  • in case of violation of approved protocols for such skin pigmentation removal treatment procedures as chemical peeling or laser treatment of skin pigmentation, age spots on the face and neck may also remain, which once again confirms the recommendation to visit only specialized cosmetology clinics and salons where experienced licensed cosmetologists work;
  • senile pigmentation, which appears on the face, neck, and hands after 50-60 years, is also associated with hormonal changes in the body, especially when there are several concomitant chronic diseases.

Description of pigment spots

To find the best treatment for pigmentation, you should know what types of pigment spots exist:

  1. Nevi (birthmarks) are benign formations with clusters of melanocyte cells. They can appear both at birth and during life. They are flat, slightly protruding above the skin, and brown with a rough or smooth surface.
  2. Lentigo (age spots) – come in brown and dark brown. With hyperpigmentation, keratosis appears, and a thickening of the stratum corneum. As a rule, spots appear on open areas of the body, which are most often exposed to solar radiation. Therefore, body pigmentation treatment is necessary in this case.
  3. Sunspots are caused by prolonged exposure to the sun or improper tanning in a solarium. They often appear on the décolleté, face, shoulders, and back.
  4. Chloasma (pigmented spots during pregnancy) – limited skin pigmentation. A change in skin color appears during pregnancy. These are symmetrical spots of light brown or brown-black color. They are located on the face, around the nipples, and abdomen. Chloasma disappears within a few months after pregnancy or takes a long-term character. In this case, to hurry to treat pigmentation.
  5. Photosensitivity is a disease in which usual spots appear. They can be caused by increased sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation and the content of antibiotics and hormonal contraceptives in the body during active tanning. In addition, photosensitivity can be caused by applying alcohol-based products to the skin (perfume, lotion, deodorant) before tanning.
  6. Freckles (ephelides) – appear in fair-haired and fair-skinned people, redheads. Pigmentation intensifies in the spring-summer period and disappears by the winter period. However, the first signs of freckles are already noticeable in childhood, at 4-6 years old. So, to treat pigmentation is the best option.

  • on the deep – the action of phenolic acid.

Injection cosmetic procedureforskin treatment for pigmentation, during which various cocktails of vitamins, amino acids, and extracts of medicinal plants are introduced into the patient’s epidermis.To exfoliate and whiten the skin, mesotherapy with ascorbic acid is recommended.

  1. Selective phototherapyaspigmentation of skin treatment. The destruction of the pigment occurs with the help of powerful light radiation. The skin pigmentation treatment uses a device that affects the epidermis with light rays of different lengths, causing a brightening effect. Light rays heat the area of the skin, destroying melanin.

So the skin color evens out, looks more “healthy and rested.” During phototherapyskin pigment treatment, the patient does not experience pain, only a slight burning or tingling sensation. The procedure has a fast recovery time. After 2-5 days, the patient can lead an everyday life.
  1. Laser removal of pigmentation. Laser pigmentation skin treatment is a procedure that is a fast, safe, and effective method for removing age spots, solar lentigo, melasma, chloasma, etc. Laser skin pigmentation treatment is more indicated for local removal of already existing pigmentation of a small area. Suppose, besides correcting visible pigment, you want to achieve a complex effect of brightening and evening out skin tone, improving its quality throughout the face, and preventing latent pigmentation. In that case, this therapy will be the best solution.

After the laser treatment pigmentation, the treated pigment first darkens, and after a week, gradual lightening, reduction, or complete disappearance is observed. Depending on the area and depth of the pigment, the laser pigmentation treatment course can be from 3 to 5 procedures.
Experienced practitioners with extensive experience carry out complex diagnostic procedures and choose the appropriate method of skin pigmentation treatments.
How to protect yourself in the summer from the appearance of hyperpigmentation?
When experts named the cause of age spots on the face and body, how to prevent this effect in the warm season remains to be heard.
Persistent sun spots appear due to the active production of melanin provoked by excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays. So, to avoid hyperpigmentation and further pigmentation treatment, it is enough to limit exposure to the sun:
from sunbathing on the beach, the solarium should be abandoned;
exposure to the sun without protection should be limited to 5-7 minutes;
hands and décolleté should be covered with a light cloth. You can protect your face from solar radiation with a wide-brimmed hat and a summer umbrella;
to protect the skin from aggressive external influences, moisturizing serums with antioxidants can be used.
If you still have to stay outdoors in the summer during the daytime, you must use protective creams with special filters that filter out aggressive ultraviolet radiation.
