How to get rid of acne, acne, remove wrinkles and age spots

In April 2018, the results of the annual survey “Gedeon Richter Women’s Health Index” became known. According to him, 73% of Russian women visit a gynecologist at least once a year for prophylaxis. At the same time, with the appearance of skin problems, acne, only 2% will turn to a female doctor. They would rather go to a dermatologist (51%) or a beautician (22%). Meanwhile, the root cause of the appearance of acne, edema, age spots, facial hair may lie in a hormonal imbalance and indicate the presence of a disease, the treatment for which is carried out by the gynecologist.

“Doctors-cosmetologists have standards for the treatment of various cosmetological diseases, depending on their severity,” notes Alisa Sharova, Ph.D., associate professor of the Department of Reconstructive and Plastic Surgery, Cosmetology and Cell Technologies of Pirogov Medical University. – A special place in them is occupied by hormonal drugs, which help to significantly increase the effectiveness of therapy. But they should still be appointed by a women’s health specialist. ”

Understanding why women have skin problems and how to avoid it.

The reasons: testosterone, as well as the female hormone progesterone, the level of which increases in the second phase of the menstrual cycle (from the 12-15th day from the beginning of the previous menstruation), increase the production of sebum. It, in turn, clogs the hair follicles, bacteria multiply in them, and inflammation appears.

What to do? The cosmetologist will help to eliminate external manifestations. He will also recommend antibacterial agents, daily home care and professional procedures (cleaning, peeling, etc.). In order to eliminate the root cause of acne, it is better to contact a gynecologist who will prescribe a suitable course of drug therapy.

The reasons: with age, the level of female hormones estrogen decreases, which are responsible for the elasticity of the skin and the retention of moisture in it.

What to do? Go to a gynecologist who will help restore estrogen levels, and a beautician who will deal with external manifestations. Also, drink at least 1 to 2 liters of water per day to rehydrate and stay active.

“If you need to restore the skin frame, I advise you to do a lifting and remove excess subcutaneous fat in the submental area without punctures and anesthesia. Now in Russia, Accent technology with the Face UP procedure is presented, which, using a new type of RF (radio frequency therapy), will painlessly help to rejuvenate the skin and even remove the “second” chin, ”explains Alexey Veliky, founder of the project“ Chief for Beauty ”, General Director“ National Beauty Company “.

The reasons: retains fluid in the body and increases the appetite of progesterone. Therefore, the closer to menstruation, the greater the number on the scales.

What to do? Monitor your diet at any stage of the cycle. Before your period, increase your protein and zinc intake (porcini, legumes, liver, molasses). Replace sweets with dried fruits.

The reasons: unwanted hair growth is triggered by increased levels of androgens in the body.

What to do? Be sure to visit a gynecologist, since the active growth of facial hair may indicate a number of gynecological diseases (polycystic ovaries, infertility, etc.). In addition, you will need to do an ultrasound of the pelvic organs and take a blood test for hormone levels. The doctor will prescribe the treatment.

The reasons: progesterone. It is he who, in the second phase of the cycle (from the 12-15th day from the beginning of the previous menstruation), actively retains fluid in the body.

What to do? The hormone levels can be normalized. Talk to your gynecologist.

The reasons: appear, as a rule, during pregnancy and menopause – during strong hormonal changes. At this time, the pigment melanin is intensively produced in the cells responsible for pigmentation, which, under the influence of the sun, stains the skin areas in a dark color.

What to do? Avoid direct sunlight. After pregnancy, the spots can go away on their own. A cosmetologist and a gynecologist will help to cope with age spots, as well as a gynecologist, who will tell you how to make up for the deficiency of female hormones.

The reasons: some women may develop stretch marks on their bodies during pregnancy. So the structure of the skin is affected by the increasing level of the hormone estrogen.

What to do? It is difficult to get rid of stretch marks. Therefore, it is better to play it safe in advance and try to prevent them. Use moisturizers and oils, watch your weight, and be active.

The reasons: The production of female hormones during menopause is sharply reduced, and male hormones begin to dominate in the body. Because of this, the total amount of fat increases and it is redistributed to the abdominal area.

What to do? Visit a gynecologist and nutritionist. The first will select a therapy that will help fill the deficiency of female hormones, and the second will teach you how to eat rationally in order to lose weight, because with a waist circumference of more than 88 cm, hypertension and diabetes mellitus can develop.
