From acne and age spots.

Cosmetic procedures - in the most difficult cases

After acne and chickenpox, traces often remain on the face that damage the appearance of the skin. Even 5-7 years
ago, it was difficult to help such patients, however, modern advances in hardware cosmetology and pharmaceuticals
can almost completely solve this aesthetic problem.

Acne traces can be divided into 3 main types, and they are treated with completely different methods. This leads to the
fact that most patients seeking to get rid of spots on their own, are not satisfied with the result of treatment.
Therefore, how to remove acne marks on the face will primarily depend on the type of spots formed.

Types of spots formed after acne -

 Post-inflammatory erythema (red spots) –

this is the most common type of spots (Fig. 1-3), which is mainly characteristic of people with light skin tones. Such
spots have a color from pink to bright red or purple. They are formed due to persistent expansion / damage of blood
capillaries in the area of \u200b\u200binflamed hair follicles.

 Post-inflammatory pigmentation (fig. 4-5) -

such pigment spots have a brown tint, and are associated with excessive accumulation of pigment melanin in the area
of \u200b\u200bthe inflamed area of \u200b\u200bthe skin. Such spots often form precisely during periods of high
solar activity.

 Atrophic scars / scars (fig. 6) -

look like recesses on the surface of the skin. Such atrophic scars are formed due to impaired collagen synthesis in the
area of \u200b\u200binflamed hair follicles. In some cases, scarring can interfere with the synthesis of the melanin
pigment, which can lead to the development of hypopigmentation in such areas of the skin. Acne scars and chickenpox
scars are treated the same.

Below we will successively analyze the treatment of all these forms.

1. How to get rid of red spots after acne

As we have already said: such red spots have the professional name "post-inflammatory erythema", the formation of
which is associated with a persistent expansion of blood capillaries in the area of \u200b\u200binflamed skin.
Accordingly, the answer to the question: how to remove red spots from acne lies solely in the application of methods
associated with the destruction of damaged capillaries.

First of all, we are talking about the use of two types of special devices: vascular liquid dye lasers, as well. They work in
a similar way: high-frequency light pulses penetrate the surface layers of the skin and are absorbed by the hemoglobin
of the blood. This leads to the fact that in the expanded capillaries a large amount of thermal energy is released, which
leads to their coagulation. As a result, skin color is gradually restored to normal.

Examples of effective laser devices:

 Laser "Genesis" (Fig. 7-8) -

it is also a neodymium (YAG) laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm. This is an excellent vascular laser for red spots after
acne.

 KTP lasers -

One example of such a laser is the Compact laser. This is a neodymium (YAG) laser paired with a potassium titanyl
phosphate crystal (KTP) with a wavelength of 532 nm.

 Laser "Vbeam Perfecta" -

pulsed vascular liquid dye laser with a wavelength of 595 nm.

Liquid dye lasers are still slightly more efficient than IPL devices. But keep in mind that not all vascular lasers are the
same. The above - it helps with post-inflammatory erythema, because work on small vessels (capillaries). But there are
many other vascular lasers that work primarily on large vessels. Such lasers will not be very effective against red spots
after acne.

Important : Now advertised a lot of acne stain remover that you can buy at the pharmacy. Such skin-lightening agents
(based on azelaic acid, tyrosinase blockers, etc.) help only with brown age spots. In addition, in case of post-
inflammatory erythema, chemical peels should not be done, because you will get the exact opposite effect.

Theoretically, angioprotective agents can also have a positive effect. Such funds normalize the tone of the walls of
blood capillaries and thereby narrow their lumen. But the reviews of patients who have tested such remedies on red
spots from acne are in most cases negative. In any case, remember that red spots from acne usually go away without
any treatment themselves - in the period from 6 to 12 months.

