Pigmented spots, or chloases, are especially noticeable on the hands and face. Particularly, they become visible after 40 years, when the woman's body begins to change significantly. Most often, pigment spots appear in those who work with chemical and coloring substances.
Possible causes of the appearance of age spots
Causes of pigment spots can also be:
- Pregnancy. In this difficult period for the female body, there is a hormonal adjustment that leads to changes in the skin condition of the expectant mother. Skin color is caused not only by the amount of melanin, but also by the thickness of subcutaneous fat, blood supply, and also by the action of estrogens. Estrogens can stimulate the focal congestion of melanin in the skin. During pregnancy, the amount of estrogen in a woman's body increases dramatically, as does the sensitivity of certain areas of the skin to melanin. As a result, chlorases appear. After birth, pigmentation spots disappear, as the body returns to a more familiar state.
- Chronic liver diseases. The liver is the "sanitar of the body", saving it from toxins. If the liver is malfunctioning, the body suffers from excessive slagging, which manifests itself on the skin.
- Infections (fungus). The pigmented spot of an infectious nature changes its color (for example, from brown to white) as a result of a deeper penetration of the fungus into the skin cells. With such pigmentation spots should not be delayed.
- A tan. Few people think that the hot southern sun is not suitable for our skin, and staying there for 4-5 hours a day is threatened with burns, as a result, pigmentation spots from sunburn occur.
The reason for the appearance depends on how to treat pigmented spots. If you bleach the skin, affected by the fungus, you can make things worse. Stains from the violation of the liver in any case will require treatment and cleaning of internal organs.
How to get rid of age spots?
For those who care about the question of how to get rid of age spots, the aesthetic medicine salons offer services for the removal of pigment spots with a laser. Before the procedure, the dermatologist necessarily conducts an anamnesis, that is, clarifies the history of the origin of the spots, the presence of infectious diseases, contraindications, etc. At the same stage, the type of anesthesia, the duration of the procedure and the laser exposure parameters are determined.
Skin after surgery requires careful care and protection from sunlight, otherwise relapses are possible.
How to remove pigmentation spots at home?
At home, you can use a bleaching cream from pigmented spots. Those who prefer a step-by-step way of bleaching spots to the laser, the advice is to use instead of water for washing milk whey. Only women with very dark skin should not completely replace the water procedures with milk, because the whitened skin of the face will be very different from the skin of the body.
To achieve maximum effect, before bleaching pigment spots, it is worth carefully cleaning the skin with peeling. Cleansed skin better perceives the components of creams or oils.
Ideal oils from pigment spots are castor, peach and apricot kernel oil.
A mixture of various oils will also be excellent for the removal of pigment spots.

- grape oil (seed oil) - 4 ml;
- hazelnut oil (preferably unrefined) - 3 ml;
- primrose oil - 3 ml;
- lemon oil - 5 drops;
- oil of rosewood - 4 drops.
Keep the mixture in a dark jar, in a dry cupboard. Use at night, after cleansing the skin. You can apply to the whole face, since the mixture has not only a bleaching, but also a moisturizing, as well as a slight anti-inflammatory effect.
