皮肤暗沉


I believe that everyone will more or less find that they have dull skin at some stage or age. It may be the corners of the mouth, the corners of the eyes, or even the entire face. The dull feeling greatly affects a person’s spirit. If you don’t want to be a “yellow-faced woman” anymore, maybe it’s time to do some skin management.

Introduction

An important manifestation of skin aging is that the complexion begins to become dull and lusterless. It is different from the darkening and yellowing of the skin, which is more about the loss of luster and the deposition of pigments.


Cause

1. Low water content in the epidermis

Using the analogy of land desertification, when skin cells lack water, they will become less plump, the intercellular spaces will become larger, and the transepidermal water loss of the epidermis will increase accordingly. Therefore, the skin will become drier and drier, fine lines will appear, and the face will become dry and dull.

2. Skin is oxidized

The human body produces reactive oxygen free radicals (ROS) every day, just like exhaust gas produced by trains. Free radicals are also a kind of body metabolism product. Free radicals within the normal range are fine, but free radicals beyond the normal range will cause skin problems. Working in front of the computer during the day, constantly browsing the phone after get off work, staying up late, emotional instability, etc., will accelerate oxidation, causing the skin to accumulate a large number of free radicals, making the face dark and yellow. Just like a cut apple turns yellow and black, it is also because it is exposed to the air and oxidized.




3. Sun exposure causes melanin deposition

Affected by ultraviolet rays and inadequate sun protection will also accelerate the precipitation of melanin to a great extent, causing the skin to become dull and lifeless.

4. Problems with epidermal renewal metabolism

Generally, epidermal cells will renew, metabolize and shed normally, but sometimes, a few layers of cells in a certain place do not shed normally, which will clog the hair follicles and the lipids that are not discharged normally will form micro-acne and normal-sized acne. At this time, our skin surface will become uneven. Because the skin becomes uneven due to metabolism, it leads to poor refractive index, and the skin begins to feel rough and look dull.

5. Insufficient oxygen carrying capacity of hemoglobin

Hemoglobin is a protein that carries oxygen in the body. When there is abundant oxygen in the blood vessels and the oxygen supply to the face is sufficient, our skin will look rosy, rosy and lustrous.

6. Allergic constitution

People with allergic constitution may have dull and lifeless facial skin and pigmented dark circles around the eyes. This is related to the poor skin lipid membrane barrier and poor skin moisture content and water retention.

Specific symptoms

Yellow skin ≠ dull complexion

Dull skin is manifested as: Roughness/roughness Lack of natural luster Pigmentation

Affected population

People who are exposed to the sun for a long time; those who do not pay attention to sun protection; those who have irregular work and rest schedules; those who have slow skin metabolism, etc.



Treatment options

If you want to brighten your skin tone, first you need to prevent melanocytes from being stimulated to release more melanin from the source, and second, you need to take measures to interfere with melanin production and metabolism after they are stimulated, thereby increasing the skin’s antioxidant capacity.

A. Hydrating needle/hydrating microneedle

Introduction:

When facing multiple threats such as light pollution and the passage of time, water light injection is the most basic regular skin management project to maintain our skin in good condition. It can deliver the required ingredients into our skin more directly through injection, and the absorption rate is much higher than that of daily skin care. The injection ingredients can be mixed and selected according to personal conditions and needs.

The tiny needles puncture the stratum corneum, allowing drugs and nutrients to enter deep into our skin through these tiny channels. It has the effects of moisturizing, repairing damaged skin, shrinking pores, repairing after sun exposure, slightly anti-aging, and removing neck lines. The microneedle with whitening factor has a stronger ability to repair and soothe the skin, locks moisture for a longer time, and the skin is more elastic, smooth and white after the treatment.

C. PicoSure Honeycomb Picosecond Laser

Introduction:

PICOSURE is a picosecond laser that is safe and effective for removing tattoos and benign pigmentary lesions. It has been certified by the US FDA and China CFDA and is approved for skin pigmentation problems and spots. It uses the “755 wavelength” that provides highly specific removal of melanin to accelerate pigment metabolism. The treatment speed is 7 times faster than traditional lasers, and it reduces thermal damage and anti-blackening. The “honeycomb instant lens” uses picosecond shock waves to shatter melanin, proliferate collagen and elastic fibers, and effectively improve the elasticity of aging cells.

