I was looking in the mirror when I noticed brown spots around my cheekbones, and I started to worry about them. They were especially noticeable because they were located in the center of my face, making my skin look even duller.

Today, we'll explain in detail everything from the causes of freckles to home care and prevention methods, as well as treatments you can receive at a dermatologist!

1. Causes of clown freckles

1) UV exposure

One of the biggest causes of freckles is said to be UV rays. UV rays stimulate the melanin pigment in the skin, and when melanin is overproduced, freckles appear. They are particularly common on areas frequently exposed to sunlight, such as the cheeks and forehead.

2) Hormonal changes

Hormonal changes can also cause melasma. Pregnancy, childbirth, and birth control pills can all contribute to the development of melasma.

 

3) Genetic factors

In addition to this, according to the Seoul Asan Medical Center's disease encyclopedia, freckles are caused by a complex interaction of various factors, including genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, and ultraviolet rays.

2. Home care and prevention of freckles

Freckles around the cheekbones can cause a blotchy, dull complexion, making it crucial to maintain and prevent them at home. Here are some tips for managing freckles at home.

 

1) UV protection

UV protection is said to be crucial for managing and preventing freckles. Regardless of the weather or season, developing the habit of applying sunscreen thoroughly 30 minutes before going outside can help prevent freckles.

2) Use of whitening cosmetics

If you're concerned about dark spots, using a whitening cosmetic product can help. Meladuce Brightening Ampoule contains niacinamide, a whitening ingredient, to help brighten dull skin tones.

3) Managing lifestyle habits

Additionally, minimizing skin irritation is crucial. Gentle cleansing and moisturizing are recommended to maintain the skin barrier. Getting enough sleep and managing stress can also help prevent blemishes.

3. Dermatological treatment to improve freckles

If you're concerned about dark spots around your cheekbones, dermatological procedures may be helpful. If home care alone isn't enough to manage your dark spots, consider dermatological procedures.

 

1) Laser toning

Laser toning is a treatment that uses a long laser wavelength of 1064nm to selectively destroy only dark melanin pigments while minimizing epidermal damage. It is said to help improve freckles and pigmentation.

They say the price for one session of Maypure Laser Toning is 20,000 won.

4. Q&A

1) When freckles appear, do they disappear naturally?

Freckles are often difficult to completely disappear naturally. Therefore, they require management through home care or appropriate treatment.

 

2) What is the difference between freckles and spots?

: Freckles appear as dark spots on areas exposed to a lot of sunlight, such as the forehead or cheeks, while dark spots appear as small dots scattered on the cheeks.

Freckles around the cheekbones are located in the center of the face, making them more noticeable and potentially causing uneven skin tone. Therefore, prompt treatment is crucial. It's recommended to start with basic home care, such as UV protection and whitening treatments, and then consider dermatological treatment if necessary.

If you are concerned about freckles, I hope you start taking care of them consistently from now on rather than leaving them untreated!
