What skin problems can be caused by menopause?

Few people can boast of smooth and smooth skin, the appearance of which is always impeccable. Even if she looks perfect in her youth, over time her condition worsens. Problematic facial skin, where various imperfections are noticeable, often indicates health problems. Vascular spots, acne, pigmentation, scars, blackheads - all this also becomes a cause of anxiety and dissatisfaction with one’s appearance. Many people mistakenly think that inflammation on the face is only typical for teenagers. Hormonal changes occur in the body at any age, so the external manifestations that they cause can also occur in the older generation. However, you should not rely on a miracle, hoping that over time your skin condition will improve. She needs careful care, which should be selected by a qualified cosmetologist.

However, before you begin to deal with imperfections, you need to determine the factors that caused them. The appearance of rashes and inflammations is due to the following reasons:

• frequent stress and psychological disorders;
• improper care;
• dysfunction of the sebaceous glands;
• diseases of internal organs and their systems;
• genetic factors;
• slowing down collagen synthesis.

Types of rash

Acne is divided into two main types: inflamed and non-inflamed.

1. Non-inflamed type of rash (comedones):

- blackheads (acne) are found on different parts of the body and face - back, chest, nose (most often), cheeks. They do not cause any major inconvenience or problems. They can become inflamed if you inaccurately try to get rid of them;

- wen or whiteheads, appear on the surface of the skin with dots of different sizes. The number of this type of comedones increases in the summer. High ambient temperatures promote intense secretion of subcutaneous fat and clogged pores.

A non-inflamed rash is the first sign of acne. These rashes cannot be ignored. Timely skin care will completely eliminate the inflammatory process and serious consequences.

2. Inflamed rash - subcutaneous pimples. They have the following varieties:

- inflamed pimples (papules) develop into ulcers (pustules) as they enlarge;

- a purulent rash (yellow or gray) is formed as a result of inflammation of the comedones;

- deep nodular formations of purple color - acne. The diameter can be from 3 to 5 mm. Very painful. When squeezed out, scars remain;

- deep, dense formations from nodules (cysts), reaching a diameter of 5 cm. When the nodules merge, the affected area reaches 7-8 cm. Very painful, bluish in color. This is the most severe form of rash, requiring professional comprehensive treatment from a dermatologist.

Procedures for caring for problem skin (6 options)

Working on your appearance should never stop. We are talking about a comprehensive approach to prevent the appearance of blackheads, acne, pimples, wrinkles, etc.

Of course, home care is important. But if you really want to get rid of acne, acne and other blemishes that cause problematic skin, you should pay attention to professional procedures.

Mechanical cleaning

Some cosmetologists are quite aggressive about the mechanical type of cleansing, believing that this injures the skin and leads to inflammation.

But the procedure continues to be popular and there is a reason for this: after cleaning, the result is immediately visible - there are no pimples, ulcers, blackheads or blackheads.

The mechanical cleaning procedure consists of 3 stages:

• cleansing;
• steaming;
• cleaning pores and relieving inflammation.

This type of cleaning involves physical squeezing of pus and impurities from the pores with hands or special instruments.

The method also has negative sides: the procedure is painful and actually causes injury. For this reason, experienced and qualified specialists must prescribe the use of anti-inflammatory and wound-healing sprays, gels or ointments.

To eliminate redness, white and blue clay and masks with aloe vera are used.

Ultrasonic cleaning

Manual, that is, mechanical cleaning has been replaced by ultrasonic cleaning. With the physical method, tips or “tails” remain in the pores, which then begin to become inflamed and lead to the formation of purulent pimples and their increase in number.

Moreover, the skin may be “tight” and cannot be processed manually, which will aggravate the problem rather than help get rid of it.

The ultrasonic method is recommended for everyone without exception and guarantees deep, complete cleaning of pores, after which there will be no problems. This is also facilitated by hardware sterilization of the skin, which gives a long-lasting and guaranteed result.

The second point indicating the superiority of the ultrasound procedure is the preservation of skin elasticity.

With constant squeezing, the pores become wide and noticeable. With hardware, there is no such effect, which allows you to use the method up to 1 time per month for oily skin, and up to 3 times a year for combination and dry skin.

Phototherapy

This method is suitable if you have not only pimples, acne or blackheads, but also enlarged pores. We can say that this is one of the best and most gentle procedures, the course of which includes up to ten or more sessions.

