If you are concerned about facial redness, melasma, and dark spots

Hello,

"The sunlight has made my melasma and dark spots so noticeable..

I’m worried because makeup cannot even cover them."

"My face flushes easily.

The stress is severe—can it be treated?"

Many people have become concerned about melasma and dark spots in this sunny weather, when the sunlight feels especially harsh.

In addition to melasma and dark spots, people who are stressed by facial redness also visit dermatology clinics.

However, some people hastily decide to undergo a procedure based solely on the many online reviews, only to become upset when their skin becomes more irritated or they do not see results.

Today, I would like to explain the aspects that many people with private concerns about facial redness, melasma, and dark spots are curious about.

Starting with the true causes of facial redness and melasma, I will explain the principles of lasers that may help treat them and the proper direction for treatment.

Facial redness occurs when the capillaries in the skin lose their ability to contract normally and become abnormally enlarged after prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays or sudden temperature changes.

Rather than being a simple, temporary flush, the face becomes red easily, and once it becomes red, the redness does not subside for a long time.

In severe cases, tiny blood vessels may be visible through the skin (telangiectasia), and chronic inflammation may also occur.

Sudden temperature changes can irritate the skin and cause the blood vessels to dilate.

Melasma and dark spots develop when the skin excessively produces “melanin pigment” to protect itself from ultraviolet rays, and the pigment cells clump together because they cannot be expelled.

They mainly appear around the eyes, cheekbones, and forehead, where exposure to ultraviolet rays is high, in dull patches of varying sizes and brown or dark-brown shades.

In particular, because the pigment is present not only on the skin’s surface (the epidermis) but also in deeper areas (the dermis), the boundaries are unclear and the pigment may appear to spread diffusely like a haze.

DERMA V laser is primarily used to treat facial redness, melasma, and dark spots.

This is because the DERMA V laser uses two different wavelengths of light to address vascular and pigment concerns on the skin’s surface and in deeper areas.

First, the key to treating facial redness is restoring dilated blood vessels to their normal state.

The 532 nm wavelength of the DERMA V laser targets red blood vessels close to the skin’s surface, followed by the 1064 nm wavelength to treat deeper blood vessels in the dermal layer.

Melasma and dark spots require step-by-step treatment according to the depth at which the pigment is located.

First, the 532 nm wavelength is used to focus on and break down the melanin pigment in melasma, freckles, and dark spots that are deeply concentrated on the skin’s surface.

Then, for deep pigmentation that does not disappear easily in appearance, the 1064 nm wavelength reaches the dermal layer and can block the underlying cause of continued proliferation of melasma cells.

Facial redness and melasma are not simply issues with skin texture.

Laser treatment applies strong stimulation and heat to the skin’s surface, so some people worry that their melasma may become darker or that their skin may become more sensitive.

However, the DERMA V laser uses an intelligent cooling system to protect the skin’s surface by cooling it at the same time as the laser is applied, thereby reducing the risk of heat damage and side effects.

For this reason, it is often used to treat facial redness while also improving stubborn melasma and dark spots that do not disappear easily.

Munjeong Dermatology Clinic (Department: Dermatology) How can treatment results be improved?

To improve the results of treatment for facial redness and melasma, laser procedures should be accompanied by treatment to restore the damaged skin barrier.

The skin barrier must be strengthened to protect blood vessels and pigment cells from external irritation and to help maintain the effects of laser treatment for longer.

Some people want to receive multiple procedures using a higher laser intensity in order to see faster results.

Moisturizing the skin barrier and cleansing gently are important.

However, skin with redness and melasma often has a weakened barrier, so excessive irritation may instead cause side effects such as severe inflammation or scarring.

Therefore, it is advisable to adjust the intensity of the laser procedure appropriately while also using medication that supports skin regeneration or managing the skin barrier.

Today, I shared information that may be helpful for those visiting a Munjeong dermatology clinic due to concerns about facial redness, melasma, and dark spots.

Because everyone has a different skin thickness and pigment depth, it is important to receive a detailed diagnosis before undergoing a procedure.

Please also remember that managing your usual habits after the procedure, such as using moisturizing cream and sunscreen, is important.

Thank you. This was Jamsil U&I Clinic. ^^
