How to improve the quality of your skin

Good function of the skin results in a healthy appearance, and beauty starts in the skin.

Most of the alterations of the appearance of the skin occur as a result of signs of ageing, bad habits or excessive exposure to sun, as well hormonal changes in the case of acne or melasma. Therefore it is important to understand which part of the skin has changed in order to improve the condition and, as a result, improve the appearance of the skin. This is why a good diagnosis made by a medical professional is important in order to get the results you are looking for. Not all skin types respond in the same way to the same treatments and it is important to choose the right procedure to focus and treat the relevant function that is causing problems in the skin.

MAIN SIGNS OF AGEING

Rough texture
Sallow colour
Fine and coarse wrinkling
Irregular pigmentation
Dark spots (lentigines or keratoses)
Loss of elasticity
Spider veins (telangiectasia)
Sagginess

ROUGH TEXTURE.

This alteration of the skin occurs when the epidermis does not exfoliate properly and therefore does not renew correctly. This alters the texture of the skin and can look rough or dry. It is necessary to improve normal keratinisation and restore the skin barrier.

Recommended treatments are:

Chemical peels to promote cell renewal.
Mesotherapy with vitamins to give the skin nutrients to help restore the correct metabolism and help to grow and renew constantly.
Micro needling (Derma Pen) to stimulate collagen .
Exfoliate regularly.

SALLOW COLOUR.

With age, the cells which produce melanin and give colour to the skin start showing slow metabolism causing hypopigmentation and changing the colour of the skin. It is important to improve normal production of melanin.

Recommended treatments are:

Chemical peels to promote cell renewal.
Mesotherapy
IPL to rejuvenate and stimulate skin cell metabolism.

FINE WRINKLING

Fine wrinkles are caused when the skin loses its elasticity, particularly in areas where the muscular activity is regular from normal activities such as laughing, smiling, frowning, etc. It is important to improve hydration and collagen/elastin production.

Recommended treatments are:

Hyaluronic acid can be used as a dermal filler if it is necessary to restore lost volume, such as nasal labial folds or deep wrinkles.
Mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin.
Mesotherapy with vitamins to give skin nutrients it needs.
Chemical peels to help renew the skin.
PRP to regenerate the skin.
Anti-wrinkle injections to treat active wrinkles. It is not only necessary to repair the skin but also to relax the muscles to get a better result.

IRREGULAR PIGMENTATION

With ageing the melanocytes function can be altered causing age spots and hyperpigmentation. This is more common if you have had considerable exposure to the sun as this results in zones with augmented pigmentation. These zones could be in the face, neck, hands or other parts of the body. It is important to improve the proper function of melanocytes and also, decrease the hyperpigmentation to have a more homogeneous skin colour.

Recommended treatments are:

Chemical peels to renew skin and remove the pigmented cells.
Products to control melanin production, it could be Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Hydroquinone

Retinoic Acid, Kojic Acid

LOSS OF ELASTICITY.

One of the most common signs of ageing is the appearance of sagging skin or loss of definition, mainly in the jaw area. This is caused because the production of collagen and elastin slows down as we age, so the skin starts losing its architecture and firmness. It is important to stimulate the fibroblasts in the dermis to produce more collagen, of better quality, and give shape to the existing collagen.

Recommended treatments are:

Mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid (HA), this treatment stimulates hydration which promotes firmness and stabilizes the skin's architecture.
Mesotherapy with Polynucleotides, this treatment will stimulate collagen production. Collagen is made up primarily of amino acids, so it is very important in improving elasticity.
Radiofrequency is a treatment to improve the shape of collagen and can be combined with mesotherapy to increase the results.
PDO Threads is probably the fastest way to improve the sagging skin. These threads stimulate the production of collagen and help to create a net to give support and add firmness to the skin whilst also improving the shape.
Micro needling is a mechanical effect to increase the production of collagen and stimulate its renewal.
PRP is used to regenerate skin and improve its metabolism.
