Reclaim Even-Toned Skin with Advanced Age Spot Treatments at Ariana Esthetic

Successfully treating age spots with laser treatment is only half the battle. To maintain your clear, rejuvenated results and prevent the recurrence of future hyperpigmentation, a consistent at-home skincare regimen is essential. Think of your daily routine as the insurance policy for your investment in laser therapy.

1. Non-Negotiable: Daily Sun Protection

Since sun exposure is the single leading cause of sun spots, rigorous protection is mandatory—especially in sunny Edmonton.

• Broad-Spectrum SPF: You must use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (UVA/UVB protection) with an SPF of 30 or higher, 365 days a year, regardless of the weather. Reapply every two hours when outdoors.

• Physical Barriers: Supplement sunscreen with hats, sunglasses, and seeking shade, particularly during peak sun hours (10 AM to 4 PM).

2. Post-Treatment Care: Soothing and Healing

Immediately following a fractional or other laser procedure, your skin will be sensitive. Follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Sara Hashemzadeh, which will include:

• Gentle Cleansing: Use a mild, non-irritating cleanser and lukewarm water.

• Hydration: Apply post-procedure ointments or specialized healing balms to keep the treated area moist and aid the repair process.

3. Maintaining Clarity with Targeted Skincare

To actively prevent new pigment from forming, we recommend incorporating medical-grade products into your routine. This is where the power of the AlumierMD Skincare line comes in. These formulations contain high concentrations of proven ingredients that suppress melanin production and brighten the skin:

• Antioxidants (Vitamin C): Applied in the morning, Vitamin C serums (like AlumierMD EverActive C&E™) defend against daily environmental damage that causes pigment formation and boost skin radiance.

• Retinoids (Vitamin A): Used at night, retinols (like AlumierMD Retinol Smoothing Serum) accelerate skin cell turnover, helping to shed pigmented cells and smooth texture.

• Pigment Inhibitors: Ingredients like Kojic Acid, Tranexamic Acid, and Hydroquinone (where appropriate) are crucial for directly blocking the enzymes that cause hyperpigmentation.

By combining your personalized laser treatment plan with a consistent, physician-recommended home care routine, you take complete control of your skin's health and maintain your beautiful, clear results.
