¿Es posible eliminar las manchas de la piel?

Is it possible to remove skin blemishes?

Teresa de Miguel Miró


A resounding yes: it is possible to eliminate skin spots, especially if they are recent after your vacation. It is not an immediate or simple process: it requires consistency, appropriate depigmenting products, and, in many cases, aesthetic treatments.





Until recently, it was common to start the fight against spots in the fall. However, with a good daily photoprotector, there is no reason not to start treatment from the very first day after sun exposure.





Eliminating skin spots requires, first and foremost, identifying the type of spot we are dealing with. And although it is most common for these to be sunspots this time of year, other types of dyschromia must be ruled out to find the best treatment.





We advise performing our Free Preliminary Facial Diagnosis before opting for one protocol or another, as you must know the type of spot and how long it has been there to find the most effective one for each case.









Why do I get spots after summer?





The main cause is the overproduction of melanin after sun exposure. Although some spots had been forming under the skin for some time, they usually become visible after periods of intense sun.





How to identify sunspots?





The most frequent sunspots are melasmas: homogeneous, brown-colored, located on the forehead, cheekbones, and upper lip.





They are recurrent: even if they disappear with treatment, they tend to reappear if the skin is not cared for with sun protection and specific cosmetics.





They are related to estrogens.





What are the most effective active ingredients for eliminating spots?






  • Tranexamic acid. It regulates the cellular mechanisms involved in the formation of spots, preventing them and reducing them once they have appeared.




  • Watercress extract. It is capable of stimulating the proteasome system, which slows down with age, and inhibits the alpha-MSH molecule, responsible for activating the irregular formation of melanin.




  • Vitamin C. It contributes to inhibiting the action of melanin, unifies skin tone, and provides luminosity to the face.




  • Licorice extract. Effectively inhibits the effects of the tyrosinase enzyme and gradually disperses skin pigment, softening the spots.




  • Niacinamide. Thanks to its ability to decrease the transfer of melanosomes, which are responsible for melanin synthesis, it fights hyperpigmentation.
