Sunlight is actually beneficial for our body. It provides the production of vitamin D that we need. Vitamin D is very important for our body. It is difficult to get vitamin D from food. It is found mostly in oily fish. If we do not consume a lot of oily fish, we get small amounts of vitamin D from food. But in order to be healthy, it is recommended that the vitamin D value in the serum should be around 70nmol/L. Therefore, our skin must come into contact with the sun's rays. Despite these benefits, there are studies that show that sun rays increase the risk of skin cancer called melanoma, especially in light-skinned and moles, by causing sunburn. In order to be protected from these negative effects, it is necessary to measure the time spent in the sun in sensitive people. Sun protection should be at a level that will not be damaged by the sun, but vitamin D deficiency will not occur.
In addition to biological aging, the aging of our skin is caused by external factors (such as sun, cold, air pollution, make-up materials) and internal factors (such as malnutrition, smoking, stress). The natural aging of the skin increases with the sun and occurs earlier. Changes in our skin such as dark spots, fine wrinkles, loss of elasticity, increase in vascularity and coarsening increase with the effect of the sun. As a result, our skin ages prematurely as a result of prolonged and intense exposure to UV and sunlight. You can easily see this in your own body. Look at an area that is not exposed to the sun, such as your buttocks, and your skin will be younger than your skin in areas that receive a lot of sun, such as the neck and face. With sun protection, we can reduce photoaging, that is, the effects of aging due to sun rays. It is very important to protect children from the sun.
The importance of sun protection: Exposure to sun rays that cause sunburn has been proven to increase the risk of skin cancer later in life. Sun exposure is one of the factors that increase the risk of skin cancer the most. Each sunburn increases the harmful effect. For this reason, it is never too late to care about protection against the sun with the logic of profiting from wherever the damage is done. It is very harmful to get an artificial tan with a solarium. It significantly increases the risk of skin cancer. Solarium increases the tan of the skin with UV rays, but does not increase the skin's self-protection from sun rays. Therefore, a tanned skin with a solarium cannot protect itself from sunburn while in the sun. The first rule in sun protection is to use sunscreen cream. However, it is still not safe for someone who has applied sunscreen cream to stay under the sun for a long time. Because it is currently not possible to literally block the sun with sunscreen. No sunscreen can provide complete protection. People should not stay in the sun for too long, thinking that sunscreens block all harmful rays. Protective clothing will help. In addition, sunbathing should be avoided between the hours of 11.00-15.00, when the sun's rays are most intense. Especially people with moles need better protection from the sun. Also, some moles can turn into malignant moles. It is important to know which moles are dangerous. In order to understand what happens to your moles, you should apply the ABCD rule to see the doctor. A: It is asymmetry. It is important if there are uneven color and shape changes in the mole, that is, if there is asymmetry. B: Border. It means border. It is important that there are indentations and crookedness in the borders of the mole. A: Color. It is color. Benin is that there are different colors in it. It is the presence of different colors (black, brown, dark brown, red) instead of being all one color. D: Diameter. is the diameter. It is important that the diameter of the mole is greater than 60 mm. If 2 or more of the 4 criteria in the ABCD rule are positive, you should see a dermatologist as soon as possible without panic. brown, dark brown, red) colors. D: Diameter. is the diameter. It is important that the diameter of the mole is greater than 60 mm. If 2 or more of the 4 criteria in the ABCD rule are positive, you should see a dermatologist as soon as possible without panic. brown, dark brown, red) colors. D: Diameter. is the diameter.

Of the defeats in laser and ipl devices, what excites me the most is Robot lasers. These are computerized systems that enable the selected area to receive homogeneous and sufficient energy by controlling the data simultaneously with a high-resolution webcam, temperature and distance sensor, and a computer interface. Since it measures the temperature on the skin surface instantly, it reduces the possibility of burns.
Other innovations that can be mentioned apart from laser and ipl devices; Eflornithine is cream. This cream is an irreversible blocker of the enzyme Eflornithine ornithine decarboxylase, which leads to the reduction of polymines, which are the building blocks of rapidly dividing tissues. Studies have also shown that the addition of laser treatments increases the success of the treatment. The cream, which is not available in Turkey, is sold abroad under the name Vagina, unfortunately it is expensive.
Except this; In a study in which melanin-containing liposomal capsules called Lipoxome were used topically to enrich the region with melanin with melanin solutions, a statistically significant difference was found between the areas with and without melanin, but the result was considered disappointing when the additional effort and cost in the application was taken into account.
When it comes to innovations in laser and ipl epilation, it is necessary to talk about laser and ipl devices produced for home. They are low-power devices currently being produced at IPL and Diode laser wavelengths. Although there are many studies that find household appliances effective, it is not very possible to achieve permanent hair reduction with such low-power energy producing devices. Although the measurements are considered safe for the eye due to the low dose when used appropriately, incorrect use (shooting too close to the eye) or malfunctions in the device will increase the likelihood of complications. Another problem is paroxymal hypertrichosis. As we know, heating the area at doses lower than the effective dose increases especially fine hairs. There are publications about the increase of hair in people who already epilate with home appliances.
