PIGMENTATION AND BLEMISHES

How Can Aesthetic–Facial and Body Rejuvenation Help Me Get My Dream Complexion?

Flawless skin is considered a hallmark of youth, vitality, and health. Yet, it rarely comes naturally, despite our best efforts. Nearly everyone has at least a few dark spots, red areas, textural irregularities, or other imperfections on their face or body. Factors such as age, sun exposure, or dermatological conditions can cause additional problems with pigmentation and blemishes. Both Men and Women of West Tennessee can look to Aesthetic–Facial and Body Rejuvenation to help with effective solutions.

WHAT IS HYPERPIGMENTATION?

Hyperpigmentation is a common, usually harmless condition in which patches of skin become darker in color than the normal surrounding skin. This darkening occurs when an excess of melanin, the brown pigment that produces normal skin color, forms deposits in the skin. Hyperpigmentation can affect the skin color of people of any race. There are many different types of hyperpigmentation. Some of the different types include:

PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation)

This is a familiar problem for people who have struggled with severe acne. Those little discolored spots that remain for months or years after pimples heal are not true scars. Instead, they are PIH, which is an overproduction of pigment caused by prolonged inflammation. This can also develop after wounds, burns, surgery, or any other skin trauma that involves inflammation

EPHELIDES

Better known as freckles, these little skin spots are the most common form of hyperpigmentation. They can develop anywhere on the body, sometimes in great numbers. Freckles are harmless and some people consider them cute. However, for people desiring even-toned skin, freckles are problematic and difficult to hide with makeup.

SOLAR LENTIGINES

These small, dark lesions are sometimes called liver spots or age spots. However, they are primarily caused by UV damage to the skin. They may develop anywhere on the body but are most common in areas that receive a considerable amount of sun exposure. Although solar lentigines are harmless to your health, they can develop into skin cancer, and therefore should be monitored by a healthcare professional.

WHAT ABOUT MY BLEMISHES?

A blemish may be virtually any cosmetically displeasing spot. Some of the most common complaints are related to pigmentation problems. However, acne, cold sores, scars, visible blood vessels, and other marks are also considered blemishes.While the treatments for each of these are very different, there is one all-encompassing solution, and that is to call Aesthetic–Facial and Body Rejuvenation today.Our team of aesthetic medical professionals is here to help you enjoy the confidence of feeling comfortable in your own skin. In fact, our services go beyond skin, with a variety of wellness solutions ranging from body contouring to hair loss treatment and much more.

IPL (INTENSE PULSED LIGHT)

Similar to laser therapy, but gentler and more versatile, IPL photo facial can resolve many skin blemishes without discomfort or downtime. The procedure works by applying broad-spectrum light, in short pulses. Various filters and other adjustments are used to customize the intensity and wavelengths of light, according to your specific needs. IPL can effectively target skin pigment, improving brown spots, uneven coloring, and more. It is also exceptional for the treatment of vascular lesions, such as red marks and general facial redness.

CHEMICAL PEEL

Extremely versatile and predictable, chemical peeling may be used to improve, rosacea, hyper-pigmentation, and many other types of skin blemishes. A moderate to deep peel can achieve rapid resurfacing without laser treatment, while mild peels can gently rejuvenate skin with no downtime. The depth of the peel is determined by the potency of active ingredients as well as the length of time it remains on the skin. Chemical peels generally contain some type of acid, which stimulates rapid cellular turnover. They also include therapeutic ingredients, designed to target various skin conditions. Some peels are specifically formulated to improve the complexion and fight pigmentation problems. Click here to learn more about Chemical Peels.

LED THERAPY

LED lamps target melanocytes, melanin-producing cells located in the bottom layer of the skin’s epidermis. They inhibit the production of excess melanin, prevent it from traveling to the skin’s surface, and break up melanin clusters to lessen existing discoloration. As a result, dark spots on your skin slightly fade away and your skin will get a more even skin tone. Click here to learn more about LED Therapy.
