Tanning is usually accompanied by spots on the skin. Although most are harmless to health, they are quite unsightly and age a lot. According to Dr. Gema Pérez Sevilla, a facial aesthetic surgeon and doctor, “the most common pigmentations are moles, freckles and lentigines. While the former appear during childhood and rarely require treatment, solar lentigines are directly related to age and sun exposure. It is the latter that are to blame for the fact that the skin stops looking healthy and young and looks unkempt. The physical difference with freckles is that these spots are usually larger and more irregular, and can take on a darker tone. brown or also whitish. In addition to the face, it is common to find them on the neckline or hands, in general, the areas most exposed to sunlight”.
Stains that add years
Dr. Pérez Sevilla explains that “lentigines are also known as liver spots, although they have nothing to do with any disease related to the liver. They generally appear after the age of 50 and tend to grow as we age. In addition, they are highly resistant to traditional cosmetic treatments, so it is inevitable to resort to aesthetic medicine techniques such as lasers”.
Contrary to what one might believe, according to the expert, “the darkest spots are the ones that best react to medical treatments due to the contrast with the skin.” These are the treatments recommended by the expert to treat facial hyperpigmentation.
CO2 laser
This type of laser is a light system that interacts with the skin to remove its most superficial layers and thus achieve great renewal while regenerating the deepest layer.
If we translate this into results, we are talking about two great achievements: eliminating sun spots and achieving luminous skin with an even tone. It is effective for removing sun spots, but also for scars or acne marks. In addition, its action in the deepest layers helps to fight against the passage of time by smoothing wrinkles and tightening the skin.
Recovery: After the application of the laser light, the skin will have a brownish color until the superficial layer is detached. Later, as the skin is new, it will look pink. This redness can be camouflaged by applying?colored sunscreen?or make-up on the treated area. In addition, you have to hydrate it deeply, until after a few days, it will be smoother and brighter.
Recommended sessions: between 1 and 4, depending on the condition of the skin.
Price: from €250 / session.
Photorejuvenation
In addition to removing stains, it is a specific treatment for skin rejuvenation that is also useful for removing vascular dilations such as veins and telangiectasias, wrinkles, and improving problems of dehydration or loss of flaccidity.
It uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and vascular and pigment lasers, alone or in combination, to restore the health of facial skin. Through IPL and laser we can eliminate the accumulation of pigment, close the dilated vessels and improve the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in the facial skin to reduce flaccidity.
