Skin Whitening Secrets: Get Rid of Hyperpigmentation Forever!

Fashion, as we know, is fickle. The popularity of chocolate tanning is gradually fading into oblivion. Less and less often you can meet ardent fans of solariums, bronzing powder and cosmetic products for self-tanning. More and more often, women are thinking about how to maintain a light, delicate, healthy complexion on their face and body. The times of the cult of snow-white skin, which was once considered an indispensable attribute of aristocracy, sophistication and nobility, are returning. Porcelain skin is also a symbol of purity, innocence and youth. Is it any wonder that stylists and makeup artists all over the world are increasingly putting the image of a white-skinned beauty on a pedestal?

One should not discount the results of recent research by scientists who have found that kisses from the sun are not so harmless. Excessive predilection for golden skin tone is fraught with early aging. Based on the above, it becomes obvious that it is unreasonable to limit yourself to only whitening procedures. It is important to protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation.

What can we do to maintain a light, radiant and healthy complexion?

• Forget about tanning. Remember that both tanning beds and exposure to the sun can cause damage to your skin.
• Love wide-brimmed hats. Don't forget this accessory when you go outside in the summer.
• Let a product with a high degree of protection against UV rays be in your cosmetic bag all year round. Use it every time you get ready to go outdoors. After all, even in winter, the sun's rays dry out the skin, destroy healthy proteins, promoting premature aging.

Not only ladies who are struggling with unwanted dark skin are interested in whitening procedures. Skin whitening is also relevant for those who are concerned about the appearance of age spots during pregnancy, want to eliminate freckles, the effects of acne, age-related pigmentation, and also cope with the first signs of skin aging.

Chemical peeling for skin whitening

The effectiveness of chemical peeling as a means for skin whitening is explained by the fact that during the procedure the active substance softens and then exfoliates the keratinized cells of the surface layer of the epidermis, where, as a rule, the maximum amount of pigment is located. The session technique involves the use of a complex of fruit, lactic, glycolic and salicylic acids, selected individually for each patient.

Chemical peeling not only whitens the skin, but also heals it, normalizing hydrobalance and increasing elasticity.

To whiten the skin, cosmetologists at the Abrielle clinic use superficial chemical peeling with AHA KOJIC 50% produced by the American company MED PEEL. The product has proven itself to be a completely safe product for the patient’s health, which can be used for normal, sensitive, dry and aging skin.

The impressive effectiveness of AHA KOJIC 50% is ensured by the presence of kojic acid, which blocks tyrosinase and prevents the formation of age spots. In addition, the drug contains the following components: deionized water, lactic and glycolic acid, bearberry extract, licorice extract, citric and malic acid, sodium hydroxide, xanthan gum, sodium lactate, caprylyl glycol, potassium sorbate, phenoxyethanol, exilene glycol.

Face whitening

Women most often resort to facial whitening. This procedure is of great importance for young ladies with blond hair, who look great with pale skin. Nowadays, cosmetics intended for face whitening include lactic acid, hydroacids, citric acid and other necessary substances that every housewife has.

Kojic acid works best to remove melanin from the epidermis. But it can cause a severe allergic reaction. Therefore, you need to use it carefully. Bearberry leaves contain arbutin. This substance does not cause allergies, but does not whiten as well as kojic acid.

To avoid causing skin irritation, you can use the following substances: grape extract, citric acid, paper mulberry extract, aloe and licorice extract, cucumber and grapefruit juice.

Skin whitening using photorejuvenation

Photorejuvenation using diode and neodymium lasers also shows excellent results in the fight against hyperpigmentation and uneven skin color. In this case, unwanted spots on the skin are eliminated thanks to the thermal effect of the laser beam, which specifically targets specific components of the dermis (pigments). In this case, no damage to the epidermis occurs, so the patient does not experience pain during the session.

