Keratosis Pilaris

Keratosis pilaris or goosebumps

Keratosis pilaris is characterized by the presence of keratin plugs in the follicular orifices and a varying degree of peripheral erythema.

It is not caused by cold as it is commonly known. It is generally hereditary, but it is also seen in obese, diabetic, kidney failure and other patients.

It mainly affects the arms, thighs, buttocks and chest.

Clinically, gray-white elevations are observed that leave the hair trapped, with redness around it. The skin is rough to the touch.

Patients report improvement during the summer.

The best treatment that currently exists is the Erbium Lotus Laser.
It is fast, effective, safe, painless and immediate recovery, with a redness that lasts from 24 to 36 hours.

  4. Laser treatment.

In Hoogstra Medical Centers we treat keratoses with the Erbium Lotus II laser.

Clinical picture

Actinic keratoses develop most commonly in the parts of the body that are most exposed to the sun, such as the face, ears, neck, hands, or forearms.
They are usually painless, but can be irritated and itchy. Keratosis presents clinically as rough, scaly patches or lesions.
These spots or lesions are not carcinogenic, but if left untreated they can potentially develop into a serious type of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma.

What are the symptoms of actinic keratosis?

Actinic keratosis looks like a pink, brown, or skin-colored spot that is bulky and rough to the touch.

What causes actinic keratosis?

The biggest cause of actinic keratosis is too much sun exposure (natural light like the sun, or artificial light like that of the solarium).

Who is at risk of getting actinic keratosis?

It is more frequent in patients with fair skin, blue eyes of middle age or older who have had a lot of sun exposure.

How is actinic keratosis diagnosed?

People who are at risk of having any skin disorder should check their skin regularly. If you notice any persistent lumps or spots of unusual color, texture, shape, or size, you need to contact a doctor or dermatologist. Other worrying signs are pimples that don't heal or anything else that bleeds easily. The doctor will likely biopsy the skin by removing part or all of the lump to check for cancer cells.

How is actinic keratosis treated?

In most cases, actinic keratosis can be treated and cured. The result is more favorable if the disease is detected in its early stages. Treatment options include the following:
• Topical creams or lotions
• Cryosurgery (freeze it)
• Electro-surgery (use of an electric current)

Treatment

Our Centers are equipped with the most advanced technology. The most modern treatment today is the exfoliation with the Lotus II Laser, Erbium micro fractionated. It is painless, fast, does not leave scars and the patient immediately continues his social activity.
It does not require the use of anesthesia of any kind, since the laser impact on the tissue is so fast that it does not cause pain or discomfort, allowing the treatment of multiple and large lesions.

How can actinic keratosis be prevented?

The best way to prevent actinic keratosis is to reduce sun exposure, especially during the hours when the sun is at its highest and the light is most intense. Some tips to keep in mind:

  • Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and a hat to protect areas of the skin that may be exposed to the sun.
    • Apply sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher at least 30 minutes before going outside. A broad spectrum sunscreen is recommended to protect the skin from both A and B ultraviolet rays.
    • Avoid tanning by staying in the sun or using solariums; it is preferable to use self-tanning products

In SKIN INJURIES, Rosacea

Rosacea

Hoogstra Medical Centers has the most advanced technology for the treatment of Rosacea. Depending on the type of Rosacea you have, you can carry out one of these treatments or combine them. Our team of Dermatologists will evaluate you and tell you what is the right technology to start your treatment.

Rosacea Treatment

Therapeutic 980nm Diode Laser:
Vascular effusions (spider veins): The most modern treatment today is laser therapy. The most widely used wavelengths for these vascular lesions are the 532nm, 980nm and 1,064 long pulse. The laser light passes through the skin without damaging it and discharges its energy into the hemoglobin of the blood vessel. This caloric effect causes damage to the vascular endothelium, this causes the collapse of the vessel and its disappearance.

The number of sessions depends on the size of the vascular lesion and the amount, generally 3 to 4 sessions are sufficient.Rosacea is an evolutionary disease that should not be confused with psoriasis

Radiofrequency with Micro needles

It is an innovative technology that helps regenerate the substances that are essential to keep skin tight and young. Its application is simple, painless, fast and does not harm the skin.

This contribution of technology resides in the application of electromagnetic radiation directly to the areas affected by rosacea and those that are not, but show signs of aging.

The radiofrequency with microneedles It produces a gradual heating on the skin, causing the blood vessels to close and acting on the existing collagen fibers, strengthening them and causing the formation of new collagen - an effect called collagen genesis -, causing skin contraction and reducing flaccidity. During the procedure a sensation of heat is perceived in the treated area, without becoming uncomfortable or painful. Although the skin may look red, it gradually disappears during the course of the day.

