Why does skin texture change?
Skin care
Once perfect skin becomes lumpy: pores expand and acne marks remain. Why does this happen?
Causes of lumpy skin:
- Enlarged pores. This problem has several reasons. Firstly, oily skin and malfunction of the sebaceous glands. Secondly, increased sweat production is often found in athletes. Due to these factors, acne eventually appears on human skin.
- Purulent acne.
- Inflammatory process. Basically, this process takes place without consequences, but in some cases the skin becomes scarred.
- Mechanical effect on acne. Often a person himself harms the skin by squeezing out blackheads and pimples. Facial cleansing should not be done with dirty hands, in inappropriate conditions, or by improperly pressing on a pimple. Besides that, some pimples just shouldn't be touched! These skin manifestations should go away on their own.
- Excessive use of cosmetics. If an acne or pimple appears, do not cover it with a large layer of cosmetics. Such procedures will only aggravate inflammatory manifestations: they clog pores and promote the proliferation of unfavorable bacteria. In addition, many cosmetics are of low quality and unsafe for the skin.
The skin of the face should be properly cared for and not harmed by mechanical action. The consequences of improper care are difficult to eliminate using traditional methods; in most cases you have to go to the salon to see a cosmetologist.
Professional leveling methods
Cosmetic defects of the facial skin can be the result of:
- unfavorable environmental conditions;
- use of low-quality or incorrectly selected cosmetics;
- heredity;
- poor nutrition;
- failures of any body system.
To successfully get rid of these defects, it is necessary to eliminate the root cause, if these are health problems, poor-quality cosmetics or poor nutrition.
To even out tone, beauty salons offer the following services:
Laser correction
It helps get rid of scars, which in turn are a consequence of the healing of acne, chickenpox, burns and other mechanical damage to the skin.
Cryomassage
This cosmetic procedure helps get rid of acne, which in turn is a consequence of overworking of the sebaceous glands. With this type of facial massage, cold is applied to the surface of the skin.
A thin layer of liquid nitrogen is applied to the face using tweezers and a cotton swab. In total, the cosmetologist passes the swab two or three times as the liquid evaporates from the surface of the skin. Short exposure to extremely low temperatures activates metabolic processes, eliminates inflammation and tightens pores.
However, it is worth considering that after the procedure the face may turn red and swell a little, but this should all go away within an hour. In addition, you need to apply sunscreen to your face before going outside.
Face cleaning
This procedure can be ultrasound, laser and mechanical. In this case, impurities, pimples of any kind and wen are removed from the surface of the skin. The procedure is quite painful and after it there may be wounds on the face that will soon heal.
Peeling
Peeling can be mechanical, when the skin is cleansed of dead cells using abrasive particles, and chemical, when facial skin is cleansed using organic acids. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages.
In some cases, problems with facial tone arise as a result of using low-quality cosmetics, which provoke irritation and inflammation. High-quality, but incorrectly selected cosmetics can have the same effect.
Also, problems with facial skin can be caused by excessive amounts of cosmetics applied. First of all, this concerns foundation, which, when applied in a thick layer, can clog pores, causing acne.
Changes in skin color: main causes
Healthy complexion and tone are the result not only of genetic predisposition, but also of proper skin care and the health of the body as a whole.
- Causes of skin discoloration:
- Wrong daily routine.
- Unbalanced diet.
- Overwork or stress.
- Allergy.
- Medications.
A change in complexion is a serious reason to consult a doctor or reconsider your daily routine. Perhaps you need a break from hard work.

List of procedures:
Leveling the relief must begin with competent and professional skin cleaning . Deep cleansing is achieved using hardware, manual and chemical methods. As a result of comprehensive cleaning, surface impurities are eliminated, dead cells are exfoliated, and comedones are removed. Cleansing the skin helps stimulate metabolic processes and normalize the activity of the sebaceous glands .
Cosmetologists at the Empire Beauty Center for Aesthetic Medicine select a combination of methods for each patient individually. The choice of cleaning method depends on the type of skin, its condition, age, presence of defects and many other factors. An optimally selected combination of hardware methods, massage elements and the application of medicinal cosmetics gives excellent results in a short time. The skin texture is evened out, it becomes smooth and velvety .
To combat age-related changes, deep furrows and wrinkles, contour plastic surgery . The technique involves the introduction of drugs based on hyaluronic acid into problem areas. Hyaluronic acid is distinguished by its ability to retain large amounts of moisture. Thanks to this, skin tone noticeably increases, deep wrinkles are smoothed out, and skin texture is evened out . We use Sergiderm, Juvederm, Stylege, Replery, Ivor and Radiesse.
With the development of phototherapy technologies, when correcting reliefs, we actively use photorejuvenation .
Photorejuvenation is achieved by launching a system of tissue regeneration and restoration of the collagen-elastin framework system, which forms the basis of elastic young skin, by the combined action of pulsed light (IPL) and radio frequency (RF) in the Inno Elight (IPL+ RF) device. This results in intense and controlled heating of tissues at the required level. This leads to the renewal of old structures and the formation of younger cellular structures of the skin. Unlike a surgical lift, the subcutaneous tissue and skin are rejuvenated from the inside.
The use of various types of peelings is effective, with the help of which you can correct large pores, areas of hyperpigmentation, smooth out fine wrinkles, and eliminate unevenness and roughness of the skin.
The use of various types of peelings , with the help of which you can correct wide pores, areas of hyperpigmentation, smooth out fine wrinkles, eliminate unevenness and roughness of the skin.
The most gentle and, at the same time, effective method is ultrasonic facial cleansing . During the procedure, the topmost surface layer of skin is removed. At the same time, the skin texture is evened out and various defects are eliminated. Ultrasonic peeling improves blood circulation and moisturizes the skin naturally. The effect is produced at the cellular level, so maximum efficiency is achieved.
The procedure is carried out using a special nozzle that vibrates in ultrasonic mode. The skin is pre-steamed and, depending on its type, an aseptic solution or tonic is applied. Ultrasonic peeling lasts from 20 to 40 minutes. The advantage of the technique is the immediate visible result. The effect of ultrasound on the deep layers of the skin stimulates protein synthesis and improves metabolic processes. This type of peeling does not injure the skin and has no complications. Contraindications are only acute infectious diseases, neuralgia, pustular inflammation of the skin. Regardless of the condition of your skin, cosmetologists at the Empire Beauty Center for Aesthetic Medicine will select an effective skin smoothing that is right for you.

