Face discoloration may be freckles, age spots, coffee spots, chloasma, etc. Its fading methods need to be analyzed specifically, usually including medication, physical therapy and other methods to lighten the discoloration.
1. Freckles: face discoloration may be freckles, which can be lightened by applying vitamin E milk, retinoic acid cream, hydroquinone cream and so on, but cannot be eliminated completely. Cosmetic laser and other physical methods can also be used.
2. Age spots: patients with age spots can lighten the color spots by physical methods such as cryotherapy and laser treatment, or use medicines, such as hydrogen peroxide solution, etc., but the reaction of skin erythema and burning sensation may occur.
3. Coffee spot: patients with coffee spot can be treated by laser, which eliminates melanocytes and lightens pigmentation through selective photothermal effect, but adverse reactions such as hyperpigmentation and hyperplastic scar may occur.
4. Chloasma: patients with chloasma are mainly treated with hydroquinone cream, which can also be used in combination with tranexamic acid to enhance the effect of decoloration. Cosmetic laser can also be used to lighten the color spots.
The above medicines should be used under doctor’s guidance, and it is suggested that patients should consult doctor in time to confirm the type of pigmentation and then choose the method of lightening according to doctor’s instruction.