Radiofrequency with microneedles achieves the collapse of blood vessels, reduces erythema and produces a contraction of the skin (lifting effect), as it redefines the contour of the face, lifts the cheekbones and eyebrows, as well as the neck (jowl) and remodel the facial area.

The results are extraordinary from the first moment and are gradually increasing. It does not require anesthesia or a recovery period; inclusive, it is possible to sunbathe as long as the adequate protection is used.

The result is evident from the first session, when the contraction of the blood vessels and the stimulation of the existing collagen are immediately achieved. In a second stage this improvement will be accentuated, obtaining the maximum result around the first three months.

Recommended sessions: 1 every 15 or 30 days, for 4 or 5 months.

This treatment is performed by Dermatologists. You can start treatment at any of our centers. Dermatologists will evaluate you before the procedure and can clarify any questions you have. 

Microfocalized ultrasound: new method to reduce localized adiposities, tighten and rejuvenate the skin

Micro and Macro-Focused Ultrasound is an innovative system indicated for women and men today who want to improve their appearance without leaving daily activity.

It is an extremely effective treatment, often comparable to a facelift, but it does not leave scars, it does not take anesthesia or recovery time. It is a painless, quick and immediate recovery procedure that can be performed throughout the year to treat:

  • Express face and neck lift
  • Neckline wrinkles
  • Rosacea and Acne Acne Treatment
  • Reduction of localized fat
  • Skin tightening without scalpel

Unlike laser or surgical treatments, patients treated with microfocalized ultrasound can immediately continue their activity since it is a system that works in depth and does not affect the surface of the skin.

Ultrasound does not act on the surface of the skin like lasers do. With its exclusive multi-head system, it acts in the deep layers where collagen resides, in subcutaneous fatty tissue and in the muscular fascia system.

Microfocalized ultrasound produces results that can be observed immediately after the procedure is performed without skin damage and without recovery time. But the most significant results occur as time passes, reaching its maximum effect 60 days after the procedure.

The process involves creating new collagen, reducing localized fat, and tightening the skin.

It is indicated in:

  • Patients with mild-moderate aging.
  • Patients with a more important aging seeking a change not as significant as that produced by a facelift.
  • Patients with localized fat who want to improve without undergoing surgery.

Sebaceous cysts

Sebaceous cysts often originate from inflammation of the hair follicles.

¿Qué son los Quistes Sebáceos?

Los quistes sebáceos son bultos benignos que se forman bajo la piel debido a la obstrucción y la inflamación de los folículos pilosos. Aunque generalmente no son peligrosos, pueden causar molestias estéticas y, en algunos casos, llegar a infectarse.

Cuadro Clínico de los Quistes Sebáceos

Los quistes sebáceos suelen localizarse en áreas como la cara, el cuello y el tronco. Sus características clínicas más comunes son:

  • Movilidad: Se mueven libremente bajo la piel.
  • Crecimiento: Crecen lentamente con el tiempo.
  • Pain: No suelen causar dolor a menos que se infecten.

Cuando un quiste sebáceo se infecta, puede presentar los siguientes signos y síntomas:

  • Enrojecimiento de la piel: La piel alrededor del quiste puede ponerse roja.
  • Pain: Puede haber dolor en la zona afectada.
  • Aumento de la temperatura local: La piel sobre el quiste puede sentirse más caliente al tacto.
  • Drenaje: Se puede observar la salida de un material blanco grisáceo y caseoso.

Treatment of Sebaceous Cysts with Laser

El tratamiento convencional para los quistes sebáceos ha sido la resección quirúrgica, que implica la eliminación del quiste junto con la piel circundante. Sin embargo, en Hoogstra Centros Médicos ofrecemos una alternativa innovadora y menos invasiva: el tratamiento con láser.

Ventajas del Tratamiento Láser

  • Menos Invasivo: No requiere cirugía extensa.
  • Sin Anestesia: Gracias a la alta velocidad de impacto del láser Lotus III, no es necesario aplicar anestesia local ni cremas anestésicas.
  • Procedimiento Rápido y Eficaz: Se realiza un pequeño orificio en la parte más protuberante del quiste para su drenaje, seguido de la aplicación del láser en modalidad pulso largo para contraer las paredes del saco del quiste.
  • Recuperación Inmediata: El paciente puede continuar con sus actividades cotidianas inmediatamente después del procedimiento.
  • Indoloro y Sin Cicatrices: Este tratamiento es completamente indoloro y no deja cicatrices visibles.

En Hoogstra Centros Médicos, nos enorgullecemos de utilizar tecnología avanzada para ofrecer a nuestros pacientes tratamientos efectivos y mínimamente invasivos para quistes sebáceos y forúnculos.
