Despite the huge number of sunscreens produced by different manufacturers, no one guarantees that hyperpigmentation will not occur. There are many factors that increase the skin's receptivity to the sun. These include photosensitizing drugs, fragrances, essential oils, and even some foods like ginger, parsley or grapefruit.
The risk of pigmentation is indeed reduced if cosmetics with the right level of protection are used. However, elderly patients often come to a cosmetologist with complaints of pigment spots that suddenly appear, although they follow all the rules for being in the sun.
Read about the features of the occurrence of pigmentation on aging skin and the fight against it at estet-portal.com.
Why does aging skin become covered with hyperpigmentation patches
With age, the number of melanocytes in the skin gradually decreases. Some of them cease to function as protection against the aggressive action of ultraviolet radiation. By the age of 60, about a third of pigment-forming cells remain active in a person.
Melanocytes are able to migrate to areas that are most exposed to insolation.
In aging skin, they move to those areas that, in their youth, especially suffered from the sun – forehead and cheeks, décolleté, hands. After all, the body remembers that they still need protection, and little pigment-forming cells are produced. This fact explains the "senile buckwheat" on the arms, pigmentation on the chest and on the face, manifested with age.
Peptide preparations from Mesopharm are well suited for correcting age spots on aging skin. Their bioactive components are able to penetrate deep into the skin, affecting melanogenesis.
How to deal with hyperpigmentation associated with aging skin
NucleoSpire Renitalizing Complex A Promo formula P-Shine may be recommended to address hyperpigmentation in aging skin.
Anti-pigment activity of the drug components

|
Glutathione |
Peptide, due to which melanogenesis proceeds along the path of production of light pheomelanin |

Whitening Oligopeptide-68 |
Tyrosinase antagonist. Blocks melanogenesis and destroys synthesized excess melanin |
|
Vitamin C |
Transfers the eumelanin synthesized in the skin to a state prior to oxidation, due to which the pigment spot brightens |
An important component of – allantoin. This by-product of uric acid has a strong emollient and moisturizing effect. In case of sunburn, it prevents inflammation of the skin and soothes it, preventing the manifestation of solar pigmentation. In addition, this substance – one of the best exfoliants. It softens the stratum corneum and exfoliates dead cells from it. As a result, the skin is brighter, looks smooth and matte.
Barrier properties of the skin are improved by amino acids in the preparation – components of the natural moisturizing factor of the skin. High molecular weight hyaluronic acid (1800 kDa) is also responsible for moisture. Its molecules have an anti-inflammatory effect, contribute to the restoration of the integrity of the stratum corneum, increase the hydration of the skin affected by ultraviolet rays.
Rules of application: the drug is injected using the surface nappage technique; course of procedures – 5-8 sessions once a week.
Home care for aging skin after pigmentation procedures
To consolidate the results of injection correction of hyperpigmentations, it may be recommended to use Revital Active moisturizing regenerating mask in home care.
It is also based on a peptide complex, so it is perfectly combined with anti-pigmentation procedures that are carried out with the peptide preparation NucleoSpire Renitalizing Complex A Promo formula P-Shine. The complex includes peptides with the following actions:
• mitigate the damaging effects of free radicals and prevent their activity;
• have an anti-inflammatory effect;
• accelerate the recovery of the skin after its damage by ultraviolet rays.
Mask components have a stimulating effect, activating the production of extracellular matrix components.
The use of NucleoSpire Renitalizing Complex A Promo formula P-Shine in combination with the Revital Active mask from Mesopharm not only improves the effect of pigment spots therapy, but also has a pronounced lifting effect, increasing smoothness and elasticity of the skin.
