Erasing the Imprints of the Sun
The calendar reminds that summer travels to other parts of the planet. But he left his imprints on the mirror...
Endless hours at the beach created dark spots and discolorations on your fair skin, fine lines that didn't exist, while old wrinkles became more pronounced on skin that lost its elasticity.
Photoaging, the premature aging of the skin, due to its exposure to sunlight and not due to the normal wear and tear of time, as dictated by dna, occurs when ultraviolet radiation or the solarium damages the structure of the skin.
Sunspots & Ultraviolet Radiation
Spots and skin pigmentation are small flat dark areas on the skin, the result of the reaction of melanocytes to ultraviolet radiation.
They appear mainly on parts of the body that are exposed to the sun such as the face, shoulders, arms and hands.
The spots are created by overactive melanocytes, which cause disturbances in the production process of melanin, the natural pigment that gives color to the skin.
Sun spots and skin pigmentation are usually harmless.
However, because they resemble skin cancer, it is good to visit a dermatologist before deciding to start any treatment.

Wrinkles the First Symptom of Damage
One of the first, if not the first, signs of damage caused by solar radiation, are wrinkles on the skin. UV rays cause free radicals to develop in the skin, destroying elastin fibers and contributing to wrinkles and possibly skin cancer.
In general, people with fair skin are more susceptible to the appearance of wrinkles than people who have dark skin.
The truth is that we are all susceptible to photoaging. However, the amount of damage it has caused to your skin depends on the length of time you have been exposed to the sun, your skin type and the amount of sunshine where you live.
Sun damage to your skin makes you look older.
The correct assessment of your skin condition by the dermatologists of Facemed Clinic will save you from wasted time and lead you to the appropriate treatment.
Treatments that can instantly rejuvenate the skin in the summer are Dermapen and Mesotherapy.
Dermapen: The «magic» pen
Dermapen, the famous pen that "erases" many skin problems, is one of the most modern treatments.
Dermapen treatment is an ideal option for improving the appearance of the skin, reducing the appearance of spots, skin pigmentation and skin discoloration.
Dermapen's advanced microneedling technology mimics the body's natural ability to produce collagen to heal skin injuries.
The doctor uses a microneedling device, which consists of a pen at the tip of which there are tiny needles and causes controlled micro-traumas in selected areas of the upper layer of the skin.
In this way, the production of elastin and collagen is triggered and the surface layers of the skin are corrected, which now looks healthier and more alive.