The Abrielle Clinic uses lasers of the most modern developments: MedioStar NeXT and Magic 3 devices. During the procedure, the devices generate energy in the form of ultrashort pulses, which is absorbed by melanin and partially hemoglobin. The high power shock waves produced by the laser destroy the pigment. In this case, the impulses do not have any effect on surrounding tissues. In addition, the laser energy warms up the layers of the skin, which entails stimulation of the process of cell renewal and activation of the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers. As a result of a course of sessions using neodymium and diode lasers, skin areas with hyperpigmentation first lighten, and later the spots completely disappear.

Which whitening cream is best?

When choosing a skin whitening cream, pay attention to the presence and concentration of active ingredients that exfoliate and whiten the skin. These will be:

• Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant that supports the fight against free radicals and thus slows down the aging process. It gently exfoliates and inhibits melanin synthesis, which causes discoloration. Cosmetics with vitamin C are a good addition to acid and retinol treatments. They also enhance the effects of sunscreens, so they are best used during the day.
• Azelaic acid is an ingredient found in many anti-discoloration creams, especially acne products. It inhibits the proliferation of melanocytes, fights bacteria responsible for the development of acne, and normalizes skin peeling processes.
• Retinol - accelerates the process of creating new cells, thereby brightening and smoothing the skin. It is also one of the most effective firming and anti-wrinkle agents in cosmetics. It is indispensable in the fight against photoaging, so it works best with sun protection creams.
• Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3. It is an extremely versatile beauty ingredient that reduces discoloration, stimulates collagen production in the skin, has anti-inflammatory properties, soothes erythema and tightens sebaceous glands.

These ingredients contained in anti-pigmentation creams have a long-lasting effect - they are very effective, but it takes time to show their full spectrum of action. Use them over several months, in winter, fall and early spring, when the skin is not exposed to high doses of sunlight.

The most effective face whitening cream can be expensive, but you don’t have to overpay, because there are a lot of affordable and good products. Regular use is often more important than price. Every woman needs to regularly apply the product locally or all over the face for at least several weeks.

Mesotherapy for skin whitening

Another technique with which the clinic’s specialists manage to give patients’ skin a lighter and more uniform shade is mesotherapy. The essence of the procedure is to introduce whitening complexes into the deep layers of the skin using very thin needles.

Mesotherapy sessions for skin lightening at the Abrielle clinic are carried out with the drug F-RADIANCE, which is a meso-cocktail from the Spanish FUSiON line. The product provides both cosmetic and therapeutic effects. The optimally balanced composition of F-RADIANCE allows you to lighten the skin, improve complexion, and eliminate hyperpigmentation.

Mesococktail F-RADIANCE has the following composition: sodium ascorbate (sodium salt of ascorbic acid) 3%, glycolic acid 0.25%, glutathione 0.5%, kojic acid 0.05%, azelaic acid 0.05%, alpha-arbutin 0 .05%, licorice extracts 0.5% and bearberry extracts 0.5%.

Practice shows that often eliminating age spots, especially those associated with age-related skin changes, is not an easy task. The most effective way to deal with this cosmetic defect is through an integrated approach, which involves a competent combination of various techniques.

Skin whitening using mesopeeling procedure

The specialists of the Abrielle clinic have adopted the advanced technology of mesopeeling (mesopil), which is based on a combination of mesotherapy and peeling. The combination of these procedures allows you to enhance and consolidate the results of each of them, providing a three-dimensional effect and excellent skin whitening in a short time. This unique technique can also play the role of a lifesaver for those who will soon attend an important event. After all, the procedure performed 2-3 days before the celebration will make your skin radiant, fresh and rested.

Mesopeeling involves performing chemical peeling and mesotherapy in one session. After chemical peeling, the beneficial components of the cocktail introduced during mesotherapy easily penetrate into the deep layers of the dermis. In turn, the chemical composition that is used to treat the skin during the peeling procedure has a deeper effect on the skin in those places where the drug was injected during mesotherapy.

The mesopiling course consists of 7 mesotherapy sessions and 8 chemical peeling sessions. There are 4-8 day breaks between procedures.

