Major causes of stains

ultra-violet rays
UV rays are a major cause of blemishes. Ultraviolet rays are the source of blemishes.Overproduction of melanin andThe skin's turnover is also disrupted. After years of exposure to UV rays, melanin that would normally be expelled by skin turnover accumulates, resulting in the formation of spots.

However, when the skin dries outBarrier function is reducedand are more susceptible to damage from ultraviolet rays and other sources. Therefore, inadequate moisturizing can lead to the formation of blemishes.

How to remove stains using equipment

There are two main types of spot removal treatment using equipment: laser and light therapy.
laser therapy
Laser treatment is a method of improving blemishes by using a laser to destroy the melanin pigment that causes the blemishes. There are various types of lasers with different irradiation outputs and wavelengths, such as Q-switched lasers and laser toning. The advantage is that the appropriate laser can be selected and treated according to the symptoms and depth of the blemish.
phototherapy
Phototherapy is a method of destroying the pigment in a blemish by irradiating light of a wavelength appropriate for the condition. It is particularly suited for the treatment of spots in shallow areas. It is also suitable for people with skin problems other than spots, such as redness of the skin and dilation of capillaries. Furthermore, the heat generated by irradiation activates the fibroblasts that produce collagen, so the skin can be expected to become firmer and have a more even texture.

Cautions for blemish removal treatment

When undergoing cosmetic procedures as a way to remove facial blemishes, keep the following in mind
Receive thorough counseling.
Before treating a blemish, it is important to have a thorough consultation. During the counseling, the doctor will assess the symptoms of the spots and suggest an appropriate treatment plan. The price and follow-up services after the treatment will also be explained to you, and you should confirm that you are satisfied with the details before deciding on a treatment plan. Also, ask questions about anything you are concerned about. You can rest assured that the clinic will be attentive to your questions and concerns.
Take care of aftercare
After treatment for spot removal, aftercare is also very important. In particular, the following precautions should be taken
- Protect the affected area
- No friction or irritation to the affected area
- UV protection
In the case of laser treatment, the skin is in a mild burn state and the affected area needs to be protected. If the affected area is not protected, there is a possibility of hyperpigmentation. Also, in both laser and light therapy, be careful of irritation and friction to the affected area after the treatment. Irritation and friction can also lead to hyperpigmentation, and the spots may not be removed cleanly. In addition, UV protection is also important after treatment. UV rays can cause new spots to appear on delicate post-treatment skin, so be sure to use sunscreen and other UV care products.
