Skin Whitening

Skin Whitening refers to the practice of using chemical substances in an attempt to lighten skin tone or provide an even skin complexion by lessening the concentration of melanin.

Several chemicals have been shown to be effective in skin whitening, while some have proven to be toxic or have questionable safety profiles, adding to the controversy surrounding their use and impacts on certain ethnic groups.

Uses:

Specific zones of abnormally high pigmentation such as moles and birthmarks may be depigmented to match to the surrounding skin. Conversely, in cases of vitiligo, unaffected skin may be lightened to achieve a more uniform appearance. Long term use of skin whiteners can lead to pigmentation increasing to the joints of the fingers, toes, buttocks and ears. The skin of the face can become thinned and the area around the eyes can have increased pigmentation causing a bleach panda effect.

Laser Treatments:

Both ablative and nonablative lasers can have a profound effect on melasma. However, the results are not always consistent, and problems have been reported. Laser treatments of this kind are more likely to result in problems for those with darker skin tones.

Skin Tightening

Skin Tightening

As we age we lose volume in our face, primarily fat. As a result skin can hang down as gravity acts on it creating droopiness, wrinkles and bands. This can be thought of as excess skin and is similar in concept to a dress that becomes too large as its owner loses weight. In cases where you have a signficant amount of this loose skin, you may find no other solution than plastic surgery because the underlying muscles need to be addressed and repositioned.

Nonsurgical Skin Tightening:

• Dermal fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, or Radiesse can soften the shadowing that occurs around your nasolabial fold and facial creases, thus making the jowls and cheek folds appear less prominent.  Fillers act like inflating a beach ball to address the pockets and bulges. For example, by using a filler to restore volume to the cheeks, you can lessen the appearance of the jowls to some extent.
• There are a number of skin tightening devices or machines used in medical offices that may tighten skin such as Refirme, TITAN, or Thermage. Titan uses infrared light (IR) to tighten the skin, Thermage uses unipolar radiofrequency energy (RF), and Refirme uses IR and bipolar RF.
• A doctor may suggest you rejuvenate skin with laser skin resurfacing. The erbium laser with Profractional technology or the CO2 laser with Fraxel are additional options.

Skin Tighten with Cosmetic Surgery:

Many doctors believe a combination of treatments (surgical and nonsurgical) get the best tightening results.
Skin tightening from a combination of neck liposuction and thermage, MD After weight loss or a pregnancy, a person can be left with excess, loose skin. In most cases, excess skin will not go away with just diet and exercise. In such cases, a surgeon may recommend a procedure called a panniculectomy, which essentially remove excess skin.

For significant facial sagging, the Facelift or mini lift may be the appropriate solution. The goals of a facelift are to lift the jowls and clean up the neck.

Typically during a facelift the neck is sculpted by removing both the fat on top and underneath the muscle fibers that extend from the collarbone to the jaw. This muscle is tightened in the front of the neck and underneath the jaw-line to improve the jowl line. To lift the jowls, the facial superficial musculoaponeurotic system is also tightened.

Facial Skin Care

Facial Skin Care for Acne-Prone Skin

If you are prone to acne, choose a cleanser specially formulated for acne. These products often contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, which help to clear acne sores. Clean your face gently, as trauma to the acne breakouts may worsen the acne or cause scarring. Avoid harsh mechanical scrubbing of skin and picking lesions. If you need to use a moisturizer, use light, non-comedogenic moisturizers, which do not aggravate acne. Also, women should use an oil-free foundation, as heavy makeup or other cosmetic products that block pores may worsen acne.

Facial Skin Care for Mature Skin

Photoaging refers to the damage that is done to the skin from prolonged exposure to UV radiation, over a person's lifetime. Roughness, wrinkling, irregular pigmentation (coloration), inelasticity, enlarged sebaceous (oil) glands, precancerous and cancerous lesions are all examples of skin changes associated with photoaging. Sunscreens and sun protection are important to prevent further progression of photoaging. Furthermore, smoking has been shown to accelerate aging of skin, so stopping smoking is important for good skin health. In addition, a well-balanced diet allows the skin get the nutrition it needs to help repair ongoing damage from the sun and other environmental elements. Many topical non-prescription and prescription products are currently available for anti-aging purposes, including:

