We sought advice on the care of our face in Autumn from the expert, Dr. Efi P.Markou Dermatologist- Venereologist
Doctor, what changes does autumn bring to our face?
The changing of the seasons means seasonal changes for our skin. After the summer, the sun and the saltiness of the sea, our skin needs care. For healthy skin, proper hydration, exfoliation and removal of dead cells, repair of photoaging and treatment of blemishes/pigmentation are important.
Why do we need hydration, isn't the water we drink enough?
Proper Hydration is necessary as the skin is the largest organ of our body, with a surface area of 2 square meters! Drinking water is absorbed in a very small percentage by our skin. Our skin needs more moisture after summer. Proper hydration begins with choosing a quality skin care moisturizer, preferably fragrance-free. On the face, specialized treatments such as mesotherapy with vitamins, trace elements and hyaluronic acid offer appropriate hydration.
At DERMA, we have therapeutic mesotherapy with high concentrations of active ingredients for immediate and long-lasting results. The Dermafrac Hydrate, special mesotherapy moisturizing cocktail 10ml with hyaluronic acid offers the hydration our face deserves. The atraumatic mesotherapy system Dermafrac it is approved for dermatological use by the FDA, that is, the strictest drug and food organization in the world guarantees its quality.

When does Ms. Markou need our skin exfoliated?
When we feel that our skin is dull and that the daily care cleansing products are not enough to remove dirt and excess oil, then it is the right time to meet the Dermatological Cleansing. Thanks to Diamond Dermabrasion and crystals we can highlight the radiance of our skin lost from the sunshine. For all ages, fruit acid and glycolic acid chemical peels, with mild action and special controlled exfoliation formulas, offer shine and renewal without affecting everyday life. For skin more burdened by sun exposure, exfoliation can be done with special Fractional LASER (fractional laser), in order to renew the skin>40% in one session over a few days.

What is photoaging and what can we do about it?
Long-term exposure to the sun, especially in sunny countries like ours, prematurely ages the skin. The face acquires many expression wrinkles, discolorations and freckles that do not go away in the winter, cellular changes and precancerous lesions. Photoaging adds 10 years to our biological age.
However, youth does not need a medical scalpel. For skin more exposed to the sun, its innovative application Photodynamic Therapy (PDT photodynamic therapy) in one session allows us to remove the precancerous lesions of solar exposure. Photodynamic Therapy is the favorite medical treatment of the sunny cosmopolitan areas of California and the South of France.
Ms. Markou, from your many years of experience, do sun spots heal on the skin?
In mild discolorations, the right choice of local treatment in combination with specialized treatments of whitening agents (MelanPeel, SpotPeel, MelanStop, Whitening Mesotherapy) provides even tone. For more demanding cases, fractional technology LASERs (fractional CO2 laser) and Medical Photolysis Lumenis M22.With the innovative technology of photolysis Lumenis M22 IPL epidermal spots, melasma and redness of broken vessels are treated at the same time.
In your practice, DERMA Dermatology Center, you see many patients. Which dermatological diseases are worse in autumn?
Your question is correct! Autumn also means aggravation for many common skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, itchiness. Simple problems like dandruff on the fur of our little friends and the first scratches of the schools come with the new school year. At the same time, the memories of summer and open shoes seek remedies for ants and onychomycosis. Autumn brings us the routine of everyday life with minor and major dermatological problems. From healing to beauty his people DERMA Ioannina we take care of you!
