Curiosity in Dermatological Treatments

Areas of the body you didn't even know could be treated When we talk about dermatological treatments, we immediately think of well-known facial and body care, such as treating localized fat, removing spots, etc. Some aesthetic procedures - not very common - can also be performed by dermatologists and are in demand, as Dr. Irene Baldi, a dermatologist with 21 years of experience and a member of the Brazilian Society of Dermatology (SBD), assures. According to the specialist, intimate rejuvenation; restructuring of the 'sad' belly button (the fallen belly button); lightening of the armpits and treatment of the earlobe help with the feeling of well-being and take care of the patient's health. Intimate rejuvenation consists of filling the vulva, which can be done with laser, hyaluronic acid, or radiofrequency. "We open up a range of possibilities to assist not only with the aesthetic aspect but also with improving sexual life," says Irene. As for the 'sad' belly button, only those who have it know the expression, which is nothing more than the 'fallen' belly button. "The belly button takes on a more droopy appearance, and this can occur after pregnancies, weight fluctuations, liposuction, and even prolonged use of piercings," explains the dermatologist. "We perform treatments that stimulate collagen in the area, and the belly button returns to its normal shape," she describes. In the armpits, one of the complaints is the darkening of the area. This occurs due to various factors such as frequent skin friction, which increases melanin production, or frequent waxing of the area, as well as obesity and diabetes. "There are treatments that lighten the armpits, such as laser and specific peels, and it's always important to hydrate this area of the body and treat ingrown hairs," points out Irene. The earlobe is that old problem for those who wear earrings for a long time and end up with a stretched earlobe hole. "Fillers with acid are practical, quick, and restore the volume and support of the affected area," explains the dermatologist.
