The key to solving blemishes lies in personally evaluating the patient to determine the personalized treatment suitable for each patient. The appropriate treatment will depend on the type of blemish, its characteristics, the patient’s type of skin and the expected results.
Blemishes are an hyperpigmentation of the skin if they are dark, and a depigmentation if they are pale. If the skin is hyperpigmented, blemishes may arise in the form of moles, freckles and age spots or lentigos. Blemishes may appear due to various causes and have many names:
Solar: Solar lentigo. Possible Treatments: Specific topical agents with acid every 2 weeks or Cryosurgery (the use of extreme cold with liquid nitrogen). Application of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).
Melasma: Melasma is caused by hormonal factors. Possible treatments: Specially formulated depigmenting creams, supplemented with topical agents with acid. Application of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).
Post-inflammatory pigmentations: Secondary to inflammations, such as after hair removal. Possible treatments: Depigmenting creams.
Treatments are supplemented with the use of Depigmenting Peels and Crystal Microdermabrasion; a sunscreen should be used. Additionally, home care treatment will also be prescribed to enhance treatment results, based on products specially prepared by Dr. Roberto Rodriguez Palacios, who is backed by 38 years of experience and keeps updated on the latest techniques. Results are guaranteed by his personal treatment and follow-up of cases throughout that time. Today, patients who began preventative treatment in time enjoy the results. Credit can also be given for the outcome of therapeutic treatments administered in connection with very complex pathologies.
Results will vary depending on each specific case. Results will range from the complete removal of blemishes to their improvement. The greater the number of sessions, the better the treatment results. Depending on the type of blemish, its characteristics, the patient's type of skin and the results expected, the appropriate treatment will be applied with the aim of improving the blemishes’ appearance, eliminating them fully or partially, depending on the possibilities in each case.
There are multiple options, which can be combined. However, it all begins with a preliminary diagnosis at the first appointment, which is key.