Working principle:

In BOOST mode, PICOSURE’s pulse width can be compressed from 750 to 550ps, which can increase the bursting pressure by 70%. It focuses the light of 755nm wavelength that can be absorbed by melanin and irradiates it onto the melanin. All the energy is released within picoseconds. Melanocytes do not even have time to absorb heat energy and are “shattered” (because the time is too short and the energy is too high). The pigment is metabolized like dust, leaving no trace. After that, the body’s immune cells will eat up the melanin.

process:

1. VISIA skin test: detect current skin conditions and skin problems. The data and images provide professional basis for face-to-face consultation.

2. Face-to-face consultation: Evaluate the scope of treatment and recommended course of treatment based on personal needs and pigmentation conditions.

3. PATC TEST: Perform PATC TEST 24 hours in advance and proceed if there is no allergic or uncomfortable reaction.

4. Preoperative preparation: apply anesthetic, clean and disinfect the treatment area, and wear goggles.

5. Laser treatment: illuminate the spots, strengthen the treatment for serious areas, and use cold air duct to cool down.

6. Postoperative recovery: Apply aloe vera gel to soothe and calm.

7. Precautions after surgery.

Duration: 1-1.5 hours

Suitable for the crowd:

  • People with common pigmentation spots such as freckles, sun spots, and age spots;

D. Whitening injection

Introduction:

The ingredients in whitening injections are mostly antioxidants, including glutathione and vitamin C. Glutathione helps the body detoxify and also helps cells resist oxidation. It is very suitable for those who have dull skin and congenital dark eye circles, acne scars and rough skin. For those who need to travel for a long time and are exposed to a lot of sunlight, the ingredients in whitening injections can also prevent melanin from accumulating in the skin. In addition, for those who have irregular lifestyles and work schedules and are under great work pressure, it also has the effect of refreshing and nourishing the body, which is equivalent to conditioning the body and whitening and repairing, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Working principle:

It uses pure European whitening drip, the main ingredient of which is glutathione, a tripeptide composed of three amino acids, glutamic acid, cysteine ​​and glycine. In addition to its powerful detoxification function, glutathione also has the function of inhibiting free radicals, which can effectively prevent the body from oxidation and slow down skin aging. When substances beneficial to the human body enter the human body through intravenous drip, they react at the cell level of the body, which can not only effectively prevent the formation of melanin, but also reduce the melanin that has been formed, making the skin delicate and white from the inside out, and there will be no toxic side effects even if used for a long time.

process:

1. Face-to-face consultation: Develop a treatment plan based on individual skin conditions and needs.

F. Acid treatment

Introduction:

Acid peeling is to use a certain concentration of acid products on the skin to dissolve the oils connected to the keratin cells, promote the shedding of the aged stratum corneum, accelerate the renewal of keratin cells and a small number of upper epidermal cells, speed up the metabolism of the skin, promote the proliferation of elastic fibers in the dermis, and restore and maintain the health of the skin. It has a good effect in whitening, removing acne marks, improving pores, fine lines, removing blackheads, and treating acne and chloasma.

Working principle:

Acid peeling/fruit acid peeling can loosen the adhesions (desmosomes) between stratum corneum cells, allowing the over-accumulated keratinocytes to separate and fall off, unblocking the hair follicle openings and preventing blockages; at the same time, it activates the metabolism of the epidermal skin, promotes the proliferation and rearrangement of collagen fibers in the dermis, and ultimately effectively improves skin quality (especially chicken skin), shrinks pores (inhibits oil secretion) and brightens skin tone.

process:

1. VISIA skin test: detect current skin conditions and skin problems. The data and images provide professional basis for face-to-face consultation.

2. Face-to-face consultation: Develop a personal acid peeling plan based on personal needs and skin conditions.

3. Preoperative preparation: Clean and disinfect the treatment area.

4. Acid peeling treatment: Apply acid to the face for 1-5 minutes.

5. Stop reaction: Apply stop solution to neutralize the acid and stop the peeling reaction to avoid excessive damage to the skin.

6. Clean up after the operation and explain precautions.

Duration: 45-60 minutes

Suitable for the crowd:

  • People with slow skin metabolism, large pores, and pores clogged by old dead skin cells;
  • Severely oily or combination skin;
