How to effectively remove discoloration?
Skin discoloration can have several causes. The first one is our genetic predispositions. Our skin type greatly influences the tendency to develop discoloration. Often, individuals with lighter skin tone need to be more cautious of sunlight than those with darker skin.
Another cause is hormonal imbalances and other health issues that affect the body's processes.
A third, often overlooked reason for discoloration, is certain cosmetic ingredients and herbal teas. Yes, you read that right. Herbs like St. John's Wort and Hypericum, besides supporting the body's health, can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight and lead to the appearance or intensification of discoloration.
Of course, we must not forget about the Sun itself, whose rays activate tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production.
Skin discolorations are simply uneven distribution of pigment, melanin, in the skin. Under the influence of one of the aforementioned causes or a combination of several, there can be irregular stimulation of tyrosinase, which actively participates in melanin production. Accumulation of melanin in one area (which can be extensive) leads to skin discoloration. This accumulation can occur in different layers of the skin, affecting the treatment method. Interestingly, UV rays can alter the DNA structure of cells, creating additional harmful bonds.
Prevention is the best approach. Avoiding UV rays, using sunscreen, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are important. However, this may not always be sufficient or feasible. In the case of hormonal imbalances, addressing the root cause is essential before treating the discolorations themselves. Specialists at the Ambasada Urody in Warsaw offer a variety of treatments to tailor to the individual needs of the patient.
For mild changes, treatments like the popular Intraceuticals procedure, favored by Hollywood stars, can lighten discolorations and moisturize the skin. Another brightening treatment is Hydrafacial, which, like the previous one, non-invasively allows active ingredients to penetrate deep into the skin, nourishing it, cleansing effectively, and gently removing dead skin cells.
For more severe changes, stronger treatments are recommended. Medical peels and laser treatments for discoloration are commonly used. At Ambasada Urody, a range of medical peels is available, customizable to the patient's needs. An interesting treatment is DNA Recovery Peeling, which inhibits tyrosinase and penetrates the cell nucleus to repair DNA.
Laser treatments are incredibly effective in treating discoloration. The Palomar and Alma Harmony lasers used at Ambasada Urody allow for a quick and efficient combat against discolorations. If you want to see how such a treatment looks like, click here.
Fighting skin discolorations is not easy, but with modern medical treatments, they can be effectively reduced or removed. Often, discoloration therapy requires a series of treatments, which prolongs the duration, and it is crucial to avoid sunlight after the procedures. Hence, autumn is the most suitable season for discoloration therapy.
