As summer passes and fall arrives, I feel like the freckles on my face are getting darker. Am I the only one who's bothered by them? I didn't have any before, but now I'm starting to get brown freckles on my cheeks and forehead, and it's really stressing me out.

According to medical information from Seoul National University Hospital, freckles are a pigmentation disease in which brown spots of irregular shape and various sizes appear on exposed areas, especially the face.

While lifestyle management is crucial for eliminating freckles, treatments like freckle lasers can also be helpful. So today, we'll cover everything from the causes of freckles to how to remove them, prevent them, and even laser treatments!

1. Causes of freckles

According to the Seoul Asan Medical Center's disease encyclopedia, there are three main factors that can cause or worsen melasma.

 

1) Hormones

First of all, hormones can be a cause of melasma. Melasma is more common in pregnant women, and birth control pills can also cause melasma.

 

2) UV rays

UV rays are also a factor that worsens freckles. Strong UV rays can stimulate melanin cell activity, causing problems like freckles.

 

3) Genetic factors

In addition to genetic predisposition, it is said that various factors such as hormonal changes and ultraviolet rays can interact in a complex manner to cause freckles.

2. How to remove/prevent freckles

They say that it is important to consistently manage your skin in daily life to prevent freckles.

 

1) Use sunscreen

First, to prevent and eliminate freckles, it's important to develop a habit of applying sunscreen regularly. It's crucial to apply sunscreen thoroughly 30 minutes before going outside, and reapply every two to three hours to protect your skin. UV rays are present year-round, so sunscreen is essential even in fall and winter.

2) Managing lifestyle habits

Managing your lifestyle habits can also help prevent blemishes. Getting enough sleep is crucial for skin regeneration, and drinking at least 1.5 liters of water a day is said to be beneficial for skin health.

 

3) Use whitening ampoule

Let me introduce you to a whitening ampoule that helped me with freckles and blemishes. The Meladuce Brightening Ampoule contains the same ingredients as hospital-produced treatments, and it helps with freckle and blemish care and tone-up!

3. Laser treatment for freckles

If it is difficult to improve freckles with home care, it may be helpful to receive a systematic diagnosis from a specialist and then receive appropriate freckle laser treatment.

 

1) Pico toning

For freckle laser treatments, consider picotoning. Pico toning uses picoseconds to break down pigment particles into tiny particles, helping to alleviate freckles and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Please note that the Maypure Pico Toning event price is 40,000 won! Also, if this is your first time getting Pico Toning, some branches offer a first-time experience discount of 9,000 won.
