Genital Whitening

The female external genitalia, the perianal region, the inner thighs are not exposed to the sun, however they can be stained for different reasons:

  • The skin phototype of the patient has an important role. Patients with dark skin have a greater chance of staining.
  • Birth control hormones increase the chances of hyperpigmentation.
  • Pregnancy too.
  • Diseases with hormonal disorder or polycystic ovarian disease.
  • Waxing with hot wax or epilation with intense pulsed light.
  • Excess weight can promote hyperpigmentation due to increased friction.
  • Tight clothing can also produce stains by friction, rubbing.
  • The passage of time favors hyperpigmentation due to the sum of these factors.

The darkening of the labia majora, the perigenital area, pubis and perianal region affects women psychologically and can cause a loss of confidence and self-esteem when having sex or simply wearing a bathing suit.

Morphea

 

La esclerodermia es una enfermedad autoinmune de etiología desconocida, más frecuente en mujeres.

El término Esclerodermia significa esclerosis o endurecimiento de la piel. La afección puede ser localizada o sistémica.

Tipos de Morfea

La esclerodermia localizada también llamada Morfea puede tener distintas formas, por ejemplo:

  • Gotas: lesiones pequeñas, superficiales, con muy poca induración y bordes bien definidos.
  • Placas: lesiones de extensión diversa, induradas, de color violáceo.
  • Linear: bandas localizadas sobre todo en los miembros y la cara. La piel se ve indurada y deprimida.

La morfea al involucionar puede sufrir cambios de color, ya sea hiperpigmentaciones o hipopigmentaciones, también se observan lesiones vasculares.

La Morfea suele afectar los tejidos profundos generando depresiones antiestéticas.

Durante años el Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra ha trabajado tanto en actividad hospitalaria como en Hoogstra Centros Médicos tratando esta enfermedad y las secuelas estéticas que produce.

Hoy en día contamos con tecnología láser que nos permite mejorar nuestros resultados y ayudan al paciente a verse y sentirse mejor.

Spots on the lips

Clinical picture

Dark spots on the lips are often benign, occur more frequently in white-skinned patients, are generally single lesions on the lower lip, and are caused by sun exposure.

Treatment

The most effective and least traumatic treatment is the 1064-532 Helios ND Yag Laser.
Although lip melanoma is rare, this type of lesion should be ruled out before treatment.
Other common injuries to the lips are vascular injuries, caused by trauma to the lower lip with the teeth. Sometimes they are accidental and other times they are caused by the patient's habit of biting his lower lip.

Racial pigmentation, a dark line that extends on the mucosa of the lower and upper lip in dark-skinned patients, is also a frequent reason for consultation and disappears or fades after a couple of sessions with Helios laser modality 1,064.

Other pigmented lesions of the lips

  • If the pigmentation occurs on both lips, is diffuse and the patient is young, racial pigmentation or Peutz Jegher syndrome should be considered.
  • If the pigmentation occurs on both lips, is diffuse and the patient is an adult, Adison's disease, heavy metals or Kaposi's disease should be considered. They can also be produced by a local inflammatory process, in smokers or by certain drugs.
  • If the lesion is local, red or blue, we must think of a hemangioma. solar lentigo or pigmented nevus.
  • If the lesion is locally blue or gray in color, a blue nevus should be considered.

These lesions should be evaluated by dermatologists.
Our team of dermatologists is trained to make an adequate diagnosis and treatment of each of these pathologies.

Stains on hands

 

Aging not only affects the skin of the face but also that of the hands. They can begin to show the signs of age before the face. The skin on the back of the hand is much thinner than that of the face and contains much less fat.

Clinical picture

A medida que el colágeno natural de la piel y las fibras de elastina comienzan a descomponerse, las manos empiezan a mostrar los signos de la edad avanzada. Las texturas pueden cambiar y las venas pueden comenzar a aumentar de tamaño e inflamarse. Las arrugas y la piel delgada y traslúcida son también signos de envejecimiento de las manos.

Consejos para prevenir el envejecimiento de las manos

1) Usar foto protectores adecuados para la época del año y el foto tipo de piel.
2) Usar cremas hidratantes
3) Usar guantes para manipular productos de limpieza y químicos en general.

La exposición inadecuada al sol causa el envejecimiento prematuro y favorece la producción de lesiones pigmentadas (manchas solares, lentigos solares). Esto se debe a que el sol estimula las células que producen pigmento, lo que resulta en una sobreproducción. Evite la luz solar directamente en las manos y use ropa protectora cuando sea posible. Trate de mantener las manos lejos de las ventanas mientras conduce. Los rayos dañinos (UV) pueden penetrar el cristal, el cual incluso puede amplificar los efectos perjudiciales (al concentrar los rayos como haría una lupa).

Imagenes de manchas en las manos

Treatment

Las manchas de las manos son de difícil tratamiento, dado que es una piel fina las tecnologías existentes hasta el momento producían en muchos de los pacientes tratados lesiones hipo crómicas (manchas claras o cicatrices).

Hoy en día con los avances tecnológicos se pueden eliminar en forma segura y efectiva, gracias a un nuevo láser que lleva el nombre del dios sol (Helios II).
Este láser ND YAG Q Switcheado tiene dos longitudes de onda (1.064 y 532 nm), la longitud 532 permite eliminar las manchas de las manos en una sola sesión.

Al impactar en la mancha primero esta adquiere una coloración mas clara que el resto de la piel, después se pone un poco mas oscura y se termina eliminando totalmente a las dos semanas. En el pos tratamiento el paciente debe realizar hidratación y foto protección.

Tanto el tratamiento como el pos no es doloroso y permite continuar con la vida cotidiana.

Si el paciente presenta arrugas finas de las manos y flacidez hoy en día puede ser tratado con una novedosa radiofrecuencia con micro agujas (Scarlet) o el Láser de dióxido de carbono micro fraccionado también esta indicado.

Las venas gruesas de las manos se tratan con una técnica similar a la utilizada para la patología varicosa de miembros inferiores.

Si la mano ha perdido mucha grasa y tiene aspecto cadavérico, se puede realizar micro injerto con grasa autóloga y/o colocación de ácido hialurónico, compuesto natural de la piel que retiene agua.
