Dermatology Specialist Dr. Lütfiye Çoban said, "In order for the spot treatment to be successful, it is necessary to be protected from the winter sun."
Dermatology Specialist Dr. Lütfiye Çoban warned about winter sun and said, "Skin spots are one of the most common health problems, especially for women, after wrinkles and age-related skin problems. When it comes to the formation of skin spots, only spots that develop as a result of direct contact with sunlight come to mind."
“IT CONCENTRATES ON THE FACE, CHEEK AND FOREHEAD AREA”
Expert Dr. Lütfiye Çoban says, “Sunspots called 'melasma' are non-congenital and often appear on the face and cheek area. They are brown-looking structures located on the forehead and upper lip. Sunspots are divided into superficial and deep. The depth of the sunspot can be determined with an ultraviolet lamp. However, not every brown formation seen on the face may be due to sun rays. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the skin with the examination of a dermatologist and find the most appropriate skin spot. "Treatment needs to be planned," he said.
"WINTER SUN IS NOT INNOCENT"
Çoban stated that sun protection is of great importance for the success of spot treatment and said, "Do not go out of the house." Even if you do not go out, sunscreen should be applied immediately after cleansing your face in the morning and repeated at noon and afternoon. In addition, it is very important to avoid the sun and use sunscreen products in the days after pregnancy and birth control medications, and after epilation procedures such as waxing. Many methods are used in the treatment of stains. Superficial sunspots respond better to treatment. To achieve successful results, the depth and structure of the stain is as important as the patient's skin type, skin color, accompanying diseases, genetic structure and lifestyle. While some spot lightening creams are sufficient for some patients, some patients require procedures such as peeling or laser. The most commonly used procedure for this purpose is glycolic acid peeling made with fruit acids. "Peelings performed at intervals of 2-4 weeks ensure that the stained area on the upper layers of the skin flakes and peels off," he said. The shepherd continued:
� When a deeper peeling is required compared to peelings, fractional laser applications are also used in spot treatment. Fractional lasers have provided great convenience to physicians and patients in the skin peeling process in recent years. Very successful results are obtained for every stain type. Apart from fractional lasers, lasers with different wavelengths are also used in the treatment of some formations such as freckles and age spots by affecting only the blemish area without causing peeling on the skin. During blemish treatment, the skin becomes much more sensitive and prone to blemishes, and if it is not adequately protected, blemishes will increase even more. Therefore, it is more appropriate to perform treatments especially in autumn and winter, when the effect of the sun decreases. Even if the treatment is over, high factor sunscreens should be used regularly throughout the four seasons to prevent the spots from recurring. Using vitamin C supplements and antioxidant pharmaceuticals can suppress the formation of blemishes on the skin. In the autumn months, when the burning effect of the sun's rays decreases, spot treatment can be started with the recommendation of the doctor.