The results of the impact are more than noticeable - there are no scars left from pimples and blackheads, the skin is evened out in a matter of days, the color improves.

The principle of operation is simple - due to photo flashes, bacteria, the main culprits of inflammation and acne, are destroyed. The method is excellent for teenagers suffering from hormonal changes leading to a purulent inflammatory process.

In addition to excellent results in treating acne, phototherapy has other benefits.

According to reviews from both specialists and their clients, the brightness of freckles decreases and rosacea is eliminated. The procedure leaves no injuries and is absolutely painless. The only negative is the high price.

Advice from cosmetologists: after phototherapy, it is not recommended to appear in the open sun and try to avoid direct rays for about 15 days. For this reason, it is better to conduct sessions in autumn or winter.

For protection, you should use a cream that protects from ultraviolet radiation and a moisturizer.

Chemical peeling

A procedure based on the use of fruit acids is another great way to tidy up problematic facial skin.

Depending on the depth of exposure, the recovery period will differ. After the procedure, you may observe slight redness, which disappears after a couple of hours. But there are peelings, after which the face becomes covered with a film that gradually peels off.

The chemical procedure promotes regeneration, that is, renewal of skin cells. Activates blood flow, regulates the functioning of sebaceous secretions.

After the session, it is better to abstain from ultraviolet radiation for 5-6 days and use moisturizers and sunscreens. In addition, many peels cannot be performed during active sun exposure.

Biodermabrasion

This method can also be called peeling, which combines two types - chemical and mechanical cleaning. The lengthy procedure is carried out in several stages:

• cleansing;
• light peeling – preparatory;
• steaming;
• peeling – mechanical;
• applying a soothing cream and mask.

By cleansing we mean washing and removing remnants of cosmetics. Then a soft, gentle peeling is performed, with the help of which the skin becomes more receptive to the procedure.

Next is the use of products to activate blood flow, creams for steaming pores and mechanical cleaning with a special paste. The product penetrates deeply into the pores, cleanses of toxins and increases blood circulation, normalizes the functioning of the glands.

The biodermabrasion procedure does not cause injury, so there is no inflammation or redness after its use. The main thing is to use the same moisturizers and sunscreens.

Laser cleaning

The most determined fighters against blackheads, inflammation and redness of the skin dare to use this option. The procedure really works wonders on the cover.

After the hardware treatment, it becomes smooth, any problems are eliminated and no traces of former acne, acne and scars remain. Moreover, renewed skin gets rid of fine wrinkles.

The operating principle is as follows: the laser burns small points, the area around which begins to renew.

It is worth understanding that such a miraculous procedure requires considerable expenses, but it is worth it! After the session, you will have to stay at home for several days and not go out into the open sun.

To heal the skin, the cosmetologist prescribes a special product - cream, solution, gel or ointment. The cover is completely restored in 2-3 weeks.

Progressive methods of treating problematic facial skin

It's not always easy to disguise acne

Whatever the reasons for the occurrence of imperfections, they should be countered under the supervision of specialists. They will help you choose the only correct method for treating problematic facial skin for a particular case.

To combat increased fat content and all external signs associated with it, provided that they are caused by hormonal imbalances, attention should be paid to its normalization. The pharmaceutical industry today produces a huge variety of drugs aimed at eliminating hormone imbalance.

In addition to treatment with medications, as well as in situations where problems with oily facial skin are caused by other reasons, for example, disruption of the body's normal metabolism, it is necessary to use various cleansing antibacterial cosmetics: tonics, lotions, ointments and creams. All of them are designed to eliminate excess sebum from the surface of the face and enlarged pores, as well as microbes, the activity of which is the cause of acne.

To relieve dry skin, on the contrary, regular use of moisturizers is necessary. Also in this case, a professional lifting procedure can help. Problematic skin of both types needs regular exfoliation - removal of the dead top layer, which provides opportunities for the growth of young healthy cells.

The problem of hormonal and natural premature aging can be solved using cosmetology methods. They are aimed at eliminating facial wrinkles and restoring the natural complexion:

• ozone therapy - ozone-oxygen sub- and intradermal injections, accompanied by a course of special massage;
• mesotherapy - the introduction of a homeopathic medicinal product into the inner layers of the skin;
• Botox therapy - injections of botulism toxin.

Modern cosmetology is able to combat such problematic skin formations as pigment spots, scars and warts.

