Skin-lightening Challenges
By: Zoe Diana Draelos, MD
Irregular pigmentation of the face is one of the most common signs of photoaging. Pigmentation occurs because of the uneven production of melanin—a brown pigment produced by melanocytes—in the skin. Many different patterns can be seen on the faces of people of different ages.
Clients often are seeking an advanced skin care consult for pigmentary issues. An aesthetic Laser system may be used as part of the treatment plan to address the pigmentary needs. Laser Genesis and LimeLight facial are often combined with light chemical peels, cosmeceuticals, sunblock and good client education about sun protection to decrease the appearance to pigmented lesions.

Treatment of Minor Burns
Cooling of the burn wound: the ideal temperature of the coolant.
Laser based infrared technology in advanced skin care can result in complications. Complications with Laser based technology can result when someone does not understand light/heat - tissue interaction, poor technique and inadequate cooling. Burn injuries can happen with vascular treatments, Laser hair reduction and the treatment of pigmented lesions. A treatment provider should never perform a treatment that may result in an adverse event that they can not recognize and properly treat.
Proper and timely treatment of a burn injury is key to minimize such adverse events as scarring and pigmentary issues.
It is very important to NEVER ICE a burn.

Before the initiation of therapy, the triggering factors that exacerbate the patient's rosacea should be identified and avoided if possible. These factors may be unique to each individual patient.

Skin Lightening and Depigmenting Agents
Friday, March 6, 2009 by
Renee Lierly, RN
Advanced skin care of Skin types III-VI may require the use of skin lightening and depigmenting agents. The limelight facial may be used to treat pigmented lesions, to remove the melanin from the epidermis. This may be more easily accomplished with the use of depigmenting agents such as tyrosinase inhibitors.
Skin Lightening and Depigmenting Agents
Depigmenting agents are commonly prescribed to treat disorders of hyperpigmentation.
A basic understanding of the pigmentation pathway is helpful prior to a discussion of various skin-lightening agents and their known mechanisms of action. The type and amount of melanin synthesized by the melanocyte and its distribution pattern in the epidermis determines the actual color of the skin. Melanin forms through a series of oxidative reactions involving the amino acid tyrosine and the enzyme tyrosinase.
