5 tips for an even complexion

Age spots affect around 200 million women around the world. These pigmentary disorders seem to affect every skin type. If you also suffer from brown spots and want to regain an even complexion, follow the beauty advice given in this article! Use products suited to your skin type Uneven skin tone often affects well-being. Women with uneven skin tone therefore seek at all costs to fade brown spots that are often considered unsightly. Although this is a good intention, be careful with the products and treatments you use to regain an even complexion. Whether you use dermatological or pharmaceutical products, be aware that certain treatments are likely to irritate your skin and make it more fragile. If your soft skin becomes uncomfortable, stop immediately and change treatments. Protect your skin from UV Sun rays are one of the main reasons for the appearance of spots on the face. Neither your morning serum nor your makeup really protects you from UV rays. Hormones can also promote the appearance of pigment spots, especially before or after pregnancy. To fight against the sun, there is only one solution: sunscreen! Even out your complexion with a weekly scrub Radiantly beautiful skin is not necessarily skin that needs to be overloaded with care of all kinds. To take care of your skin and fight against a dull complexion and brown spots, do a gentle exfoliation weekly. This cares for the skin and complexion by ridding it of dead cells, activating skin regeneration and giving a nice little boost even to fragile skin. Hide pigment spots A complexion that is not uniform tends to make women feel self-conscious. If you are in this situation, you can always even out your skin tone with makeup. By choosing a good moisturizer for the base, and a foundation adapted to your skin tone, you will be able to fade brown spots artificially. In just five minutes, you will find an even and luminous complexion. Focus on a serum rich in active ingredients A serum containing a high quantity of active ingredients fighting against free radicals, pollution and brown spots are powerful allies for women who want to regain an even complexion. Often, a serum with vitamin C and niacinamide does the job well! A treatment rich in niacinamide stops the transfer of melanin to the skin. This helps prevent the appearance of brown spots on the face. Such treatment protects and nourishes skin that already suffers from spots. The light revelation against spots on the face: our Brightening program Lightinderm's Brightening program helps to even out your complexion. Our device combines 3 technologies (light therapy, a serum and a tissue massage) that help you get rid of your uneven skin tone.

Protect your skin well with a sunscreen adapted to your skin, and you will spend the summer with soft skin and a nice even complexion. 9 preventive actions to maintain the beauty of your skin. The best thing to do to fight against dark spots and regain an even complexion is to follow a few simple rules that protect the skin. When the sun is shining, use sunscreen mists. They complement the action of your sunscreen. Use anti-aging serums as soon as you reach your 40s. Before going to bed, apply an anti-stain cream. Do you stay in the sun for a long time? Apply your sunscreen generously to your skin. To preserve your skin and complexion, wear a hat or cap. If you are expecting a baby, stay in the shade as much as possible. If you're not a fan of the once-a-week face mask, eat foods rich in antioxidants! They delay the aging of the skin. Choose an oil rich in antioxidants as your preferred treatment. It hydrates your face and will protect your skin. Prefer a specific eye contour treatment for this area where the skin is thinner. To have a beautiful complexion and soft skin, choose beauty products like blurs, foundations or DD creams. They protect from the sun and help to have an even complexion.

Interview with Doctor Rousseaux

You are an expert in aesthetic dermatology and today, you regularly use Lightinderm treatment programs in your practice. Could you tell us more about the use of light therapy in your practice? Light therapy, or photobiomodulation, is a technology that has interested me for a very long time. I also have several light therapy machines in the office, which are on all day to treat different skin problems. Either as a treatment alone or as an accompaniment to another treatment. I think that this technology is, even today, little or poorly known but that it allows us to have very good results, without causing pain.  Does without pain mean that light therapy is less effective? With other techniques, such as laser for example, we will have a thermal impact on the skin which will inevitably cause pain, that is to say the skin will react and be inflammatory. Whereas with LEDs, we will work in the cell, painlessly. However, the results will not be seen immediately... Which explains why some doctors use this technique less. Many of them believe, unfortunately, that pain equals results. LED treatment targets cells and achieves gradual and gentle results. Is Lightinderm a good relay at home for procedures performed in the office? Yes ! Before, we had to bring our patients back for an LED session. Now, thanks to Lightinderm and its triple technology – massages, serums, lights – patients have at their disposal a device to calm the skin and stimulate its regeneration. Should Lightinderm be used only as a relay for in-office procedures or as a treatment in its own right? Lightinderm can be used very well after in-office treatments, but it can also be used on a daily basis, for patients who do not wish to perform more invasive procedures, for example. Have you had any feedback from your patients on Lightinderm? I got very good feedback! Patients like it and, until now, I have never had any negative feedback. What we are often told is that Lightinderm gives a healthy glow and that it is also a real moment for yourself. How do you describe using Lightinderm? I use it daily evening or morning and it's very simple! It only takes 3 minutes. Personally, I use it all over my face, focusing on the forehead and neck. Light is the future! This technology allows you to have very good results, without pain!

