Due to its structure, our skin requires care and effort, and it is a structure open to change enough to work wonders with the right choices and guidance. However, over time, it deforms due to environmental factors and aging and loses its former vitality.
Our skin, by its nature, demands care and effort and is receptive to changes that can work wonders with proper choices and guidance. However, over time, it undergoes deformation due to environmental factors and aging, losing its former vitality. Cleansers containing chemicals, smoking, and harmful sun rays damage our skin. Insufficient water intake, a sedentary lifestyle, and improper nutrition also create a fertile ground for the formation of skin blemishes. Taking good care of our skin, one of the most important parts of our body, is the best investment we can make in ourselves. So, how are those unwelcome skin blemishes treated?
Skin blemishes, which can be treated with both natural and medical applications, usually arise from acne scars remaining from adolescence or excessive, unprotected sun exposure. In women, due to hormonal changes during birth control pill use or pregnancy, the production of melanin, the skin's pigment, can increase, leading to spots on areas such as the forehead, bridge of the nose, cheeks, upper lip, and chin.
Some oral or topical medications and cosmetics can invite blemishes. Skin exposed to sunlight or solariums thickens to protect itself and increases melanin production. The skin's attempt to renew itself also increases blemishes. Age spots, which can appear in various sizes, from light brown to black, and with different diameters due to the sun's effect, also become active and emerge in old age. Moreover, blemishes caused by harmful sun rays, in particular, can lead to skin cancer in later stages. Skin cancer can primarily occur in sun-exposed areas of the skin, including the scalp, face, lips, ears, neck, chest, arms, and hands, as well as the legs in women. However, it can also develop in areas rarely exposed to daylight, such as the palms, under the fingernails and toenails, and the genital area.
On the other hand, burns, pimples, and acne wounds experienced by the skin can leave dark spots as they heal. These spots may be more pronounced in individuals with darker skin tones. Some surgical procedures create deep scars on the body, depending on the area treated.
Starting Treatment…
With advancing aesthetic and medical applications, skin rejuvenation and eliminating skin blemishes have become much easier. Before starting treatment, an expert must determine whether the blemish is deep or superficial. Identifying the condition of the blemish guides the choice of treatment method.
Most blemishes are located in both the superficial and deep layers of the skin. Therefore, combined treatments usually yield better results. For superficial blemishes, sometimes blemish-removing creams and superficial chemical peels may be sufficient. Both deep and superficial skin blemishes can be treated with high-tech devices. In treatment, skin tissue can be revitalized by using products that nourish the subcutaneous layer and support the increase of collagen and elastin tissue.
Treatment Methods Without Devices
Peeling, PRP therapy, Salmon DNA, mesotherapy, and creams are the most appropriate and permanent device-free treatment methods for your skin. With these treatments, administered in specific sessions by expert doctors according to the patient's needs, the desired appearance of the skin is achieved.
Peeling: Peeling, a superficial exfoliation process, reduces the number of melanin cells in the skin, allowing blemishes to lighten. Peels are typically applied in 6-8 sessions, with intervals of 1-2 weeks. It also rejuvenates, brightens, and revitalizes the skin, making it look better.
Stem Cell: For improving your skin's quality, strengthening its barrier, increasing its moisture, and even completely getting rid of sunspots and freckles, Stem Cell Therapy is a one-time and definitive solution. It is especially necessary to use creams with high protection factors, containing UVA and UVB. Additionally, skin tissue can be made more vibrant by using products that nourish the subcutaneous layer and support the increase of collagen and elastin tissue.
PRP Therapy: Growth factors are separated from the individual's own blood. When these growth factors are applied to the blemished area, they initiate a repair activity. While removing the cells causing the blemish, they accelerate cell regeneration.
Salmon DNA: This application strengthens the skin structure, increasing its elasticity and firmness. It regulates the skin's diminished moisture balance, providing a smooth, healthy appearance.
Mesotherapy: Offering an effective solution for revitalizing the skin and achieving a younger appearance, this procedure creates a revitalization movement in the skin tissue in an average of 4-6 sessions. It also helps lighten blemishes.
Creams: Creams containing particularly retinoic acid, vitamin C, and vitamin E have blemish-lightening properties. Blemish-removing creams should be prescribed by your doctor at an appropriate dose for your skin and used at night.
It should be remembered that even the most effective treatment for blemishes, while significantly reducing them, may not completely eliminate them. We define a 60-70% reduction in treatment outcome as the gold standard. Some skin blemishes may take longer to respond to treatment. Between sessions, blemish-reducing cream and sunscreen should be applied. Blemish treatment can be performed in many clinics, but treatment protocols applied by an expert in the field, using technological devices suitable for your blemish, and employing combined methods will yield much more successful results.
Before we conclude, let's remember. The application and results of these procedures may vary depending on each person's anatomy, physiognomy, and quality of life. Therefore, always consult an expert doctor before seeking support from any application.
