Stains on the skin and melasma

Being exposed to the sun can cause spots on the skin. Contrary to what is believed, stains are caused by exposure to UV rays and not so much by age. These cause hyperpigmentation (spots), fatness, fine lines, and dryness, among other signs of photo aging that are treatable with the help of a skin specialist in Panchkula. Melasma is the second cause of dermatological consultation since it is caused by the sun, it is widespread to occur.

The spots appear by prolonged solar radiation. When we are under the sun (no matter if it is cloudy) we are under UV rays, just like when we are in front of a computer, there is radiation and many times we do not take it into account.

How does melasma arise?

Melanin is responsible for defining the pigmentation (color) of the skin; melasma is a form of hyperpigmentation that can arise in any part of the body although it is more common in the face or the arms. It occurs much more in women and can also occur in conjunction with hormonal changes; it can often happen in pregnancy.

The melanocytes are responsible for the increase in pigmentation in the skin. The sun causes skin damage as inflammation, at that time is when the skin is protected from the loss of UV rays by sending pigments to the area. Thus begins the process of melasma or spots on the skin, the production of vessels also increases the reddish color of the skin.

Can melasma be treated?

If we already have spots on the skin, we can treat them through the laser or topical products depending on the severity and depth of the pigmentation. Through the laser, we can destroy the pigmentation because when we launch the localized light, it directly impacts the pigment. It is a painless treatment and depending on the melasma or type of spot the skin specialist in Panchkula will recommend the number of sessions that are needed.
