Problem skin of the face

What is laser facial resurfacing?

Initially, when describing the CO2 laser resurfacing procedure, it was recommended that the treatment be continued until the treated tissues acquired a “suede” appearance.

Scars: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

A scar (cicatrix) is newly formed connective tissue at the site of damaged skin and deeper tissues. Scars are formed as a result of injuries, surgical incisions, and ulceration of a number of skin rashes (papules, tubercles, nodes, etc.).

Lentigo: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Lentigo (syn.: solar lentigo, senile lentigo, liver spots) are small brownish spots that appear in people of any phototype due to excessive acute and chronic insolation.

Freckles: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Freckles (ephelides) are small brownish spots that appear in people of I-II phototypes due to insolation. Freckles are more often observed in blondes with light skin and blue eyes.

Skin pigmentation disorders (vitiligo, albinism, melasma): causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Pigmentation disorders can be primary or secondary, occurring at the site of resolved primary rash elements (papules, pustules, vesicles, blisters).

Seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff

Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic recurrent skin disease that develops in seborrheic areas and large folds, manifested by erythematosquamous and follicular papular-squamous rashes and occurs as a result of the activation of saprophytic microflora.

Idiopathic facial dermatitis

Perioral dermatitis (periorificial dermatitis, syn.: idiopathic dermatitis of the face, steroid dermatitis of the face, flight attendant disease, perioral rosacea, rosacea-like dermatitis, photosensitive seborrhea) is a disease that affects exclusively the skin of the face and is manifested by persistent erythema, most often developing in the perioral area, and small papules and papulopustules that appear against its background.

Hyperpigmentation and skin whitening

One of the complications during cosmetic procedures that can be perceived by skin cells as external aggression (peelings, plastic surgery, application of toxic substances to the skin, etc.) is darkening of the skin - hyperpigmentation.

Dry skin: Moisturizing is not the same as moisturizing

If, for one reason or another, the moisture content in the stratum corneum decreases, its structure is disrupted, which leads to a deterioration in barrier properties.
