Pigment spots

Pigmentation and age spots are not only caused by an overproduction of melanin, but also by an uneven distribution of the pigment, which is normally released evenly to the surrounding skin cells. This can be exacerbated by factors such as sun exposure, hormones and skin ageing.

Melasma can affect both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin. This makes treatment more complex, as the methods for superficial and deep pigmentation disorders are different. A professional diagnosis is therefore essential in order to choose the most effective treatment options.

Sun protection is absolutely essential. UV rays and even blue light can intensify pigmentation spots and cause new discoloration. Daily sun protection with UV, blue light and infrared filters is therefore a must in order to prevent pigmentation disorders and avoid aggravating existing spots.

Retinol has a direct influence on melanocytes, which are responsible for pigment formation. It helps to dissolve existing pigments and prevents the formation of new ones by regulating cell activity. It is important that retinol acts specifically in the upper layer of the skin, where the melanocytes are located.

Yes, chemical peels, such as the professional 3-step peel, are an important part of the treatment. They help to renew the skin and reduce superficial pigmentation spots. Regular peels improve the skin's appearance and support an even skin texture.

A skincare cream alone is often not enough to completely remove pigmentation spots. A comprehensive treatment protocol that includes regular peelings, active ingredients such as retinol and consistent sun protection achieves the best results.

A superficial pigmentation disorder is often evenly distributed and easier to treat, while deeper pigmentation can be more stubborn. A precise diagnosis by a skin professional helps to determine this and select the appropriate treatment protocol.

Yes, treatment is also possible in summer as long as the skin is protected from UV radiation at all times. Comprehensive sun protection helps to support the effect of the care products and prevent the formation of new spots.

For stubborn cases, combined treatment approaches that include peels, retinol and other lightening agents are recommended. Professional treatments, such as chemical peels, can help to dissolve deeper pigmentation.

The care of pigment spots requires more than just a cream. Several steps are necessary to restore the skin to a healthy cell environment and regulate the pigment balance: Exfoliation, stimulation and protection. Only a holistic approach leads to long-term results and an even complexion.
