What are age spots?

 

Age spots are sometimes called liver spots and are nothing more than collections of pigment caused by prolonged and repeated sun exposure or sunburns. They appear as yellowish-brown flat spots that look like large freckles. They can also be caused by aging, impaired liver function, dietary or nutritional deficiency and sometimes from bruising that leaves blood pigments behind. They usually appear on the hands but can turn up almost anywhere, especially in areas exposed to the sun such as the back, arms, feet, shoulders and face.

 

People who tan a lot will have them over the shoulders, back, chest and many other areas of skin later in adult life, especially after 55. This is because as we age our metabolism changes and the liver may become so overwhelmed with toxins that it cannot rid the body of them. Oxidation within the body and the lack of antioxidants also causes age spots.

 

Age spots take years to form. Getting rid of them here at totalcare, treatments will take time, too, so don’t give up.

 

Please be very careful: If you have irregular, dark spots that increase in size or change colour or texture, see a doctor immediately.

The diamond-tip heads are suitable for all skin types and there are different intensities for face and body. This is great for removing layers of micro-pigmentation, the stuff that causes age spots.

 

Oxybrasion is also very popular for sensitive acne skins concentrated airbrush of high quality Oxygen. This can be combined with either a Saline Solution or our Action De Gala Fortified Vitamin Complex, which helps to nourish, moisturise and re-balance the skin.

Vita-Sensa LT – 2G

 

The Vita-Sensa LT is the most versatile beauty option since it provides treatments for many facial skin problems : redness, acne, wrinkles, loss of firmness and dull complexion. It differs from the other devices on
the market because it offers 3 colours on the same device as well as the possibility of combining 2 colours at a time. Each colour penetrates the skin at a specific depth and generates distinct effects. The blue colour produces a purifying effect on the sebaceous glands and acne, the green colour reduces the aspect of redness caused by broken capillaries while red diminishes the signs of aging. We can add this to any of our treatments and we also sell it as a home-care product, so that clients can continue their treatments at home.
