Disorders of blood extravasation

Blood extravasation discolorations are changes in the normal skin colour due to various causes. We must distinguish among:

• Recent discolorations due to bruising
• Recent discolorations resulting from post-surgical or instrumental treatments as part of aesthetic medicine;
• Long-standing discoloration due to the degeneration of ferritin in hemosiderin (hemosiderin dyschromia).

In turn, hemosiderin dyschromia is subdivided into:

• Post-sclerotherapy hemosiderin dyschromia;
• Disorders due to chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)

Although they are of little importance from a physiological point of view, due to their significant impact on the patient’s perception of themselves and their psychosocial well-being, a number of treatments, both pharmacological and otherwise, are available, to treat these imperfections.

Always attentive to a holistic view of treatment, PIAM offers innovative solutions to meet patients’ needs.
