Redness of the skin all over the body, but especially on the face is very problematic, as it affects the appearance quite significantly and is not so easy to hide under makeup. There may be several causes of redness on the skin of the face and body, and it is worth fighting them in parallel with measures to reduce and hide them. What are the reasons for skin discoloration and what are the ways to hide it?
Causes of skin redness
Reddened skin is one of the primary signs that there is something wrong with the skin. It can be the result of inadequate care, irritation or many other factors. By looking at the discoloration and redness of the skin on the face and all over the body, the cause of their formation can be diagnosed. Among the most common are:
- dry skin,
- Irritation caused by inadequate care,
- Bursting blood vessels, the so-called spider veins,
- Spots on the skin caused by impaired pigmentation,
- allergies,
- rosacea,
- Acne scars (including after hormonal acne),
- Scars from mechanical injuries.
These are just a few of the causes that can cause skin redness. Particularly problematic are skin discolorations caused by inadequate pigment production, as well as any scars and acne lesions, as such lesions are not subject to treatment, only various methods of equalizing skin tone can be used.
Ways to even out skin color
Depending on the cause of the problem, there are many ways to make the skin look good again. If the issue is irritation and inadequate care or allergies, the first and foremost thing to do is to improve its condition and take care of the health of the skin. In the case of burst blood vessels, laser treatments are also an effective method to close and strengthen them, which significantly reduces the problem of facial skin redness. On the other hand, when it comes to those lesions that are no longer subject to treatment, because they are scars and pigmented lesions, the simplest way, albeit not always effective, is to reduce their visibility with more or less permanent means.
Home remedies for skin redness that can be used on their own include:
- application of special ointments for scars with whitening effects prescribed by a dermatologist;
- Use of natural brightening agents – lemon, green cucumber;
- Use of properly selected facial cosmetics with green pigment, which reduces the visibility of red tones;
Removal of discoloration with laser
All home remedies for dealing with changes in skin tone and equalizing skin tone are unfortunately not long-lasting and not very effective. However, this does not mean that you have to start getting used to unsightly changes. Thanks to the use of new technologies, unsightly lesions can be gotten rid of almost completely. Laser treatments can reduce scars and blemishes on the skin, restoring a smooth and healthy appearance.
One such treatment is that with the Emerge laser. It is a fractional laser that works extremely precisely, allowing it to act only on the areas affected by the lesions, remaining completely indifferent to the surrounding healthy tissue. In the interest of safety, it is also necessary to consult a doctor before performing the procedure, who, through an interview with the patient, rules out contraindications and selects the parameters of the laser.
Effects of equalizing skin tone with laser
Taking advantage of the laser treatment allows you to enjoy visible results. Each treatment takes 15 to 60 minutes and, depending on the type of skin problems, a series of 3 to 6 treatments is required for full effect. By performing a full treatment, the lesions are almost completely reduced and the skin is restored to a uniform, smooth appearance.
