Skin pigmentation is one of the most common aesthetic problems that both men and women face. The reasons for its appearance can be different: from hereditary and hormonal factors to exposure to ultraviolet rays. Dermatovenerologist and cosmetologist at the Darmed clinic Elena Ignatieva told socialbites.ca how to get rid of age spots and prevent their reappearance.

“The first and fundamental step in combating pigmentation is the regular use of products with SPF protection. Sunscreens are an integral part of daily skin care, especially for those who are faced with the problem of age spots. Brightening creams containing active ingredients such as tranexamic acid, niacinamide, vitamins C and E can help even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of age spots,” he explained.

The doctor recommended that patients with severe pigmentation resort to professional cosmetic procedures.

“Phototherapy is effective in combating pigmentation, using light of a specific spectrum to destroy dark pigment. Phototherapy also improves skin tone and turgor and evens out skin tone in general. The beautician notes that the doctor may also prescribe laser procedures such as fractional laser or laser pigmentation removal.

In addition to hardware cosmetic procedures, Elena Ignatieva also recommended paying attention to mesotherapy and peelings.

“Mesotherapy, which involves injecting brightening and moisturizing cocktails under the skin, not only lightens pigmentation but also improves the overall condition of the skin. Peels containing glycolic, lactic and mandelic acid help lighten spots by renewing the upper layers of the skin,” he said.
