Невероятные возможности нутрикосметики: профилактика и лечение гиперпигментации

The most common problem that a patient comes to a beautician with after summer –  is skin with hyperpigmented areas. Despite the great information work on the educational program of the population regarding UV protection, beauty parlors are always full in autumn.

Clients often turn to a specialist for a ready-made solution to a cosmetic defect, not knowing that it is much easier to prevent hyperpigmentation than to treat it. And, first of all, you should pay attention to the diet.

This article on estet-portal.com details the relationship between oxidative stress and hyperpigmentation and why patients should be advised to use exogenous antioxidants in the form of nutricomplexes.

What is the relationship between oxidative stress and hyperpigmentation

It is an unshakable truth that people need oxygen to live. The price of normal cellular function – generation of reactive oxygen species by oxidative metabolism – that is, free radicals.

When exposed to ultraviolet radiation, the skin dramatically increases the production of free radicals – oxidative stress occurs.

Why hyperpigmentation gets worse and how to avoid it

It is important for aesthetic medicine professionals to understand the characteristics of human skin and how chronological aging and photoaging occur when exposed to reactive oxygen species.

The purpose of cosmetic products is to counteract these effects in order to maintain the health and integrity of the skin.

Free radicals initiate skin aging processes

The structure of the skin is quite complex, consisting of several layers, each of which plays a specific role and performs different functions.

Each layer of the skin is equipped with its own arsenal of protective molecules – antioxidants, and their various systems differ from each other based on the layer's susceptibility to oxidative stress and its function.

It is generally accepted that the accumulation of free radicals in tissues is one of the key moments in the initiation of skin aging, as well as the development of dermatological diseases.

The skin is very susceptible to oxidative damage due to the presence of a large number of potential biological targets for free radical attack. In particular, the skin is rich in lipids, proteins and DNA – biological structures that are extremely sensitive to the oxidation process.

When the skin needs extra antioxidants from the outside

UV radiation can affect melanocytes both directly and indirectly by stimulating the release of special factors that enhance melanization by keratinocytes.

In addition, ultraviolet radiation also induces reactive oxygen species in the biosynthesis of skin and melanin in melanocytes.

If the skin is under oxidative stress that the internal antioxidant systems cannot cope with, there is a need for the introduction of antioxidants from the outside.

There is a direct link between the treatment of hyperpigmentation of the skin and the patient's diet.

Nutricomplexes: exogenous molecules that protect against free radicals

Antioxidants – free radical scavengers and inhibitors of their synthesis – have received a lot of public attention recently due to their ability to prevent UV-induced melanogenesis.

– it is a patented complex of natural ingredients with antioxidant abilities.

The Nutricomplex provides the body in general and the skin in particular with a dual system of protection against free radicals. What is its essence? For more information about the unique protective properties of the EsthentmLuminos nutricomplex, read later in the article.

Primary effect of Nutricomplex: Strengthening of own antioxidant systems

The primary effect of the drug is to stimulate and strengthen the body's own antioxidant systems.The enzyme superoxide dismutase, extracted from cantaloupe melon, in combination with the trace element zinc, is responsible for this in the Esthentm nutricomplex Luminos.

Zinc – it is a coenzyme of the superoxide dismutase enzyme.

It should be noted that exogenous superoxide dismutase does not directly affect the effects of oxidative stress.
Its role is to activate the three antioxidant "whales" organism:

1.    own superoxide dismutase;

2.     catalase;

3.    glutathione peroxidase.

The role of superoxide dismutase from a dietary supplement in inflammation is not just to scavenge free radicals - it influences immune responses and signal initiation.

SOD has also been found to be expressed throughout the epidermis and dermis, and its level changes as inflammation progresses.

The role of zinc in aesthetic medicine products: why is it so important

A secondary effect of the Nutricomplex: the work of exogenous protective molecules

The secondary effect is the work of exogenous protective molecules directly in the skin. In the Esthentm Luminos Nutricomplex, the function of secondary skin protection against excessive melanogenesis is assigned to grape flavonoids and vitamin C.

Flavanol monomers and vitamin C reduce the activity of tyrosinase involved in melanogenesis and thus regulate melanin synthesis.

The combination of these two components was chosen for a reason: flavonols are known to improve the bioavailability of vitamin C for the body.

Heme - a non-protein component of hemoglobin and cytochromes - triggers oxidative stress, destroys the extracellular matrix of the dermis (collagen, elastin), and underlies the inflammatory process, thereby supporting the pathophysiology of the formation of dark circles.

The unique antioxidant composition of Esthentm

Luminos makes it possible not only to prevent and reduce UV-induced hyperpigmentation, but also to even out skin tone in general, smoothing out olive and red tones, as well as to reduce the area and severity of dark circles under eyes.

Synergy of nutrition and traditional cosmetic doctor's tools

Today, a beauty industry specialist can safely use nutricosmetics as one of the most effective tools in solving various aesthetic problems. This can be either a combination of a course of salon procedures and dietary intake, or the appointment of a dietary supplement paired with home care for the patient.

When talking about excess UV-induced melanogenesis, it is still relevant to explain to the patient the importance of preventive measures.

Therefore, if your patient's skin is characterized by hyperpigmentation after the summer season, be sure to ask – Is there enough antioxidants in his diet?
