It accelerates collagen breakdown and promotes wrinkles.<br>When combined with ultraviolet radiation, its harmful effects intensify. This interaction promotes free radical production and increased oxidative stress, worsening skin damage and contributing to pigmentation irregularities.<br>Over time, skin becomes thinner, less resilient and gradually loses its ability to regenerate.<\/p>\n<h2>How does pollution affect the skin ?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Pollution affects the skin through several mechanisms.<br>Pollutant particles penetrate or settle on the skin barrier, causing excessive free radical production.<br>These free radicals damage cell structures, including membranes, DNA and dermal proteins such as collagen and elastin. This gradually degrades the extracellular matrix, essential for skin firmness and elasticity.<br>Pollution also impairs skin barrier function, increasing permeability and promoting dehydration. It causes chronic low-grade inflammation, accelerating ageing.<br>Finally, certain pollutants activate specific receptors (particularly AhR receptors), disrupting normal skin cell function and encouraging pigmentation disorders.<\/p>\n<h2>Aesthetic-oriented medicine techniques to combat the effects of pollution<\/h2>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Aesthetic treatment takes a comprehensive approach to detoxify the skin, strengthen its natural defences and stimulate regeneration.<br>Treatments are selected according to skin type, degree of damage and the patient's expectations.<\/p>\n<h3>Restore the complexion\u2019s radiance and improve skin quality<\/h3>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Revitalising techniques are central to comprehensive management of skin quality. They aim both to correct visible changes and to restart biological mechanisms essential for healthy skin function.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/drromanovaleria.ch\/en\/solutions\/mesotherapy\/\">Mesotherapy<\/a> delivers revitalising substances \u2014 vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants \u2014 directly into the dermis. This targeted action stimulates cell activity and repair and actively combats oxidative stress.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/drromanovaleria.ch\/en\/solutions\/injections\/skinbooster\/\">Skinboosters<\/a>, lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid formulations specifically designed to improve skin quality, deeply hydrate the skin. They restore suppleness, improve texture and give skin a brighter, more even appearance.<br>Superficial to medium-depth chemical <a href=\"https:\/\/drromanovaleria.ch\/en\/solutions\/peels\/\">peels<\/a> exfoliate the epidermis's surface layers, unclog pores and improve complexion evenness.<\/p>\n<h3>Correct signs of aging related to pollution<\/h3>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">When wrinkles and skin laxity are present, targeted treatments are offered.<br>Botulinum toxin smooths certain expression lines and prevents their worsening. It is indicated for forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet.<br>Hyaluronic acid injections restore volume and fill established wrinkles.<br>Collagen stimulators stimulate natural collagen production and improve skin density.<br>Technologies such as radiofrequency or ablative lasers increase skin density and improve laxity.<\/p>\n<h3>Treat pigment spots induced by pollution<\/h3>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Pigmentation disorders are particularly common in patients chronically exposed to pollution, which disrupts melanin regulation.<br>In this context, a <a href=\"https:\/\/drromanovaleria.ch\/en\/solutions\/peels\/laser-peel\/\">laser peel<\/a> can brighten the complexion and reduce pigmentation.<br>Daily use of suitable sun protection is essential to prevent recurrence.<\/p>\n<h3>Strengthening the skin barrier<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"199\" data-end=\"453\" class=\"translation-block\">Restoring the skin barrier is fundamental to maintaining healthy, resilient skin. It determines the skin's ability to protect itself from external stressors and preserve its biological balance.<br>Regular medical protocols are particularly appropriate for this purpose. These may combine mesopeel sessions \u2014 generally twice yearly \u2014 with an annual Skinbooster session.<br>Strengthening the skin barrier also requires a rigorous, suitable dermocosmetic routine. It should include effective protection against environmental stressors, topical antioxidants \u2014 such as vitamins C and E or niacinamide \u2014 and cleansing that is both effective and respectful of skin balance.<\/p>\n<h2>Results<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"292\" class=\"translation-block\">Aesthetic treatments significantly improve skin quality and reduce pollution-related changes. However, because exposure is chronic, lasting results require regular, careful follow-up.<br>A gradual approach tailored to each patient's specific needs is therefore essential. It provides harmonious, natural and lasting results while respecting skin balance and physiology.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions about pollution's effects on the skin<\/h2>\n<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-1760\" open>\n<summary data-accordion-index=\"1\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-1760\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t Can pollution really damage the skin ?<br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n<p>Yes.
