Melasma is really a headache word! Every morning when you look at yourself in the mirror, your cheeks come with “two-dimensional code”.
Chloasma, also known as stretch marks and liver spots, can be induced by changes in estrogen during pregnancy and the stimulation of progesterone. It is not only easy to grow chloasma during pregnancy, but also endocrine disorder caused by irregular life, certain chronic diseases, trace elements, insomnia and genetic factors may lead to the formation and aggravation of chloasma.
Chloasma is a light brown color spot with indistinct boundaries and variable shape on the skin of the face centered on the cheekbone. Pregnancy and sunlight will worsen the lesion, which is a common phenomenon of facial pigmentation, and its symptoms will change with time. It is difficult for melasma to disappear on its own without cooperation with treatment.
Thirdly, it is true that because melasma has active pigment and more influencing factors, its treatment needs more time and patience compared with other pigmentation. However, there is no doubt that melasma can be treated, and I hope friends must have confidence in the treatment.
In addition to oral medication, maintaining a normal and healthy diet and keeping a relaxed mood, laser treatment should also be used to remove melasma. Since melasma is pathophysiologically and physiologically manifested as abnormal active melanocytes, laser or intense pulsed light should minimize the stimulation of melanocytes in the treatment of melasma to avoid the aggravation of melasma. Therefore, in the energy selection, only the melanin particles within or between melanocytes are selectively photoblasted, and the function of melanocytes is inactivated or inhibited by low energy and multiple photoblasts, while the multiple photoblasts of melanin particles can make the melanin particles more miniaturized and more conducive to be discharged by phagocytosis. It can not only improve the epidermal pigment, but also correct the skin vascular abnormality and inflammation, which is again beneficial to melasma treatment.
