Have you noticed white, red, or dark discolorations on the skin of your neck, face, arms, chest, or
another area of your body? Having blotchy skin is a common issue that can cause a reduced self-image. It’s
time to eliminate blotchy skin for good.
What Causes Blotchy Skin?
There are a number of potential causes of blotchy skin. Chemical skin irritants like
the ones found in perfumes, dyes, and detergents can make blotches appear, as can the rubbing of rough
fabric against the skin. Dust and animal dander are other examples of skin irritants.
Environmental factors like allergens in the air, extreme hot or cold, and strong winds are major causes
of skin blotches. Skin dryness increases the risk of irritation.
Generally, patients with sensitive skin are more susceptible to the blotchiness that occurs as a result
of the aforementioned factors.
Fair skin shows redness and irritation more prominently than dark skin, so those with fairer skin are
more susceptible to blotchiness. Women who are experiencing fluctuations in hormone levels are more
prone to this issue. One’s genes can also make them more likely to experience it.
Cosmeceuticals are one option we offer to
treat blotchy skin. These are skin products that have a higher concentration of active ingredients
than those that can be found in retail stores. As they contain a higher percentage of medicinal
compounds, they are considered medical grade and can only be purchased in a practice that is physician-led. We offer three of the most popular medical-grade product lines: SkinCeuticals, ZO Skin Health and SkinMedica.
Microdermabrasion is a treatment that
can rejuvenate blotchy skin by exfoliating damaged and dead skin cells. By removing the uppermost layers, your skin's healing process is triggered to make room for
fresh, smooth cells to grow in their place. Collagen and elastin production are both boosted.
IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a treatment that addresses discoloured areas of your complexion by utilizing the power of pulsed light energy. When these energy pulses are directed
at the skin tissues, the healing response is triggered, causing an increase in collagen and
elastin.
Another option to clear up blotchy skin is Sublative rejuvenation. Using this
non-invasive bipolar radio frequency energy technology, we can increase the skin’s collagen
production and eiminate blotchy skin. The result is a more even toned complexion.
