How to remove active spots

Active spots refer to facial spots. According to the "backup" sorting, they are generally divided into freckles and post-inflammatory pigmentation, sun spots and chloasma, age spots, moles, etc. How to remove and fade the spots?

How to remove active spots

➊ Clear diagnosis of pigmentation

Because there are so many types, you need to ask a dermatologist to clarify which one it is mentioned above.

Many times, dermatologists need to use certain methods to determine the type of pigmentation, such as dermoscopy, Wood's lamp examination, and even pathological diagnosis.

➋ Based on the diagnosis, targeted correction or treatment

Freckles or sun spots: First of all, you need to correct your lifestyle habits to avoid worsening of the spots. You can use certain skin care products, topical medications or even laser treatments to assist.

Post-inflammatory pigmentation: First, treat the skin diseases that induce pigmentation, such as acne, seborrheic dermatitis or allergic dermatitis; secondly, use appropriate, safe and effective freckle removal products, because these skin diseases often make the skin in a relatively sensitive state, so you must be more careful when using the products to avoid irritation from the active ingredients in the products.

Chloasma: Systematic treatment is required according to different inducing factors, and different levels of drug treatment are selected according to the size and color depth of the chloasma. Some patients can cooperate with topical medications or laser treatment, but the treatment plan varies from person to person.

Can pigmentation be prevented?

For patients without a family history, we tell them some important precautions:

➊ Sun protection

Sun exposure can induce the early appearance of various pigmentation spots, and for existing rashes, it can further deepen their color and increase their area, which requires the scientific use of sunscreen.

➋ Quit smoking

It is a recognized phenomenon that smoking significantly accelerates the aging of women's skin. Therefore, smoking less and reducing secondhand smoke are also important measures to prevent some pigmentation including age spots.

➌ "Anti-spot" work: long-term, habitual, and conscious

The freckle removal effect in many advertisements is described as "like peeling an egg". In fact, if the freckle removal effect of skin care products can reach 10-20%, and the freckle removal effect of drugs can reach 30%, they are already outstanding products or drugs.

Laser freckle removal is not a permanent solution. If you do not take scientific precautions after laser treatment, your condition will return to the pre-liberation era.

Therefore, everyone should lower their expectations for freckle removal, but at the same time, they should pay attention to protection and avoid harmful factors in daily life, so that the "freckle prevention" work can be truly implemented.

To remove active spots, you need to do a good job of sun protection, pay attention to post-sun repair, eat more beauty-enhancing foods, ensure quality sleep, and use less lead-containing cosmetics.

Active spots are caused by tyrosinase activity. They are unstable in nature and are easily affected by external factors such as sunlight and endocrine, causing changes in color depth.

The main forms of active spots are chloasma, freckles, and secondary pigmentation spots. Treatment of active spots generally requires internal adjustments, and the first thing to pay attention to is to do a good job of sun protection.

Ultraviolet rays in the sun are one of the causes of freckles. They can activate latent melanin, which slowly turns into small spots. So be sure to apply sunscreen when going out, and use an umbrella when the sun is strong.

If sun protection is not done well, then you must do a good job of post-sun repair. In addition to applying repair cream, you must also replenish moisture to your face.

It is also very important to use less cosmetics. Cosmetics contain a lot of metals such as lead and mercury. Although these things can make you look dazzling after putting on makeup, the price is that the quality of your skin will become worse and worse.

It is also important to ensure adequate sleep. Staying up late or lack of sleep will accelerate skin aging and even aggravate melanin deposition. In addition, active spots are not necessarily active. If not treated in time, they are likely to become qualitative spots or dermal spots, which are more difficult to eliminate.