For this purpose, the cryodestruction method is effectively used. It involves the destruction of tissue to be removed by exposure to low temperatures. If the appearance of problem areas is associated with the presence of systemic diseases, then no special therapy is required other than eliminating the original source.

Treatment of fungal infections and allergic reactions on the face is carried out with special preparations on the recommendation of a specialist.

Degree of damage

There are three degrees of acne damage:

1. Lightweight. With this degree of damage, you can observe a small number of blackheads - up to 5-8 pieces.

2. The average degree affects the skin with 10 or more pimples, but there are no inflammatory processes on the skin.

3. A severe form of damage is an advanced stage of the inflammatory process. It is characterized by a large number of pustular formations and localization of acne.

Why and why?

The causes of acne are varied. First of all, it is a violation of the internal state of the entire organism. Finding out why acne occurred can only be done through medical research and consultation with a dermatologist. Although the factors behind the appearance of acne are not fully understood, there are several nuances that are worth paying attention to:

1. Insufficient cleansing of pores and poor-quality cosmetics provoke the appearance of black and whiteheads (pimples).

2. Bad habits: smoking and alcoholic drinks - reduce the supply of oxygen to the skin, thereby disrupting the normal activity of the sebaceous glands and causing them to become clogged.

3. Hormonal imbalance in the body - only a doctor can make such a diagnosis. After research and tests, the dermatologist will select the right treatment. Self-treatment with hormonal drugs is not recommended, as this can harm the entire body.

4. Heredity is a cause that cannot be eliminated by any treatment. Only regular visits to a cosmetologist and proper selection of cosmetics will help partially correct this problem.

5. Stress and nervous overexcitation - activate the work of the adrenal glands, which provokes the release of hormones into the body. In this case, a cosmetologist and a dermatologist will not help. In this situation, emotional peace is important, and a visit to a psychotherapist will not be superfluous.

6. Long-term use of medications of a certain group, for example, steroids or antibiotics.

7. An unbalanced diet leads to improper bowel function. Milk and fatty cheeses can cause acne. If acne appears, any dairy products should be reduced to a minimum.

Causes of problem skin

Problem skin is not a disease.
Previously, there was an opinion that problematic skin rashes were caused by poor diet and lack of hygiene. It is now generally accepted that psychological factors such as stress and improper functioning of the sebaceous glands are the basis of skin problems. Signs of problematic skin include: increased activity of the sebaceous glands, the presence of dry and oily areas of the skin, enlarged pores in the form of craters. As a result of the accumulation of fats, exfoliated dead cells in the pores and hair follicles and the impact of pathogenic bacteria on them, rashes appear on the skin, especially painful in the back, face and chest. Problematic skin can serve as a signal of diseases of the digestive system and problems with the endocrine system. Some skin problems are the result of a predisposition that is inherited, such as the formation of age spots.

Hormonal changes in the body not only at a young age, but also during aging, can provoke a number of skin problems. Skin aging is caused by a slowdown in collagen synthesis. The skin becomes less elastic and firm. The aging characteristics of dry skin further aggravate the problems associated with damage to the skin barrier and increased dryness. In addition, the secretion of the sebaceous glands decreases, intracellular processes slow down, and the level of hyaluronic acid decreases.

Self-medication can cause irreparable harm to the beauty and health of the skin. Only a specialist can determine the true cause of the disease and prescribe individual treatment according to skin type. A timely visit to a specialist cosmetologist or dermatologist will help eliminate skin problems and restore lost freshness and smoothness to it.

About prevention

It is better to prevent a problem than to deal with it for a long time. Prevention is the key to healthy and smooth skin. For this it is enough:

1. Cleanse your facial skin following the following scheme:

- remove decorative cosmetics from the skin with special milk or liquid;

— remove the remains with foam;

- to narrow the pores, wipe your face with lotion;

- complete cleansing by applying a cream - nourishing or moisturizing, depending on your skin type.

2. Be sure to cleanse your face not only in the evening, but also in the morning to remove excess sebum accumulated overnight.

3. Do not touch your face with dirty hands, and especially do not try to squeeze out pimples.

4. If there are no inflammatory foci on the skin of the face, then once a week cleanse the face with a scrub or peeling to remove dead cells. To remove the top layer of skin, you can use a mixture: olive oil + sugar (2:1). This product cleanses the skin very gently and does not cause allergies.

5. It is necessary to select cleansing cosmetic products taking into account your skin type. For problem skin prone to rashes, you should choose cleansing cosmetics at a pharmacy, taking into account the recommendations of a dermatologist.

