Age and Pigmentation
Effects of Aging Skin
The two biggest culprits that determine the appearance of our skin are time and the environment, namely the sun. As we age our skin cells accumulate, we develop wrinkles and may even experience patches of color on our skin of a darker tone. This aging generally begins after age thirty (30) and is most noticeable on our face.
Dyspigmentation can occur at all layers of the skin. Melanin pigmentation on the skin can be known as flecks, black spots and dark skin.

Unlike flecks on the surface, black spots and dark skin are pale, translucent cells surrounding and above melanin formations on the base layer. They have darkened in color and are being seen through the skin on the surface. |
Various therapies can penetrate deep to this base layer to treat the original area of the darkened areas. Sound, light, and heat can promote melanin oxidation which can lighten the flecks, black spots, or dark skin. This all happens at the source, the deep epidermis and keeps skin uniform and beautiful.
Intense Pulsed Light Rejuvenates Skin and Lightens Features
The light stimulates the growth of collagen to remove age spots, pigmented areas, and spider veins. Small vessels and pigmented lesions collapse when heated thereby reducing the artifacts on and under the skin.
Red Light Therapy Slows the Aging Process
Nothing stops the aging process, but the Red Light slows the process by as much as five years! It is non-invasive and requires no down time after use.
Caution
Dyspigmentation and atypical moles are common as we age. Unfortunately, skin cancer has become more common over the years too. Only a trained medical professional can accurately diagnose skin cancer. Early detection is key to survival and regular screenings are recommended. If you have any concerns about your skin, they should be brought to the attention of your doctor immediately. The American Cancer Society maintains a fact sheet on skin Cancer "Skin Cancer Facts". None of the products featured on the eHealthandBeauty website are appropriate for the treatment of cancer or any mole features, common or atypical.
