How to remove unsightly discoloration from the skin after sunbathing too much or after pregnancy? In addition to the most commonly used methods (creams, peels, microdermabrasion), laser therapy is becoming popular. This is currently the most effective method of removing stains from the skin.

Methods for removing skin discoloration

Dr. Marek Wasiluk lists several commonly used methods of removing discoloration:

You can usecreams , but in fact it is only a way to support proper treatment. In turn,peels , e.g. the very popular Cosmelan, mostly work only by dissolving the dye, without eliminating the long-term cause of discoloration, i.e. overproduction of melanin. For this reason, the discoloration after them disappears, but the effects usually last only until the next exposure to the sun.Microdermabrasionis a mechanical peeling which exfoliates the epidermis, so it can only be used in the case of very shallow discoloration. A deeper procedure is risky and may result in serious complications in the form of scars and even more extensive spots. The most advanced and effective method islaser therapy . Personally, in my office I have several specialized lasers designed to remove pigmentation spots, including the most modern copper bromide laser.

Laser therapy: a safe and permanent method of removing skin discoloration

Laser, unlike other methods, is selective. This means that its light affects only the pigment in the discoloration and bypasses he althy parts of the skin. Thanks to this, the treatment is safe and very effective. The pigmentation spot, absorbing the laser radiation, is damaged and after about three weeks is excreted from the body - this is how the skin becomes lightened. It is also worth knowing that the laser not only removes discoloration, but also can reduce the number of pigment cells (if there is an excess of them) and regulates the work of "overactive" melanocytes that produce too much melanin alone.

Thanks to such regulation of the work of skin cells, the method not only heals changes, but also eliminates themthe reason for their formation. It should also be added that the number of laser treatments depends on the type of discoloration. Stronger therapy can be applied to the permanent changes. Then one to two exposures is enough.

Each discoloration is different - how to choose the right treatment method?

Depending on whether the stains are shallow (found in the epidermis), deep (rooted in the dermis) or the most difficult to remove (hormonal discoloration, such as melasma) - you can use various treatments and methods to remove them.

Dr. Marek Wasiluk from the Triclinium Center for Modern Medicine in Warsaw reveals that the basis for the treatment of discoloration is good diagnostics.

A common mistake is to treat all discolorations with the same measure, and thus - to remove them regardless of their type with the same method. Meanwhile, the best, most effective and safest solution is to choose the right treatment for the type of lesion. It is during an appropriate and thorough examination and interview with the patient that I am able to determine how deep the discoloration is and what is the cause of their appearance. Only then do I set up a treatment plan that not only removes pigmentation spots, but also eliminates the factor that caused them. " First, we should check if we have any hormonal changes. If they are present, then the body should be "adjusted" in this regard. The next step is to lighten the skin with a properly selected method, and finally take care of prophylaxis that will protect against the reappearance of pigmentation spots.