Reviews
In my youth, my face was covered with acne, traces of which remained on my cheeks. No makeup helped hide them. When I went to work and had money, I decided that I could afford laser correction. I was very pleased with the result, as if my face had always been smooth.
I have thin and acne-prone skin. In addition, in the cold season it becomes weathered and peels off. It needs additional nutrition. I used to use nourishing creams, but they do not always give the desired effect. I started applying a small amount of olive oil to my face at night. The face became smooth, redness and peeling went away.
Previously, almost a third of my face was covered with wen, which did not add beauty to my appearance. I heard that they are almost impossible to remove using masks and similar products. I decided to try mechanical cleaning. I was pleased with the result. True, the red dots went away for a week, but all the suffering was worth it.
Every woman wants to be the owner of smooth and beautiful skin without scars and marks after acne. To do this, it is important to understand what means and procedures will help achieve the desired result.

But the most effective remedy for skin irregularities is still cosmetic procedures. Therefore, you should try not to disturb the skin by mechanical action on it.

Hardware cosmetology at home
Hardware cosmetology is available not only in salons, but also at home. The most harmless procedure that can be done by a non-professional is dermabrasion.
The skin is polished using a special device that is available for purchase. After resurfacing, the skin texture is evened out, pores are narrowed, and scars and age spots practically disappear. To carry out the procedures, the skin must be clean and free of inflammatory elements. First, wait until the skin has completely healed, and then use the device.
Stages of the procedure:
- Cleansing and drying the skin.
- Applying the cream with a special sponge. The cream can be purchased separately or come with a grinding machine.
- Massage the skin with the device for about two minutes.
- Rinse off the cream with cool water.
After the procedure, when going outside, it is recommended to apply sunscreen and wash with mild care products. This facial cleansing is very popular due to its proximity to cosmetic procedures in a salon and its distinctive accessibility.
When is it necessary to even out facial skin (tone, color)?
Many representatives of the fair half of humanity dream of creating makeup exactly the same as that of screen stars on the carpet and glossy photographs in magazines.
However, this is not always possible.
This is not just a matter of the ability to use cosmetic products and not even the cosmetics themselves. The cause of imperfect makeup can be skin imperfections, such as pimples, pigmentation and many others. So if you want perfect makeup, eliminate them.

Concealing imperfections on the face
If the skin is subject to acne, inflammation, redness and pigmentation, and there is no time for procedures, products for masking imperfections will come to the rescue. You also need to know how to even out your face tone! Otherwise, you will get the exact opposite result: instead of beautiful, well-groomed skin, you will get an unnatural look.
Stages of evening out skin tone:
- Preparing the skin - removing sweat, oil and large amounts of dead cells that clog pores. If you don't do this, your skin will not only look untidy, but will also be subject to even more inflammation.
- Applying foundation. The foundation must accurately copy your skin tone and not differ from it.
- Work on the details - covering up small pimples, bruises and dark circles under the eyes, age spots.
- Applying foundation to eyelid skin.
- Applying powder. This cosmetic product will eliminate oily shine and make the skin matte.
The main thing is not to overdo it, the skin should look natural and healthy. Before going to bed, make-up should be washed off and the inflamed areas should be treated with any suitable product.
If you decide to even out your skin at home, then use proven products and methods. Do not carry out aggressive mechanical actions, do not use chemicals, as well as drugs that are intended for use in salons.

How to quickly and effectively even out facial skin after acne and scars: a step-by-step guide
Only surgical intervention will help to quickly and effectively remove post-acne and scars.
- subcision. The essence of the method is to excise the fibrous tissue under the scar, and then inject collagen into it to restore the surface of the skin. Visible results from subcision are achieved in 1-2 procedures at intervals of several months. It is advisable to complete the transformation process, after healing, with laser resurfacing;
- excision of scars. The essence of the intervention is to make an incision inside the scar and suturing the edges of the tissue (a cosmetic suture is used). After healing, smooth and healthy skin areas are formed instead of a scar. This method allows you to say goodbye to old and rough scars. Perhaps laser resurfacing will be required as a “final touch”;

- skin grafting. This method will remove the ugliest and deepest scars by removing the deformed layer of skin. In its place, the doctor will make an even “patch.” After healing, in order to completely smooth out the skin, the patient may be offered a dermabrasion procedure.
On a note! During the transplant, the patient’s own skin is used: it is “taken” from the most inconspicuous parts of the body.
