The dermatologist spoke about the causes of pigmentation after the summer

In summer, people often experience pigmentation of the skin, which indicates a malfunction of the body. About what can cause age spots on the skin, October 1, "Gazeta.Ru" was told by Galina Amosova, dermatologist and cosmetologist of the Icon Skin brand.

According to the expert, under the influence of ultraviolet radiation (UV), melanin is increasingly produced, which turns skin cells brown. But some side problems can directly affect getting rid of the pigments.

"The cause of persistent pigmentation can be low ferritin, anemia — as practice shows, it is almost impossible to remove pigmentation with them," Amosova said.

Pigmentation is also affected by a lack of A, C and E, as well as an overabundance of vitamins of group B. Sometimes liver diseases, digestive disorders and even stress can cause spots, especially on the face.

"The main thing in the fight against pigmentation is its prevention, that is, protection from UV radiation. If it does appear, the main task is to speed up this process, to help the colored cells come off and renew faster, so that they can be replaced by new ones sooner," the doctor added, talking about how to get rid of stains.

According to the dermatologist, acid pads, peels, serums, enzyme gels, powders, and retinol are used to combat age spots. Vitamin C intake and the use of SPF creams also have a positive effect on skin health after pigmentation. However, with severe blemishes, only laser therapy, IPL therapy (phototherapy) and microdermabrasion can help. Before any intervention for the treatment of pigmentation, it is necessary to consult a specialist.

Dermatologist, cosmetologist, co-owner of a network of clinics, Dr. Zarema Omarova, told Izvestia on September 21 that exposure to ultraviolet rays is one of the most common causes of excessive pigmentation. The more intense the sun's rays, the more pigment will accumulate in the skin.
