer, high SPF creams will help us not only avoid sunburn but also maintain an even skin tone.
Another important factor is leading a healthy lifestyle and taking care of hormonal balance.
Thanks to these activities, your skin will maintain better condition for years to come.
We recommend
A treatment that reduces harmless pigmentation changes that can be congenital or caused by physical damage, such as sunburn, injuries, irritation, post light therapy and natural aging. A series of treatments effectively reduces discoloration, chloasma, sun and liver spots. Immediately after the procedure, the discoloration darkens, followed by peeling, which leads to its reduction. It is recommended to perform a series of 3-4 treatments and to avoid the sun and sun beds.
Clear Lift facial laser lifting is a modern, fractional, non-ablative method of rejuvenating the skin, known as 4D lifting because it works on different levels of the skin - from the epidermis to the deep layers of the dermis. By using the technology of the non-ablative Q-Switch Nd:YAG laser, the treatment does not damage the skin's surface, which means no pain or recovery period. It is a gentler alternative to traditional ablative lasers, while still providing effective rejuvenation, firming, and improvement in skin quality.
How does Clear Lift laser lifting work?
- It works at different depths of the skin - stimulating collagen and elastin from superficial layers to deep skin structures.
- The fractional but non-ablative nature of the treatment means that the laser creates micro-damage in the skin without affecting its surface, activating natural repair processes.
- Precisely breaks down accumulated pigment particles, allowing for effective reduction of both superficial and deep discolorations, such as melasma or sunspots.
- Stimulates fibroblasts to intensely produce collagen, leading to improved skin density and firmness, smoothing wrinkles, and lifting the facial contour.
Effects of Clear Lift laser lifting
- Visible improvement in facial contour and skin firmness - the skin becomes more taut, resilient, and elastic.
- Smoothing of fine lines and reduction of wrinkles - shallowing both superficial and deeper wrinkles on the face, neck, and décolleté.
- Pore tightening and skin texture smoothing - ideal for individuals with enlarged pores and uneven skin texture.
- Reduction of discolorations and even skin tone - effective combat against melasma, pigmented spots, and acne remnants.
- Revitalization and brightening of the skin - giving the skin a healthy, youthful glow.
- Reduction of scars and improvement in skin texture - excellent for skin with acne scars and other imperfections.
