If you love basking under the sun, then you’ve probably noticed the change in your skin color. If you notice more freckles every time you visit the beach, then you’re one of the millions of people who are developing “age spots”.
Also known as sun spots, liver spots, or pigment spots, these spots cause the skin to appear years older than it actually is. These appear as brown specks which are similar to freckles. They appear in areas which are most commonly exposed to the sun – the face, hands, shoulders and back. They can range from light brown to red. To get rid of them, you will need to get a special skin treatment that will help your skin pigment return to normal.
Anti pigment treatment involves the use of simple cosmetic procedures, products and anti-skin aging creame. Among the most common skin treatment for pigment spots are laser surgery, microdermabrasion, chemical peels and bleaching crème.
Laser surgery or laser resurfacing uses an intense pulsating beam of light that vaporizes the outer layer of skin (the epidermis). It also heats the dermis (the underlying skin) which prompts the skin to produce more collagen and elastin. This procedure is used to remove wrinkles, scars and pigment spots.
Microdermabrasion is probably one of the most popular non-invasive cosmetic procedures used today. This procedure uses fine crystals to remove the uppermost layers of the epidermis, the stratum corneum. Sometimes, other skin treatment may be necessary, but it all depends on the extent of the skin damage.
Chemical peel uses a chemical solution to remove the damaged outer skin. It is helpful for individuals who have facial blemishes, and uneven skin pigment. Lastly, bleaching crème such as those with hydroquinone lightens the skin by inhibiting the production of melamin and by breaking down the excess melamin found in the pigment spots in the skin.
