Remedies for age spots

Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the subcutaneous administration of beneficial drugs that saturate the skin and awaken natural metabolic processes. Mesotherapy for age spots is one of the most effective areas of technology, as it promotes accelerated regeneration of new epithelial cells, evening out facial tone and neutralizing pigmentation.

Reasons for the formation of age spots

Most often, pigmentation on the face of women appears due to age-related changes. The first signs of photoaging of sensitive skin appear after 30 years, then whitening mesotherapy for pigmentation will help prevent their occurrence.

However, there are other reasons for the appearance of such defects:

1. Ultraviolet radiation . If you sunbathe and don't use sunscreen, your risk of pigmentation is much higher.
2. Hormonal surges. They can happen due to pregnancy, depression or serious illness.
3. Inflammatory processes. Post-acne appears after acne and acne disappear.
4. Injuries and skin damage.
5. Intoxication of the body . Sometimes happens when taking antibiotics or medications.

Keep in mind that mesotherapy will only help you whiten the colored epithelial cells, however, if the cause of pigmentation is related to health problems, you must first pay attention to eliminating them. To do this, first find out what caused the formation of such a problem, and only then undergo a course of mesotherapy.

Types of mesotherapy

Mesotherapy for pigmentation can be performed using one of three techniques:

• Manual. It is used to eliminate local problems, since a syringe with a meso-cocktail is injected into the selected area. It is placed quite deep, which makes the technique quite effective;
• Hardware. It is used to neutralize common problems with facial skin; it uses a device that evenly distributes the beneficial composition over the skin;
• Non-injection. The most gentle technique in which the applied meso-cocktail penetrates the skin due to the influence of electromagnetic pulses.

All technologies can be used to eliminate pigmentation, but they should be done in a salon to ensure maximum effectiveness of the procedure.

Mesococktails and fillers

The main effect of meso-cocktails used for mesotherapy against pigmentation on the face is whitening. Because of this, the useful composition always includes arbutin and ascorbic acid, which ensure the attenuation of the melanin pigment that colors the skin.

However, the administered drug also includes other components:

• Hyaluronic acid;
• Vitamins;
• Minerals;
• Organic acids;
• Animal and plant extracts;
• Collagen;
• Phospholipids;
• Oils.

In cosmetology, the master selects the composition of the drug used independently, taking into account the initial condition of the girl’s skin and the desired result.

Technique

The algorithm for performing mesotherapy depends on the technology you choose. Let's take a closer look at each of them.

Administration of injections

A classic version of mesotherapy, in which a regular syringe with a thin cosmetic needle is used to administer the meso-cocktail.

The syringe is filled with the drug, and then gradually injects it into the necessary areas on the girl’s face.

Factional

The selected composition is applied in a dense layer to the skin, and then, using a special apparatus, many punctures are created on its surface, through which the meso-cocktail is delivered to the deep layers of the epidermis.

Needleless (hardware)

The most painless technique involves administering the drug using electromagnetic waves. The gel is also applied to the skin, and then a device that emits waves is installed on it. Despite the absence of pain, beneficial substances quickly penetrate the epithelial cells.

Cannula

The technique is not used in all salons, since it appeared relatively recently, but it is no less effective.

The method is similar to the classic one, but here a special flexible needle is used, which does not violate the integrity of the skin, but gently pushes them apart, delivering the drug to the epithelial cells.

Laser technologies

Mesotherapy for face and body

A quick, simple and safe method is laser removal of age spots on the face and body. Used to eliminate pigmentation of various origins. The results of the impact are visible within a few days. The procedure is completely painless. The doctor first determines the cause of pigmentation and the depth of its occurrence, then adjusts the device to the patient’s individual parameters and treats the skin. The beam destroys pigmented cells. Small and light spots are usually destroyed at one time; several sessions may be required to remove extensive and intense pigmentation.

Mesotherapy

The peculiarity of this method of getting rid of age spots is that the procedure is aimed at improving regeneration processes, which, in turn, help lighten the spots. Mesotherapy is microinjections of beneficial drugs that rejuvenate the skin and improve its condition. The doctor selects the composition of the injection individually, according to the needs of the patient’s skin. The basis of the injection is hyaluronic acid, as well as pigment lightening substances. To eliminate stains, you need to undergo a course of injections - 6-10 procedures.

Different types of peelings

Cleansing the skin from the upper layers of dead epidermis is an effective way to quickly lighten age spots or even completely eliminate them. Different types of peeling are used: acid, chemical, laser, each of which has its own characteristics. The essence of the procedure is the same: special products remove the top layer of skin, which contains excess pigment. After cleaning, the new skin does not have annoying hyperpigmentation.

Laser peeling is considered the most effective, however, it is very painful, since the skin is polished using a laser beam. More gentle, but no less effective, is chemical peeling, during which the top layer is exfoliated using a solution of various acids. The procedure can vary in the degree of penetration into the layers of the skin, depending on the depth of the pigment; to completely eliminate the stain, it may take from 3 to 6 procedures.

Light technologies

Phototherapy of pigment spots
Phototherapy is an effective and safe way to remove increased skin pigment. The procedure is completely painless, the patient only sees flashes of light. The essence of the method is that a beam of light with a certain wave frequency affects hyperpigmented areas of the skin and destroys dark cells, the renewed skin no longer has an intense shade. The result becomes noticeable after two procedures, complete elimination of the stain occurs after 6-8 repetitions.