Tretinoin — Retin-A is a prescription medication initially developed to treat acne. In addition, it was discovered that it also improved skin texture and color when used over an extended period of time. Tretinoin exfoliates the skin (removes a dead layer of skin cells), helps even out pigmentation, and minimizes fine lines. Many people can benefit from using Tretinoin or related products at bedtime. Side effects of Tretinoin include redness, peeling, tightness, and swelling. You may be able to minimize these side effects by initially using Tretinoin every other night and then gradually increasing the frequency to nightly as tolerated. Tretinoin also makes the skin more sensitive to ultraviolet rays from the sun, and therefore we recommend the use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen each morning.

Alpha Hydroxy Acid — Alpha Hydroxy acids are found as ingredients of numerous skin products. In the United States alone, there are approximately 185 manufacturers of products containing AHAs. Creams and lotions with AHA may help with fine lines, irregular pigmentation, age spots, and may help decrease enlarged pores. Side effects of AHAs include mild irritation and sun sensitivity. For that reason, sunscreen should also be used every morning.

Beta Hydroxy Acid — Salicylic acid also has been studied for its effect on photoaged skin. It exfoliates skin, and can improve the texture and color of the skin. It penetrates oil-laden hair follicle openings and, as a result, also helps improve acne. There are many products available that contain salicylic acid. Some are available over-the-counter, and others require a doctor's prescription.

Hydroquinone — Hydroquinone is a bleaching agent that is used to remove hyper-pigmentation, such as age spots and dark spots related to pregnancy, hormone therapy, or excessive sun exposure.

Dry Skin Care

Dry Skin Care

Dry skin is defined as flaking or scaling of the skin when there is no evidence of dermatitis. It is most prominent on the shins, hands, and sides of the abdomen, and can be associated with itching. It is more common during the winter months, when humidity is low, and improves in the summer time. Some people also have a genetic tendency to develop dry skin. In addition, elderly people tend to have more trouble with dry skin due to the natural changes in skin that occur with age.

Treatment is important because extensively dry skin can lead to dermatitis or eczema. Dry skin may be prevented or treated by:

• Taking lukewarm baths or showers 
• Limiting baths/showers to 5 to 10 minutes 
• Applying a moisturizer right after drying off from a shower or washing your hands 
• Using a moisturizing body soap and hand soap
• Using heavier creams or ointments during the winter months and lighter lotions in the summer.

If the above regimen does not improve the condition of the dry skin, it is possible that the flaking is a sign of underlying dermatitis. There are different types of dermatitis that may cause dry, itchy, flaking skin. They include:

• Seborrheic dermatitis — a red, scaly, mildly itchy rash on the scalp, eyebrows, and sides of the nose in areas that contain many oil glands.
• Allergic contact dermatitis — a rash that results when the skin comes in contact with a substance that causes an immune reaction, such as poison ivy. Allergic contact dermatitis of the hands often causes scaling on the palms or fingers.
• Atopic dermatitis — long-lasting type of dermatitis usually starting in childhood that tends to run in families. It also may cause excessively dry, itchy skin on the face and body. 
• Athlete's foot — dry flaking skin on the soles and/or sides of the feet and between toes caused by a fungus.

Melanin

Melanin

A dark brown to black pigment occurring in the hair, skin, and iris of the eye in people and animals is called Melanin. It is responsible for tanning of skin exposed to sunlight.

Melanin is found in several areas of the body including:

• Skin where it provides skin color
• Hair
• Pupils or irises of the eyes
• Stria vascularis of the inner ear
• Areas of the brain, the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus
• The medulla and zona reticularis of the adrenal gland

Types of melanin:

Some of the different types of melanin include eumelanin, pheomelanin and neuromelanin. Eumelanin is found in the hair, skin and dark areas around the nipples. It is particularly abundant among black populations and provides black and brown pigment to the hair, skin and eyes.

When eumelanin is present only in small amounts, hair may be blonde.

Pheomelanin is also found in the hair and skin. This type of melanin provides pink and red colors and is the main pigment found among red-haired individuals. This type of melanin is not as protective against UV- radiation induced cancer as eumelanin.

Neuromelanin is a form of melanin found in different areas of the brain and loss of this melanin may cause several neurological disorders.