6. Be sure to drink water. Drinking enough water will provide natural hydration to the skin.

Treatment methods for problem skin

The task of a cosmetologist is to identify the individual causes of skin problems and, together with you, select a method for eliminating them using procedures that are suitable specifically for your case.
There are a variety of modern techniques that are aimed at eliminating, correcting and slowing down the negative processes associated with age-related skin changes and other unfavorable factors. Procedures using biogel or Botox give a good positive effect. To smooth out wrinkles, mesotherapy is successfully used - the injection of special medicinal or homeopathic preparations into the layers of skin lying behind the epidermis (mesoderm). This method is very effective in treating other problems caused by aging or hormonal imbalances. Aesthetic medicine and dermatology have adopted it in the fight against cellulite, obesity, varicose veins, stretch marks, scars, swelling and aging of the skin.

The method of electrocoagulation (diathermocoagulation) - cauterization of problematic skin tissues with electric current - is used to eliminate acne, spider veins, moles, and papillomas. The ozone therapy method is used to treat problematic and rejuvenate aging skin. Its essence lies in carrying out massage procedures with ozonized oil, subcutaneous and intradermal injections of an ozone-oxygen mixture. This method has gained wide popularity due to its effective effect on expression lines and improvement of complexion.

Problematic skin needs a procedure such as peeling. With the help of peeling, the skin is freed from the layer of dead cells, giving freedom to the formation and growth of young cells. To tighten aging skin, with teenage acne, to correct fresh stretch marks and other manifestations of problematic skin, face lifting is an indispensable cosmetic procedure.

Modern hardware cosmetology widely uses ultrasound methods to treat problem skin. As a result of phonophoresis (a combination of ultrasound and special means), metabolic processes in skin cells are activated and lymphatic drainage is enhanced. Cryodestruction (cryosurgery) and cryotherapy are treatments with dry cold air. These methods are successfully used in cosmetology and dermatology to treat problem skin.

Removal of keratomas, dark spots, warts, scars, tattoos using the cryodestruction method - local cooling to low temperatures - is attractive due to its low invasiveness and gives good results. Cryotherapy (cryomassage) involves short-term exposure to low temperatures on problem areas of the skin, resulting in a sharp constriction of blood vessels, and then their dilation. At the same time, reserve capillaries “awaken”, blood flow to the site of exposure to cold is stimulated, and metabolic processes are activated. Cryotherapy is used to strengthen hair roots and smooth out wrinkles.

Phytohormonal therapy is a new method in the treatment of problem skin. This method is aimed at eliminating hormonal imbalance - one of the main factors causing skin problems.

Caring for problem skin (10 important rules)

When caring for your skin, you should adhere to a number of basic rules, which, unfortunately, many people forget about. A step-by-step approach is important:

1. When cleaning, you should not use aggressive agents or soap, which leave a film on the cover that does not allow the cover to breathe. For this purpose, gels and foams are provided that can penetrate deep into the pores and free the skin from residual dust, dirt, cosmetics, foundation, powder, etc.
2. You should wash your face in the morning and evening. The water should not be at an aggressive temperature - 30-35 degrees is suitable, that is, at body temperature.
3. You cannot dry yourself with a hard towel - it is best to blot your face with a napkin.
4. For dry skin types, scrub once a week.
5. You need to use a toner to maintain firmness and elasticity, choose according to the type of skin. You should carefully study the label on the bottle and use products only from trusted brands.
6. The skin must be protected from the negative effects of ultraviolet rays; day creams are provided for this. The product protects not only from the harmful effects of rays, but also exhaust gases and dust.
7. We must not forget about care at night. Despite the fact that we sleep, certain processes continue in the body, including our skin. It needs nourishment, relaxation and hydration. Therefore, before going to bed, you should cleanse the cover of any remaining makeup and dirt, use a tonic and moisturizer.
8. Cosmetologists strongly recommend using masks made from natural healthy ingredients, carrying out the procedure 2-3 times a week.
9. It is strictly forbidden to visit solariums or lie in the open sun for a long time. The negative effects of ultraviolet radiation can lead not only to pigmentation, dry skin, peeling, but also the formation of malignant tumors of an oncological nature.
10. If pimples occur, you should not rub them, squeeze them out, and especially do not touch them with dirty hands. This is especially true for teenagers who squeeze out pimples on problem skin on their own and in places not intended for this.