Very important : The Internet is full of unprofessional tips that recommend treating acne marks with this remedy.
Microneedles of this agent, injuring the skin, lead to a sharp increase in blood circulation of the treated area. If you
have red spots after acne (post-inflammatory erythema), which is associated with the expansion of blood capillaries,
then the use of this tool will increase the intensity of red spots many times. In addition, needle-injured skin will be
significantly more sensitive to ultraviolet light, which means it will only increase skin pigmentation (unless you use sun
protection at the same time).

2. How to remove spots from brown acne

The appearance of brown spots after acne is associated with excessive formation of the pigment melanin in the
inflamed areas of the skin. This process is called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Normally, areas of
inflammatory hyperpigmentation usually go away on their own - in a period of 3 to 24 months.

Important : Earlier, doctors prescribed a cream with hydroquinone to lighten the spots (due to the lack of safer
products). Keep in mind that hydroquinone slows down the healing process of the skin, causes its irritation, can cause
scars and even skin cancer. The Internet is full of outdated information where this tool is recommended.
The best acne stain cream will undoubtedly be with retinoids, or with azelaic acid. Keep in mind that these drugs are
used primarily as therapeutic agents for acne. Therefore, using these funds correctly, you can not only get rid of
inflammatory hyperpigmentation, but also simply prevent the appearance of acne and acne.

How to get rid of acne marks very quickly -

Naturally, when using creams and lotions, the effect occurs slowly. If the speed of achieving the desired result is
important for you, then the answer to the question: how to get rid of acne marks in 1-2 procedures - you will achieve
the achievements of hardware cosmetology.

Methods based on the destruction of age spots –

IPL devices operate due to high-frequency light pulses of a certain wavelength, and Elos devices, in addition to light
pulses, also have an RF effect on age spots. Elos devices are multifunctional: different settings allow you to remove age
spots, and use the devices even for hair removal. Procedures with Elos are more comfortable and less painful
compared to the classic IPL.

Methods based on the removal of the surface layers of the epidermis –

Glycolic acid peels are particularly suitable. It not only contributes to faster skin renewal, but also has the property of
blocking the tyrosinase enzyme, which is necessary for the synthesis of melanin.

Acne scars and scars: how to remove

As a rule, acne and chickenpox scars on the skin are atrophic. Scars such as pits look. The appearance of such scars is
associated with a violation of collagen synthesis in the area of \u200b\u200binflamed hair follicles. Below we have
listed drugs for external use, as well as hardware cosmetology procedures that will solve this problem. To achieve a
better result - methods can be combined with each other.

1. Means for external use -

Sometimes small atrophic scars can disappear on their own over time (from 6 to 24 months). The likelihood of this
increases if the patient treats the skin with external preparations that can stimulate collagen synthesis in the dermal
layer of the skin.

Creams and lotions with retinoids (for example, with tretinoin) are the only drugs to date that have a proven effect on
collagen synthesis in the dermal layer of the skin. A weaker analogue of drugs with retinoids is this. The latter are much
easier and cheaper to buy, but they generally do not affect the synthesis of collagen.

As auxiliary means can be used -

The listed components, in general, will have little effect on the synthesis of collagen, but they will create more suitable
conditions for this in the skin.

Specialized creams for scars and scars –

you may also have heard that there are scars (for example, Dermatix, Contractubex, etc.). These creams are based on
moisturizing ingredients such as silicone or sodium heparin. Studies have shown that they are completely useless for
the treatment of already existing scars and scars, but somewhat reduce the risk of their formation during prophylactic
use.

But most importantly: the goal of these drugs is to prevent the formation of hypertrophic scars, the formation of which
is associated with excessive synthesis of collagen. Similar scars are formed, for example, after operations, traumatic
skin lesions. And after acne and chickenpox, atrophic scars form (in conditions of a decrease in collagen synthesis), and
therefore, with this pathology, this group of drugs will be absolutely ineffective.

