Salon treatments to remove age spots
Cosmetologists and dermatologists in their arsenal have several methods of dealing with age spots. Whitening is carried out by three types of peeling: ultrasonic, chemical and laser.
Ultrasonic peeling is used to remove age spots that are slightly visible. This method is based on the effect of ultrasound on the upper layer of the skin. This procedure improves blood circulation in the problem area, and this provokes whitening.
Chemical peeling is recognized as the most dangerous method. This is due to the fact that the principle of the procedure is based on the application of acid to the pigment spot. The substance penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin, which can cause pain. In addition, there are a number of contraindications.
Laser removal of age spots on the face is the safest and most effective. Under the influence of a laser, moisture evaporates from the skin, as a result of which old cells die off, and new cells grow without pigment, which causes the regeneration process.