Elos

Elos is the latest technology based on a combination of radio and thermal wave therapy. The effect of Elos therapy is noticeable instantly. Removal of pigment spots in the deep layers of the skin occurs by destroying excessively colored cells. The patient does not experience any discomfort during the procedure, only slight heat in the treatment area. The technology not only eliminates defects, but also rejuvenates the skin, making it firmer and healthier. Immediately after the procedure, the result is visible, but to completely eliminate the stain, 2-3 repetitions of the procedure are usually required.

Application of nitrogen

Removing pigmentation with liquid nitrogen is already a traditional method for cosmetology. The process involves removing the top layers of skin that contain pigment. The technology has proven its effectiveness and is characterized by its simplicity and relatively low cost.

Stages of the procedure

Mesotherapy always begins with skin preparation. To do this, cosmetics and dirt are removed from it, and then it is treated with a disinfectant solution of Chlorhexidine. When performing injection mesotherapy methods, the skin is first numbed with a local anesthetic in the form of a cream, the effect of which most often occurs within 10-15 minutes and lasts for several hours.

The device used in the procedure is also pre-treated with an antiseptic to ensure the safety of the session.

Then the mesotherapy itself begins according to the algorithm of the selected technology, which are described above. The procedure usually takes no more than twenty minutes, and at the end of the session, the remaining drug is removed from the skin, it is treated with a disinfectant solution and a soothing lotion is applied.

Healing period

Regardless of what technology you used to perform mesotherapy, after visiting the salon it is important to pay attention to following skin care recommendations:

1. For 4 hours, refrain from washing and applying any cosmetics.
2. For 7 hours, stop smoking, drinking alcohol, energy drinks, and coffee.
3. Avoid visiting a bathhouse, sauna, swimming pool, or taking a hot bath for 3 days.
4. Do not sunbathe while undergoing a course of mesotherapy
5. Stop taking blood thinners.

If you follow the recommendations after the session, you will not only prevent the occurrence of consequences, but also increase the efficiency of assimilation of the beneficial substances of the meso-cocktail.

How is mesotherapy performed by a cosmetologist?

Due to the fact that mesotherapy disrupts the integrity of the skin, injections must be carried out by a professional cosmetologist.

To carry out mesotherapy, carefully select a cosmetology clinic that has been conducting such procedures for several years and has experienced cosmetologists on its staff..

Mesotherapy for pigmentation is carried out as follows:

the active substance is selected depending on the type of pigmentation,

the surface of the skin is disinfected using an antiseptic,

if necessary, an anesthetic is administered,

the cosmetologist pricks the pigmented area with a very small needle to a depth of 2-3 mm,

After the procedure, the skin is treated with an anti-inflammatory agent.

A course of mesotherapy to completely get rid of age spots ranges from 5 to 10 sessions, depending on the age of the spot.

To avoid unpleasant consequences after mesotherapy in the form of inflammation, irritation, allergies, follow the skin care recommended by your cosmetologist.

Precautionary measures

When performing the procedure at home, it is important to first pay attention to choosing a high-quality meso-cocktail that does not contain toxic and aggressive components.

Also, when working with the device, periodically change the direction of its movement - vertically, horizontally, obliquely. This is the only way to achieve complete elimination of age spots.

If you experience any discomfort during or after the procedure, consult your doctor to avoid a serious reaction from the body.

Types of age spots

Pigmentation can appear at any age. Each age has its own characteristic age spots. The following types of age spots can be distinguished:

freckles

Yes, yes, freckles are also pigmentation. It’s just that everyone knows them from childhood and they are not always a cosmetic defect. But if desired, it is quite possible to lighten them.

chloasma (melasma)

Hyperpigmentation without age. These spots can occur in both young girls and adult women. These are brown spots ranging from light to very dark. It all depends on the time the stain appears and the cause.

senile lentigo

This is senile pigmentation, which appears during the aging process of the human body. Spots appear in both women and men.

Before removing pigmentation yourself, consult a doctor to rule out the malignant nature of age spots!

pigmentation in pregnant women

The pregnancy mask is a common occurrence among pregnant women. Such spots often disappear after childbirth.

vitiligo

Pigmentation in the form of light milky spots. At home it is practically not removed. The help of professionals and complex treatment using medications and cosmetics are needed.

birthmarks and moles

I categorically do not recommend removing such pigmentation at home. There is a high risk of their degeneration into a malignant form. Only a professional can determine the need to remove them!

Contraindications

Before performing any cosmetic procedure, it is important to pay attention to the contraindications that are prescribed for it in order to avoid negative consequences.

There are quite a lot of health restrictions to mesotherapy:

• Diabetes;
• Pregnancy and lactation;
• Low blood clotting rate;
• Fungal diseases;
• Herpes;
• Infectious and chronic diseases;
• Dermatological diseases;
• Allergic reaction to the components of the meso-cocktail used.

To ensure that there is no individual intolerance to any substances contained in the drug used, you should first perform a test. To do this, the meso-cocktail is applied to the inner surface of the elbow for 3 hours, then the composition is washed off, and the skin is checked for side effects.

Consequences

Most often, after performing the procedure, some side effects appear on the skin associated with mechanical effects on sensitive tissue. They manifest themselves in the form of redness, swelling, and thickening in the areas where the epidermis is punctured.

This skin reaction subsides within 1-3 days and usually does not cause discomfort to the girl.

Complications

Negative consequences after mesotherapy can occur when using a low-quality drug, illiterate administration, or failure to comply with contraindications for health reasons.

Complications can be expressed by the following problems:

1. Allergic reaction.
2. Effect on the nervous system.
3. Increase in local or general temperature.
4. The occurrence of inflammatory processes.
5. Reaction from the gastrointestinal tract.
6. Reaction of the liver and kidneys.

In the presence of existing diseases and inflammations, the risk of their aggravation increases.