Clearwin for acne scars: reviews

one example of completely ineffective products for acne scars and chickenpox scars is the Ayurvedic herbal remedy
Clearwin. This drug consists of plant extracts and a large number of different chemistry, but none of the components of
this miracle remedy a priori is able to smooth the skin. The only plus - reviews show that this cream has a whitening
effect, which means it will help reduce spots after acne.

2. Laser resurfacing of the face -

This is one of the most effective methods. The main thing is to choose the right type of laser. The procedure for laser
resurfacing of the skin in this case is best done only with two types of lasers -

Fractional type lasers stimulate collagen synthesis in the dermis better than others, and therefore atrophic scars after
acne and chickenpox are smoothed out, and the skin becomes smooth. In addition, this type of laser helps not only in
the matter of how to get rid of chickenpox scars or after acne, but also smoothes wrinkles on the face, makes the skin
more elastic and toned.

3. Chemical peeling procedures -

During chemical peeling, concentrated acids are applied to the skin, which corrode the upper layer of the skin and
allow the formation of a new healthy layer of the skin. As a result, the skin texture will become more even. Chemical
peels are usually divided into surface, medium and deep.

The depth of the peeling will be determined by the type of acid in the composition of the product, its concentration, as
well as the time of application to the skin. Superficial chemical peeling allows you to exfoliate only dead skin cells of
the surface (horny) layer of the epidermis. Such peelings can be done independently at home, but they will not help
much from atrophic scars. But such a peeling can save you from age spots after acne.

Medium and deep peels (Fig. 20) act much deeper, but at the same time they are more traumatic, and therefore
require longer recovery of the skin after the procedure. Such peelings cannot be carried out at home. It should be done
only by a cosmetologist / dermatologist.

4. Microdermabrasion -

Microdermabrasion works like a surface chemical peeling, only in this case the surface layers of the skin are removed
by sandblasting. The microdermabrasion apparatus creates an intense air stream that mixes with abrasive components.
As a result, the abrasive particles gently cut off the surface dead skin layer.

This method is much less effective than laser resurfacing or average chemical peeling, because it reduces the depth of
scars only by reducing the thickness of the stratum corneum of the epidermis. Its minus is that in order to maintain the
result, the procedure will need to be carried out regularly, after a certain amount of time. But it can be quite effective
with shallow atrophic scars.

5. Injections of intradermal excipients -

This method is suitable for very deep scars after acne and chickenpox. But in any case, it is best to carry out it only after
a course of 3-5 procedures for laser resurfacing of the skin with a fractional laser. The recesses remaining after grinding
can be filled with special intradermal fillers (fillers).

As fillers can be gels based on hyaluronic acid or collagen, as well as various synthetic materials. These are
biocompatible materials that are injected under the recesses and, as it were, raise the pits from the inside, thus
ensuring the skin is leveling. The disadvantage of this type of treatment is a short result, because fillers tend to dissolve
slowly.

The duration of the effect depends on the brand of filler. There are many, but the most common fillers are based on
hyaluronic acid gels (the duration of their effect is up to 1 year). But there are drugs that do not dissolve even after 5-
10 years, for example, the ArteFill preparation based on polymethyl-methacrylate microspheres.

6. Surgical treatment -

Many patients with severe forms of acne (for example, cystic) develop very deep atrophic scars. In this case, one of the
best treatment options may be surgical plastics with cosmetic stitches.

7. Folk remedies for acne scars -

Remember that before you decide to remove scars after acne - your skin should be absolutely healthy, that is, it should
not show the formation of new acne or acne. About how to get rid of scars after acne at home, we described above - in
the section "medicines for external use". These professional remedies (retinoids) are really effective, but have a
prescription.

Of course, you can not go to the dermatologist and do self-medication. But if you already have acne scars on your face,
then this is evidence of one perfect mistake - self-medication. Fans of women's forums usually do not learn from their
mistakes and immediately make another mistake - they also begin to independently treat the consequences of the
previous incompetent treatment, only the scars.

Usually such people resort to the following substances ...

