Skin blemishes appear with excessive sun exposure, age or hormonal changes. Here are some tips for spot treatments and products to take care of your skin after the summer.
Cabin treatments treat facial blemishes from two points of view: aesthetic and medical-aesthetic and in both cases the causes, origin and evolution of the blemishes must be assessed with a previous diagnosis.
These will depend on the state of the stains as the more established they are, the more difficult they are to remove. In the centre 10 Aesthetics recommend three steps:
1-Oxygenating – lightening treatment
It consists of an exfoliation with AHA, Lactic or Glycolic acids, a deep hydration with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C and oxygenation of the skin with pure pressurised Oxygen.
Before and after treatmentThe duration of the oxygenating treatment is 1h 30 min.
2-Dermapen: the pencil that unifies the skin’s chroma and prepares it for more specific treatments.
It is a micropuncture device whose objective is to open small channels in the dermis that facilitate the penetration and absorption of any active ingredient. At 10 aesthetics they use specific nanotechnological, anti-oxidant and lightening active ingredients to effectively treat hyperpigmentation and both sun and age spots.
Treatment with dermapen
The duration of the Dermapen treatment is 1h 15 min.
3 – IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Technology
The energy of the laser light hits the melanin, effectively and progressively lightening the spots.
Unlike Dermapen, which can be used at any time of the year, IPL is always performed at times of the year when the skin is not exposed to the sun (spring and autumn). In 10 estètica they combine both technologies, an option that allows them to keep the skin uniform and free of blemishes throughout the year.
