What causes freckles? How to choose the right treatment method for freckles?

Freckles are familiar to everyone. Freckles are a very common phenomenon in life. After freckles occur, they cause great harm to female friends. Only when we understand the causes of freckles can we carry out targeted treatment. So what are the causes of freckles?

What causes freckles?

Some people think that having freckles on the face is not a big deal, and some even think that freckles are a symbol of cuteness, but why do freckles appear? As we all know, melanin is needed in the skin because it can prevent ultraviolet rays from penetrating the body. If a woman has more melanin in her skin but it is evenly distributed, there will be no spots on her skin, her skin will just be darker; on the contrary, if another woman has less melanin in her skin but it is unevenly distributed, then there will definitely be pigment spots on her skin, which is why freckles generally occur more frequently in women with fair skin and are more obvious.

Freckles, like other pigmented spots, are very sensitive to sunlight. When exposed to strong ultraviolet rays, the number of freckles will increase and the color will gradually become darker. Freckles are also hereditary, and are often inherited from parents to children, or from siblings. Freckles become more noticeable as people approach puberty. Pregnancy is another reason why the number of freckles increases or the cute freckles become more noticeable.

Choosing the right treatment for freckles

It is difficult to completely remove it with conventional treatments. If the treatment is too shallow, the lesions cannot be removed. If you want to achieve the ideal treatment depth, scars will definitely be left.

Topical medications are usually ineffective and generally serve only as a placebo. Some people mistakenly believe that freckles are caused by endocrine disorders, so they use oral medications to treat them. In fact, freckles have nothing to do with endocrine, and regulating endocrine will not play any therapeutic role. Treatments such as drug spot application (drug corrosion), chemical peeling (beautifyingly called skin resurfacing in beauty salons), high-frequency electricity and ordinary carbon dioxide laser are very dangerous, can easily leave scars, and the effect is not ideal. Therefore, please do not choose the above treatments.

In comparison, liquid nitrogen cryotherapy is a more satisfactory treatment method. Although its efficacy and safety are not satisfactory, it can still be used compared with the treatment methods mentioned above, especially because the cost of this treatment method is cheap. The most ideal treatment method is high-tech Q-switched laser treatment, which is highly effective and safe, but the treatment cost is relatively high.

I believe that through the introduction of the above article, everyone should have a better understanding of the causes of freckles. I hope that after understanding the causes of freckles, everyone must master the correct face cleansing method and do a good job of skin care to stay away from the trouble of freckles.