 → lemon juice

→ apple cider vinegar

→ honey

→ scarlet faith

→ coconut, and other oils.

Acids (lemon juice and vinegar) have an exfoliating effect, only they are less effective and less safe than high-quality
professional glycolic peels for home use. Acid-based home remedies will not be effective against scars, but can help if
you are interested in how to remove red spots after acne. It is also worth knowing that absolutely any oil has a
comedogenic effect, i.e. they clog pores and contribute to the formation of acne.

How and why arise

Red spots on the face are the inflamed areas of the epidermis, in the cells of which the microcirculation of the blood is
disturbed.

Inflammation of the deep layers of the skin occurs when a large amount of sebum accumulates in the sebaceous gland.
The growth of microorganisms begins, to combat which the body sends white blood cells.

As a result of their “confrontation” pus is formed, around which the dermis becomes inflamed and acne (acne)
appears. In the affected areas, even after the healing of the rashes, the walls of small capillaries are damaged.
Increased blood flow and, at the same time, outflow is disturbed.

Thus, a violation of normal blood microcirculation leads to persistent redness in some areas of the skin.

Factors that provoke the appearance of acne, and. as a result, there are a lot of red spots on the face. We list them in
the table below.

Table - Causes of acne and red spots on the face.

Condition of occurrence Consequence Description

Puberty, thyroid disease hormonal and endocrine imbalance increased testosterone levels stimulate
hypersecretion of the sebaceous glands and an increase in sebum

Menstrual cycle progesterone production hormone makes the skin stretch, stimulates the sebaceous glands
and retains fat in the skin

Ovarian dysfunction and other diseases of the female reproductive system hypersensitivity to testosteronetestosterone
stimulates hypersecretion of the sebaceous glands and an increase in sebum

Stresses, increased physical activity, unhealthy diet, intense exposure to the skin by UV radiation immune system
failure activation of corynebacteria Acnes, yeast-like fungus and pyogenic cocci due to a decrease in immunity
protection

imbalance of the autonomic nervous system increased tonus of innervation of the sebaceous glands and
overproduction of sebum

Digestive system, liver diseases body intoxication toxins are released through the skin and form acne

Diseases of the kidneys and urogenital system violation of the production of female hormones

Infectious diseases toxicity increase decreased resistance to bacteria leading to acne

Heredity genetic predefined skin type a large percentage of acne depends on the presence of such a rash on the
parent

Cosmetics pore blockage the product clogs the ducts of the glands, they become inflamed and acne forms

Taking certain medications hormonal imbalance estrogen deficiency in women; in men - an increase in testosterone
production stimulates hypersecretion of the sebaceous glands and an increase in sebum
 allergic reaction skin rashes

gastrointestinal dysbiosis toxins are excreted by the skin, as a result, on the face, together with bacteria, form
acne

Vitamin A and E deficiency dryness, peeling of the skin, deterioration of the regeneration of skin epithelium acne
marks are more pronounced and last longer

Age spots and other skin changes

At the site of localization of the rashes, pigment spots subsequently form. Cicatricial deformities of the skin may be
observed. Expanded pores appear.

In medicine, these changes are called post-acne or residual acne.

The causes leading to the formation of acne also affect the appearance of age spots on the face.

Hormonal and endocrine disorders, the use of certain drugs increases the effect of melanostimulating hormone.
Excessive production of melanin pigments the skin.

The color of age spots can vary from yellow to brown or even black.

To lower the level of pigment melanin, take medications and use cosmetic procedures. In the mild form of
pigmentation is limited to home remedies.

If pigment spots and redness of the skin are formed at the level of the outer layer, then scars are caused by damage to
the deeper dermis. Traces of scars are more pronounced. It is more difficult to deal with them, but you need to know
that it is easier to cure them while they are fresh.

Scars are formed not only from inflammation, but also as a result of mechanical injuries.

The skin is injured after low-skilled mechanical peeling, self-squeezing acne, without observing hygiene rules, as well as
from rough cosmetic procedures.