Interview with Doctor Christine Noé

Doctor Noé, You participated in observational studies launched by Lightinderm on your patients. What results have you seen? Indeed, I had the opportunity to participate in two studies with the Repair and Purity programs. The first one I tested was the Repair program. Given the quality of the work carried out by the laboratory, I knew the results would be interesting, but I did not expect them to be as good or as fast. The patients I included were between 50 and 70 years old and all noticed real improvements with smoother, firmer skin that they described as “plumped”. They also noticed that their complexion was brighter. In 8 out of 10 cases, some wrinkles have faded, sometimes significantly. The ease of use of the device and the pleasant nature of the procedure were mentioned by all patients. Regarding the Purity program, given my experience using photobiomodulation on acne, I assumed that the results would be there. Again, this was the case. The use of effective active ingredients associated with lights is real progress. I therefore participated in an observational study over 3 months and it confirmed the effectiveness of the program and its very good tolerance. The results improve with use and patients have noticed a real reduction in all inflammatory and comedonal lesions, as well as a reduction in redness and an improvement in the quality and comfort of the skin. Results: more soothed, smoother, more uniform skin, a reduction in pore size and much more luminosity.   You are an expert in photobiomodulation, can you explain to us what it is? It's both quite simple and quite complicated. In fact, animal cells, like plant cells, have receptors that respond to certain lights in the visible and infrared spectrum. These lights will trigger reactions, which will generate syntheses and activate cell proliferation. They will therefore have an impact on cellular metabolism. This is called photobiomodulation. Thanks to this technique, it is for example possible to improve the synthesis of collagen, to reduce wrinkles, or to have an impact on certain bacteria which intervene in acne. By carefully selecting the lights and possibly the associated active ingredients which will be boosted by these lights, we can obtain very interesting results, both cosmetic and therapeutic, with perfect tolerance. This painless and effective technology is insufficiently known and that is a shame. I have used it in the office for many years for multiple medical and aesthetic indications.   Can you tell us in a few words what you think of Lightinderm technology? You have had the opportunity to test Lightinderm on yourself. What did you think of it? What interested me was the rigor of the work that was carried out in order to design an efficient, secure and easy-to-use device. So to summarize: scientific rigor, effectiveness and safety. I also appreciate the dynamism of the company which continues its research with cutting-edge technologies and quality clinical studies with a view to developing other treatments. To answer the second part of your question, it is obvious that I test on myself what I offer to my patients. Using the Lightinderm device is simple: it's a 3-minute moment of pleasure that I give myself every evening, with the Repair program. As with the patients I tested, I noticed real results on my face: over the weeks, my skin gained density and my complexion brightened. How do you integrate Lightinderm treatment protocols into your practices and for what indications? When a patient consults me for an aesthetic reason, I establish a treatment strategy. Offering the Lightinderm treatment is obviously an extension of the aesthetic procedures that we perform at the office. Lightinderm has developed 5 treatment programs that meet different needs. For example, the Repair program can be perfectly suitable following filler injections with hyaluronic acid. Its high concentration of hyaluronic acid optimizes skin hydration and contributes to the plumping effect. Furthermore, photolyase, also present in the Repair serum and which is activated by blue light, plays a role in DNA repair, which gives it an anti-aging effect. Other components intervene through their anti-inflammatory and remodeling effects. So I know that the Repair program will improve the quality of my patient's skin while prolonging the effects of the injection. But I also recommend it to patients who seek advice to improve and maintain their skin without performing cosmetic procedures because I know that the results will be good, well beyond those obtained with traditional cosmetics. Doctor Noé, how did you know Lightinderm and the founders of this French brand? Beautiful encounters are often the result of chance. It was in 2015, during a conference, that I met Professor Jean-Alexis Grimaud and Géraldine Decaux. We discussed Inter-cellular dialogue and photobiomodulation. Professor Grimaud suggested that I visit his laboratory at the business incubator of Cochin hospital and I went there for the first time in June 2016. During this visit, I saw Géraldine again who shared some research work with Professor Grimaud. She explained her project to me and I was seduced by the scientific and serious approach of her team. The unique combination of 3 technologies required surrounding yourself with experts in different fields and coordinating their skills. The development of Lightinderm treatments mobilized a team of scientists and engineers and was the subject of several hundred tests. The effectiveness and safety of all programs have been tested and validated using a strict 3-step development protocol: in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo (i.e. in patients). It took 7 years of research and 36 patents before commercialization. I think this is what perfectly sums up Lightinderm's perfectionism and seriousness. These are qualities that appealed to me and that’s what made me want to work with them. In this collaboration, what did you create together? I acted as an expert on photobiomodulation in order to guide and validate the choice of wavelengths to be used in the different phases of the projects.
