Facial pigmentation (melasma) can make your face look blotchy, messy and unclean, no matter how hard you scrub and exfoliate. Pigmentation is not considered cute like freckles; it can actually be a source of distress and I'm sure those who've experienced it have also lengthily researched on ways to get rid of it. So what causes this discoloration? Though the fundamental causes are still not 100% clear (pregnancy, birth control, genetics, sun exposure are a few), we can still explain what happens once it's triggered.
To start off with, melanin cells are the source of skin pigmentation. Existing in the lowest parts of our skin, these cells take on the role of distributing color across our skin. It protects skin cells from UV light, but when we're exposed to excessive sunlight, melanin grows rapidly both in size and in proportionate quantities.
As a result, the pigments can be unevenly distributed across the skin, causing darkened spots and freckles. In cases of skin inflammation, the dermis (thicker skin layer) is wounded, after which the melanin cells are damaged and settles deeper within the skin. With further exposure to UV rays, even more pigments are built up in the dermis. This is called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
The latest treatment method for pigmentation is called laser toning.
Laser toning can selectively destroy melanin cells without further damaging surrounding skin cells. With the latest equipment, doctors can now get better results while patients experience no pain or side effects. Now we can treat pigmentation and diseases that were previously difficult to cure, such as freckles or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
FAQ: Can I see results with one treatment session?
Short answer: Not really.
Long answer: Patients normally require weekly treatment sessions of at least 5-10 in total for complete removal. Unless you are a frequent visitor, I would not recommend you get this treatment in Korea if you do not reside here.
Post-Procedural Guidelines:
1. Avoid sauna, massages, irritating makeup, excessive exposure to sunlight, and alcohol after treatment.
2. Patients may experience redness immediately after, which normally subsides within a few days.
3. Patients with a history or acne may experience itchiness or skin trouble, due to acne hidden under the skin surfacing after treatment. If such symptoms occur, revisit your clinic.
4. Apply rejuvenation cream and sunscreen regularly.