If the facial skin is prone to acne, you should first think about its safety and not expose it once again to procedures of a
dubious nature. Less touch with hands or foreign objects to avoid unnecessary infection.

1. pigment suppressants;
2. pigment bleaching agents;

3. means, exfoliating age spots.

The first are gels for external use that suppress the production of melanin. They contain cojenic and azelaic acids,
arbutin and magnesium ascorbyl-2-phosphate.

Dark pigment spots are bleached, redness of the skin of the cream based on hydroquinone and lotions with trans -
retinoic acid are removed.

They can prevent the further appearance of scars and scars, however, before using them, you must consult your doctor.

Removal at home

There are a huge number of simple home treatments. Basically, these are homemade masks made from natural
ingredients.

Their effectiveness depends on the correct selection of ingredients, a preliminary assessment of the reaction on a small
area of \u200b\u200bthe skin and use only fresh products in the preparation.

Together, home masks should have antibacterial, anti-pigmentation and drying cosmetic effects.

The most effective are prepared according to the following recipes:

1. mask of white clay and lemon. Mix 1 tablespoon of white clay with 2 tea lemons, add a little water to a thick "sour
cream" and apply to the pigmented areas for 15 minutes;

2. mask made of badyagi and clay. Clay with a powder of giardia is mixed in proportions of 1: 1 and adjusted with
hydrogen peroxide to a state of thick “sour cream”. The finished mask is applied only to age spots. If the skin is
sensitive, such a mask is not suitable for it;

3. a cleansing mask - a scrub of honey and aspirin. Two crushed aspirin tablets are diluted with a small amount of
water, and then mixed with one teaspoon of honey. The finished mask is applied to the face with massage movements,
avoiding the eye area. Wash off after 10 minutes with warm water.

For problematic skin with enlarged pores, a mask of fruit puree and starch is suitable. It is made at the rate of 2
tablespoons of starch per 1 grated green apple. Then, you can apply a mask of white clay.

1. phytotherapy;

2. cryotherapy;

3. laser removal;

4. chemical peeling.

Phototherapy is a type of treatment with special devices (lamps, laser) that produce a certain length of red and blue
waves.

Studies have shown that such exposure has an anti-inflammatory effect, reduces the number of bacteria that cause
acne. It is able to give a stable remission for several years after several procedures.

Cryotherapy. This procedure consists in the short-term effect of low temperatures of liquid nitrogen on problem areas
of the skin. At the same time, a pleasant chill is felt.

Cryomassage is perfectly stimulated by skin immunity. Eliminates inflammation and age spots.

Laser removal is the treatment of age spots with the help of the action of the light flux. The laser acts on the cells of
the sebaceous glands and reduces the secretion secreted by them. The bactericidal properties of the flow kill
pathogenic bacteria.

Age spots literally evaporate. The skin texture is leveled. Highly effective, it is painless and safe. Cope even with deep
scars.

Chemical peeling involves applying certain acids to age spots. These are peels that eliminate pigmentation and prevent
its further appearance. In addition, this procedure solves the problem of enlarged pores.

As after the other above procedures, redness of the skin may be observed in the early days. But everything passes
literally in a couple of days. Attend these procedures in the direction of a dermatologist.

options. You can find an effective treatment at home.

Seek help from specialists using a pharmacy product. Or go to the hardware procedure to the beautician. A little effort,
a little more time and the skin shines again with health and beauty.

Before solving a problem, you need to understand the cause of its occurrence and nature. Those. What are age spots?
What are they formed from? And only then: how to get rid of age spots. Varieties of age spots do not end only with
specks, these include freckles, moles, unexpected redness, neoplasms, and others. But we will narrow the question
down to age spots remaining after acne and how to deal with them.

What are acne pigment spots

For the color of the skin, the degree of its translucency, all the tissues and the amount of pigment are responsible. The
pigment may increase or decrease depending on the factors external or internal.