1st procedure

: chemical peeling, which includes the following steps:

• thorough cleansing of the skin;
• degreasing;
• application of a chemical intended for peeling;
• neutralization of the chemical composition;
• post-peeling care with soothing “Alo-gel”, natural squalene oil, intense moisturizing serum based on hyaluronic acid, anti-aging serum with ultraviolet protection factor.

2-8 procedures

• cleansing the skin;
• pain relief with Emla cream;
• injection of F-RADIANCE into problem areas;
• chemical peeling;
• neutralization of peeling;
• post-peeling care with soothing “Alo-gel”, natural squalene oil, intense moisturizing serum based on hyaluronic acid, anti-aging serum with ultraviolet protection factor.

At the end of each session, the restoring gel “Alo-gel” (“Holy Land”) is applied to the skin in order to:

• accelerate the healing of microdamages and stimulate skin regeneration;
• provide a calming effect on the skin, relieve irritation, eliminate inflammation, reduce itching, hypermia;
• replenish moisture loss, enhance skin tone, provide a lifting effect.

The product is enriched with biologically active components, including bioactivated aloe, vitamins A, B and C, enzymes, amino acids, antioxidants and salicylic acid. It prevents inflammation, stimulates rapid restoration of the skin, healing of microdamages, moisturizes the skin, protects and soothes it. The gel contains hydrolyzed elastin and collagen, thanks to which the drug has the ability to improve the quality of the skin: increase its elasticity, give it softness, fill it with life-giving moisture, optimize its structure, fight wrinkles and prevent the formation of age-related signs. The plant substitute for placenta extract contained in the gel acts as an unsurpassed biological stimulant with moisturizing, restoring, tightening and rejuvenating properties.

Body and armpit whitening

In order to whiten the skin in intimate places and not only (armpits, bikini, abdomen) from unnatural color after sunbathing, various improvised products are used at home that contain mild acids that act directly on the middle layers of the epidermis.

1. You can whiten darkened skin with simple Vaseline. It adheres well to the dermis, is inexpensive and is known for its high effectiveness. But this option is not suitable for girls with oily skin, because... the substance clogs pores and prevents the sebaceous glands from working normally. Repeat no more than 2-3 times a month.
2. To get rid of pigmentation on the body, you need to regularly perform procedures that scrub the dermis. The product made from corn flour has proven itself well. Mix corn flour with egg white, apply to the décolleté, thighs, abdomen, buttocks. After an hour, the mixture will completely harden and a dense layer will form, which will help you get rid of scars, wrinkles, moles, and acne. Use no more than once a week.
3. An excellent cream that whitens the skin on the entire body, even from self-tanning, can be prepared using lemon juice, baby moisturizer, glycerin and sugar. Dilute 1 spoon of sugar in lemon juice, stir until dissolved, then mix with three spoons of cream and an ampoule of glycerin (5 grams). Apply to the entire body after a shower, do not rinse. This product will soothe the sensitive dermis, help dry skin get saturated with moisture, and remove dark spots.

Photo - Lightening armpits
To lighten the body in certain areas, you can use citric acid. For a spoonful of powder we will need half a spoonful of mineral water, stir. The result is a very acidic solution, which is what we call dark spots. This method is not suitable for dry skin, but it will be a real boon for combination skin.

Skin lightening using a combination of mesotherapy and photorejuvenation

Practice shows that hyperpigmentation can be easily corrected using a set of photorejuvenation and mesotherapy procedures.

Treatment includes:

1. Injections of a meso-cocktail consisting of lightening components. Four mesotherapy sessions (with an interval of 14 days) are carried out alternately with phototherapy procedures.
2. Lightening pigment spots using laser energy (photorejuvenation). Four sessions of laser therapy (with an interval of 14 days) are carried out alternately (every 1 week) with mesotherapy procedures.

The complex action of two methods provides a pronounced result:

• mesococktail injections improve the quality of the skin: increase its turgor and increase elasticity;
• Thanks to phototherapy, pigment is actively destroyed, and small capillaries on the skin in the facial area are sealed (vasoconstriction occurs).
