The calendar reminds us that summer is traveling to other parts of the planet. But it left its imprints in the mirror… Endless hours on the beach created dark spots and discolorations on your fair skin, fine lines that weren't there before, while old wrinkles became more pronounced on skin that lost its elasticity. Photoaging, meaning the premature aging of the skin due to sun exposure rather than the natural wear and tear of time dictated by DNA, occurs when ultraviolet radiation or solarium damages the skin's structure.
Sun Spots & Ultraviolet Radiation Spots and age spots are small, flat, dark areas on the skin , resulting from the reaction of melanocytes to ultraviolet radiation. They appear mainly on body parts exposed to the sun such as the face , shoulders , arms , and hands . Spots are created by overactive melanocytes , which cause disturbances in the production process of melanin , the natural pigment that gives color to the skin. Spots and age spots caused by the sun are usually harmless. However, because they resemble skin cancer , it is advisable to visit a dermatologist before deciding to start any treatment.
Wrinkles: The First Symptom of Deterioration One of the first, if not the first, signs of damage caused by solar radiation is wrinkles on the skin. UV rays cause the development of free radicals in the skin, destroying elastin fibers and contributing to the formation of wrinkles and potentially skin cancer . Generally, individuals with fair skin are more susceptible to wrinkles compared to those with darker skin. The truth is that we are all susceptible to photoaging . However, the extent of the damage caused to your skin depends on the duration you have spent unprotected in the sun, your skin type, and the amount of sunshine in the place where you live. The damage caused by sun radiation to your skin makes you appear older. Proper evaluation of your skin's condition by dermatologists will save you time and lead you to the appropriate treatment . Treatments that can immediately rejuvenate the skin in summer include 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 choice for improving skin appearance, reducing the presence of spots , age spots , and discolorations on the skin. The advanced Dermapen microneedling technology mimics the body's natural ability to produce collagen to heal skin injuries. The doctor uses a state-of-the-art microneedling device, which consists of a pen with microscopic needles at its tip, creating controlled micro-injuries in selected areas of the skin's upper layer. This process triggers the production of elastin and collagen , correcting the superficial layers of the skin, which then appears more healthy and vibrant . Read also...

Mesotherapy: Deep Rejuvenation Mesotherapy , which ideally combines with microneedling , penetrates deeper into the skin, specifically into the middle layer, as its name suggests. This injectable , non-invasive treatment is an ideal choice for healthy and radiant skin . A cocktail of nourishing ingredients, recommended by a Facemed Clinic physician based on your skin's needs, is delivered to the skin through the treatment's microscopic needles. The benefits of mesotherapy include improved skin texture , deep hydration , and the smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles that tired facial skin often needs after summer.

What is the ideal season to get a Dermapen facial?
It is preferable to apply the treatment during the winter months, when sun exposure is limited. However, the use of sunscreen is mandatory, as with all facial treatments.
How often should facial mesotherapy be performed?
It must be understood that mesotherapy is a foundation for all other treatments you may undergo on your face. We usually start with 3 mesotherapy sessions, performed at 1-month intervals, to give a boost to the desired result. This triple set of treatments can be repeated twice a year. Another very popular treatment schedule is the application of one mesotherapy session every 2-3 months. The intervals may seem frequent, but skin nourishment and revitalization are ongoing needs that require attention, and mesotherapy achieves this.
