Facial blemishes are one of the most common aesthetic concerns, affecting men and women of all ages. They can arise due to various factors, such as sun exposure, aging, hormonal changes, and skin inflammation. While some blemishes disappear naturally, many become permanent, requiring specific treatments to even out skin tone.
At the Institute At Face Mi, in Braga , we use Laser Sciton technology , one of the most advanced in the world, to effectively treat blemishes, restoring a healthy and even skin appearance. In this article, we explain the main causes of blemishes, the most common types, and how laser treatments can provide brighter and rejuvenated skin.
Main Causes of Facial Blemishes
Stains can have various origins. Some of the most frequent causes include:
Excessive Sun Exposure – UV radiation stimulates the irregular production of melanin, causing hyperpigmentation and dark spots, such as melasma and solar lentigines (age spots).
Hormonal Changes – Pregnancy, use of contraceptives, and natural hormonal changes can trigger melasma , characterized by irregular dark spots.
Inflammation and Acne – Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can appear after acne breakouts, burns, or other inflammatory processes in the skin.
Aging – Time can lead to the appearance of age spots due to the accumulation of sun exposure throughout life.
Regardless of the cause, laser treatments can be highly effective in correcting and reducing these spots.
