Dull skin: causes and how to get rid of it?

Causes that ruin skin tone

Dull skin results from the accumulation of dead skin cells on the surface, reducing its ability to reflect light. As a result, the skin becomes rougher, acquires a darker shade, and small wrinkles appear. Other causes of dull skin include:

• aging. With age, the production of collagen and elastin decreases, leading to a loss of skin elasticity. To prevent premature skin aging, avoid constant sun exposure and eliminate bad habits;
• smoking;
• stress;
• dryness and dehydration as a result of disrupted lipid synthesis and moisture deficiency in the skin. To hydrate and cleanse, drink plenty of fluids and use specialized cosmetic products;
• negative effects of sun and pollution—particularly ultraviolet radiation, which contributes to the formation of age spots. Therefore, use sunscreen products;
• lack of sleep—leads to loss of skin elasticity and wrinkle formation. Experts recommend maintaining a sleep schedule (at least 7–9 hours per day) and avoiding constant stress.

How to get rid of dull skin?

Modern cosmetology offers a number of effective methods to restore normal skin tone and even out its texture. At the LeoDerm Medical Center in Lviv, you can regain your face's freshness and glow through a range of professional treatments.

Biorevitalization

Biorevitalization is a skin rejuvenation method through injections of hyaluronic acid, polynucleotides, and amino acids. As a result, the natural production of collagen and elastin is activated, which promotes hydration of the face and body areas. Biorevitalization helps to increase skin tone, restore clear facial contours, and eliminate age spots. For several days after the procedure, it is recommended to avoid using alcohol-containing cosmetics, visiting saunas or tanning beds, and consuming alcohol.

Lumecca Photorejuvenation

Lumecca photorejuvenation is an innovative therapy method that allows you to get rid of dull skin in just a few sessions. Using a special applicator, high-intensity IPL light is applied to the skin to even out skin tone, remove pigmentation, eliminate vascular networks, and correct minor imperfections. The Lumecca procedure is quite comfortable to undergo, with possible sensations of slight burning and tingling, and positive results can be seen after the first session. The rehabilitation process takes from 2 to 14 days, depending on the patient's individual characteristics. The total number of procedures ranges from 1 to 5 sessions with a 2-week interval.

Microneedle RF Lifting

Microneedle RF lifting is a hardware procedure that improves blood circulation and skin tone, reduces subcutaneous fat volumes, and tightens the skin. By combining different methods of action, RF lifting provides long-lasting results. The procedure is completely painless and suitable for all skin types on the face, neck, décolleté, and other body areas. Positive effects are observed 4-6 weeks after the session and continue to improve over time.
