Fall not only brings changes in the landscape, but also in skin health. After an intense summer, prolonged exposure to the sun can leave deep marks on our skin, such as melasma, hyperpigmentation, rosacea or couperose.
Although the sun may give us a beautiful glow at the moment, it can be the cause of unsightly and often difficult to manage conditions. Here's how to combat these problems and take care of our skin for the cold season from Dr. Amalia Anghel, Dermatovenerology primary care physician, PhD in Medical Sciences and expert in Medical Aesthetics.
How to combat hyperpigmentation, how melasma manifests itself, what medical treatment is required for rosacea and couperose and what are the most modern solutions for our skin, we found out from specialist Amalia Anghel, especially for Click!
Melasma is one of the most common post-summer skin conditions, especially in women. It is characterized by brown pigmentation spots on the forehead, cheeks, periocular area or above the upper lip. Uncontrolled exposure to UV rays, hormonal changes or genetic predisposition are the main contributing factors.
Dr. Amalia Anghel explains that melasma should be treated gently:
"There are a number of modern procedures, such as chemical peels, the ClearLift laser or depigmenting mesotherapy, that can significantly help to fade these spots." explains the specialist.
"But treatment is only part of the solution. Rigorous photoprotection and the use of SPF 50+ creams are essential to prevent the reappearance of pigmentation spots." says the doctor.
How do we fight hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is another common problem caused by sun exposure. It manifests as dark spots that appear on the skin due to excessive melanin production. The causes are varied: sun exposure, skin inflammation, ageing or hormonal changes. Advanced treatments, such as chemical acid peels, laser therapies and depigmenting products based on vitamin C and kojic acid, are effective solutions to fade hyperpigmentation.
"It is important to be consistent in our treatments and to protect our skin daily. Sun protection does not end with the fall. This once. Then, if sun spots are persistent, we can opt for professional treatments to speed up the fading process: chemical peeling, which involves applying stronger chemical solutions that exfoliate the top layer of the skin, reducing sunspots and stimulating skin regeneration; laser therapy like ClearLift can help reduce hyperpigmentation by targeting melanin pigment; microneedling, a procedure that stimulates skin regeneration by creating small, controlled lesions, which can help reduce hyperpigmentation." Underlines Dr. Amalia Anghel.
Rosacea and couperose - conditions requiring medical treatment
In addition to pigmentation spots, facial redness caused by cuperosis or rosacea is another common problem among patients. These conditions should be treated exclusively medically, warns Dr. Amalia Anghel.
"Advanced stages of rosacea can be very difficult to manage without specialist intervention. Vascular laser treatments and personalized routine care are essential to prevent worsening"explains the dermatologist.
Modern skin solutions, Geneo X and ClearLift
For those seeking fast and effective results, Amalia Anghel prescribes treatments with innovative technologies such as Geneo X and ClearLift. Geneo X, which combines gentle exfoliation with oxygenation and nutrient infusion, delivering a revitalized and radiant complexion.
"Geneo X is as essential for the skin as oxygen is for breathing. It is a state-of-the-art treatment using four advanced technologies - OxyGeneo, Tripollar RF, ESA and ultrasound - to meet all skin needs. This treatment is ideal for people who want to eliminate pigmentation spots, improve skin texture and stimulate cell regeneration", says the doctor.
At the same time, this treatment is the ideal solution for those who want to reduce pigmentation spots and signs of aging without discomfort and recovery time.
"Considered a "lunchtime facelift" treatment, theClearLiftesLaser is a non-invasive laser that requires no recovery time and is ideal for people with an active lifestyle. It uses advanced high-frequency laser technology that penetrates the deep layers of the skin without damaging the superficial layer. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, visibly reducing fine wrinkles, pigmentation spots and enlarged pores. ClearLift is effective not only for the face, but also for the neck, décolleté and hands - the areas most prone to premature ageing and hyperpigmentation", says the specialist, Dr. Amalia Anghel.