The darkest pigment in our skin is melanin. The cells responsible for its production are called melanocytes. For various
reasons, the amount of melanin in different parts of the tissue can be produced in different amounts: somewhere
more, somewhere less. From here comes the manifestation of age spots.

An excess of melanin in any part of the skin causes spots, i.e. the process of hyperpigmentation occurs. This process
includes not only acne spots, but also freckles, moles, birthmarks.

Brown spots appear for a variety of reasons: from external factors to diseases of the internal organs, including acne. In
addition, ultraviolet rays, frequent deep peels, and tetracycline antibiotics have a strong influence on the production of
melanin.

Why are spots formed after acne

We all want to get rid of age spots, but we don’t know the main question: why do they form after acne. It turns out
that any inflammatory process provokes the active production of melanin. That is why any abscess or sore pimple turns
red. The size of the spot and the duration of its stay on your face depends on the degree of inflammation of the acne
itself, its depth, and the methods of its treatment. If you squeezed a pimple, then in most cases this spot will remain
with you for a long time, because you damage the epidermis and again provoke the production of melanin. Another
reasonable reason.

How to get rid of age spots

The effects of acne can be treated much longer than acne itself. Those. pigment spots after acne are classified as. Most
often, on a face cured of inflammation, there are a lot of spots that should already be treated with completely different
methods.

Such preparations are needed that inhibit the synthesis of melanin in the skin. Azelaic acid, i.e. all means with them,
for example, Skinoren, Azelik.
But it is worth approaching the problem comprehensively: add brightening masks and exfoliating scrubs and peels with
acids, exfoliating lotions and creams to the drug. There are special “acid” series for cosmetics Noreva, Bioderma,
Avene, where you can choose a tool for your liking.

It is worth dividing people with pigmented into 2 groups: those whose problem is not entirely sad, i.e. separate spots
from acne, enlarged pores - they can be treated with home methods. The second group - those who, in addition to a
huge number of spots, have scars, dents, scars - these people will have to resort to dermocosmetological procedures,
such as laser resurfacing, deep chemical peels.

Acne and acne are often a problem in adolescence, when there are changes in the hormonal background. But such a
fate can befall at a more mature age. The cause of rashes on the face, neck, shoulders, back, neckline can be different:
from hormonal failure to problems in the gastrointestinal tract.

After a long treatment and healing of acne, noticeable marks remain in their place. Pigment spots of this type are
characterized by a reversible process. If they are properly treated, they will quickly disappear and the skin will remain
clean with an even tone.

Why do acne spots remain? There may be more than one reason for the tracks. It lies in the care of inflammation on
the face, and in external factors affecting the damaged areas:
1. Squeezing acne and acne leads to injury to the upper layer of the epidermis. Microtraumas, healing, are covered
with a thin crust, which has a darker shade. It peels off over time, leaving updated skin underneath.

2. Unprofessional care for acne can lead to secondary infection. The inflammatory process is reflected in the color of
the tissues and even after its calming down, the affected area for some time differs in tone from healthy skin.

3. Illiterate use of drugs can also affect the condition of the skin. Cauterization by drugs that dry the dermis leads to
darkening and exfoliation of the upper layer of the epidermis. One of these common pharmacy products is a high
concentration salicylic acid solution. It really disinfects and promotes the healing of acne, but too frequent and
abundant application leads to drying out of the skin.

4. The effect of ultraviolet radiation on sore spots can cause pigmentation. The inflammatory process is accompanied
by stimulation of natural pigment. Melanin reacts to sunlight on the skin and makes it darker. The face must be
protected with sunscreen. Some young people suggest that trips to the solarium contribute to the drying of inflamed
pimples. However, after 10-14 days, exacerbation may occur.

5. Lack of acne and acne therapy leads to post-acne. This consequence is characterized by age spots, scars and scars
on the face. To get rid, resort to hardware therapy and cosmetic procedures.
