Treat melasma, freckles and other skin discoloration now!
People love going out it in the sun during
the summer to soak up all the warmth. However, some also worry about this as
being exposed to strong sun rays for too long can lead to skin discoloration
such as melasma, freckles and etc.
Melasma is a skin discoloration caused by
over production of melanin and it can be mostly seen clustered around the
cheekbones as well as the cheek area. Hence, it makes the skin look dull and
not clear.
Whereas freckles are brown spots that look
like sesame seeds scattered everywhere. It normally forms on the cheeks, the
top of the arms, the chest and any other area that is easily exposed in the
sun.
Lastly, age spots are formed to protect the
skin when it has been exposed in the sun for a long time. It is the formation
of spots as the dead skin cells and epidermal cells become thicker. Normally,
it starts forming in your 40s and the number increases as you age.
WONJIN medical staff advised that “to
understand the depth of the pigmentation and the degree of color a thorough
examination and consultation is necessary to diagnose the patient with the
exact treatment which could either involve injections or laser.”
Continuing on, they stated that “patients
have to be picky about the hospital that they choose for the treatment by
checking if they have various devices that accommodate their skin type.
Especially, laser treatments can cause burns and there are other side effects
that can occur. Therefore, it’s important to go to a hospital with medical
staff that has plenty of clinical experience.”
After treatment for pigmentation, it is
important to moisturize the skin. Also, it is important to apply sun cream
every three hours when going out and taking extra care of the skin to prevent re-occurrence.
