subject: Skin Discoloration & Uneven Skin Tones: What Help Can You Get - Dr Lycka Article [print this page] Hi! This is DrHi! This is Dr. Barry Lycka, host and founder of yourcosmeticdoctor.tv. I'm so glad to be writing articles for you about some of the newest advances in the world of beauty and cosmetic surgery. In this article I provide an overview of the causes of skin discoloration and patches of uneven skin tones on your face as we all get older.
One of the things I see as people start to get older is skin discoloration and uneven skin tones - I start to see a lot of reds and browns in the skin. These start at the age of 30 and 40 and 50 and start making people look older as a result.
Now people tend to make a big mistake when they start getting these reds and browns, uneven skin tones and dark spots on the skin - they start putting on more makeup - which basically makes them look older which is not the goal of trying to look better ! It does exactly the opposite of what they are trying to achieve - people make some big mistakes with that.
So how can we help you with these reds and browns - the answer is quite simple if you see a qualified dermatologist.
The secret is with lasers. Lasers help target the red areas - these red areas are actually blood vessels and they are due to sunlight acting on the skin, thinning it out and causing blood vessels to proliferate, getting bigger and bolder.
With laser treatment to remove unwanted blood vessels, the laser will literally seal those blood vessels. In the old days the lasers used would literally target the blood vessels and 'blow em up' and they would be bruised for weeks ....now we have lasers that literally seal them and a person looks better without any downtime.
The browns are a more difficult item, because they are 'melanocytes' - brown pigment producing cells in the skin, that start to produce too much pigment, and they transfer it to the other skin cells.
One of the things that we see as we get older, is that we get these brown spots on our cheeks, and on the upper lip and these start making a person look really bad and they really hate this - people will come up to a person who has melasma and say 'whats that dirt on your face'? And it really embarasses them no end.
Now the good news is that we can actually target these brown spots - we have laser removal of pigmented spots that can make it go away quickly. We have cream programs that can actually get inside the cells and prevent it from re-forming.
So with these treatments for skin discoloration and uneven skin tones, we can make a lot of difference with the way the skin looks and feels. We can make people look much younger, we can help people feel sexy again where they haven't felt or looked sexy for a while because of the way that their skin looked.
