What are age spots?

A cosmetic defect in the form of flat areas darker than the main area of ​​​​the skin appears due to increased melanin synthesis in specific areas. Age spots can appear at birth or develop throughout life. Elements are responsible for skin tone, each of which has its own function:

• melanin – protects against the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation, has antioxidant properties, is involved in eliminating the effects of stress, and reduces the activity of free radicals;
• carotene – ensures cell regeneration, slows down the aging process;
• hemoglobins - blue and oxyhemoglobin are designed to color the blood and are responsible for a healthy glow and natural skin color.

Increased pigmentation is the result of excess melanin. Most often, pigmentation is observed in the form of freckles, which are associated with a genetic factor or exposure to ultraviolet radiation.

Freckles are more common on the face, décolleté, back and forearms. Less commonly they cover the hands. They can be very small in size or merge into conglomerations, forming large areas of hyperpigmentation. Red-haired people with fair skin are prone to freckles. In winter the spots become paler, in summer they become brighter. They do not pose a health hazard, it is just a cosmetic flaw from the point of view of some people, and a “highlight” in the opinion of others.

There are also other types of pigmentation, some of them are dangerous in terms of degeneration into malignant neoplasms:

1. Nevi and birthmarks are an uneven distribution of melanin in skin cells. The shade varies from light pink to dark brown. They are not particularly dangerous until they begin to change their structure. Birthmarks on the face, visible areas and areas subject to friction are best removed.
2. Melasma, chloasma without sharply defined boundaries on the face, neck, shoulders. Associated with problems of the hormonal system. Eliminated using cosmetic procedures.
3. Lentigo – age-related pigmentation, age spots. Most often they cover the upper body. They are poorly masked by cosmetics, but it is possible to reduce their intensity with the help of salon procedures.
4. Hypopigmentation includes vitiligo and albinism - discolored areas of the skin.

Pigmentation is dermal, forming in the deep layers of the epidermis. And epidermal, which affects the upper layers of the skin.
