Without a doubt, the simplest and most effective option for senile stains is the IPL. Light destroys the pigment, causing the age spot to become darker and flakes after about a week. The treatment has no downtime and is virtually painless, but it can take up to four sessions to get the best results.
Cryotherapy
Ideal for single senile spots or small groups of stains. Cryotherapy is an outpatient procedure that exploits liquid nitrogen, which freezes and destroys the cells that produce the pigments, causing the stain to desquamm. Once the skin begins to heal, it will appear clearer, but some treatments may be needed.
Chemical Peelings
A chemical peeling predicts that the dermatologist applies an acid to the area, which burns the outer layer of the skin. As this layer of skin comes off and peels, it will form a new and healthier layer. The depth and frequency of these peelings will vary depending on the severity of age spots and the type of acid used. Side effects can vary from none to a few days of peeling and dryness.
Laser treatments
Laser treatments are safe and painless. It is necessary to do them in a medical office, however, because they can involve the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), or darkening or lightening of the skin, depending on the color, tone and position of the spots of the skin’s age. Any laser treatment can cause PIH, especially if you do not pay attention to staying away from the sun or using sunscreen after treatment.
Sun protection
Using sunscreen while exposing yourself to the sun is a preventative measure for brown spots on your hands. To avoid dark spots on your hands, it is recommended to cover them when you are outdoors. We use protection as a hand cream, if we have the doubts of forgetting the application.
Curuch
Turmeric comes from an Indian root similar to ginger. Recent studies have shown that turmeric powder helps with a variety of skin conditions such as You can create a mask using a part of turmeric and a part of honey. If you wish, you can boost the lightening process with a few drops of lemon juice, as long as your skin is not too sensitive and the citrus fruits don’t come into contact with wounds, such as pimples.
Sweet almond oil
Another strengthening skin ingredient is sweet almond oil. It is rich in vitamin E and niacin, important against hyperpigmentation and to improve skin tone. Because it is generally considered non-comedogenic (meaning it does not clog pores), you can add it to your evening routine as a makeup remover or moisturizing, as well as spreading it on your hands as an alternative to the cream
Papaya
Papaya contains fruit acids known as alpha-hydroxy acids, which are a chemical exfoliant. AHAs are used for dry, anti-aging skin and work to improve the skin by removing the upper layers of the skin by weakening the lipids that bind them together, thus removing opaque skin cells and death and revealing healthy skin cells. To treat the dark spots with the papaya, simply crush the papaya mature in a bowl and apply it as a mask on clean skin for 15-20 minutes. When removing the mask, you can also use gentle and circular movements for further exfoliation and remove the dead upper layer of skin cells.
Tomatoes
The tomato works best when taken by systemic route. They are rich in lycopene, which has multiple potential health benefits, including sun protection. Aren’t you a fan of tomatoes? Look for other fruits and vegetables with similar shades, such as guava, pink grapefruit, watermelon and red peppers. But do not apply them to the skin: this benefit is achieved exclusively through diet.
