Many people are concerned about the brown spots that appear on their cheekbones, under their cheeks, and around their eyes when looking in the mirror. These brown spots are most likely freckles. Freckles can make your skin look blotchy and dull, so it's recommended to take care of them promptly.

Today, I'll explain in detail everything from the reasons why I get freckles, to home care and prevention methods for freckles, and even helpful dermatological treatments!

1. Reasons why freckles appear

They say there are many reasons why freckles appear. Let me tell you what causes them!

 

1) UV exposure

Exposure to UV rays is said to be the cause of freckles. UV rays are one of the main factors that increase melanin pigmentation, and prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause freckles by increasing the production of more pigment.

 

2) Hormonal changes

Hormonal changes can also cause freckles. They say that hormonal changes caused by pregnancy, oral contraceptives, or hormone therapy can cause freckles.

 

3) Other factors

Age and genetics are said to be contributing factors to the development of freckles. As we age, the distribution of melanin in our skin becomes unbalanced, and genetic influences can worsen pigmentation, such as freckles.

2. Home care and prevention of freckles

Freckles can cause your skin tone to appear dull, so regular home care and prevention are crucial. Here, we'll share some tips for managing and preventing freckles!

 

1) Use sunscreen

Because UV exposure can cause dark spots, it's important to develop the habit of diligently applying sunscreen. Apply sunscreen not only to your face but also to other areas prone to UV exposure, such as your neck and arms. It's recommended to apply sunscreen 30 minutes before heading outside.

2) Minimize skin irritation

Minimizing skin irritation is crucial for managing freckles. If the skin barrier is weakened by irritation, hyperpigmentation can occur more easily. Therefore, it's recommended to gently wash your face and protect the skin barrier with ample moisturizing.

 

3) Use whitening ampoule

Using a whitening ampoule to manage and prevent dark spots at home can also be helpful. Meladuce Brightening Ampoule contains niacinamide, a whitening ingredient, to help manage dull skin tone.

3. Dermatological treatment for freckle management

Unlike simple blemishes, freckles often originate deep within the skin, making them difficult to manage with home remedies alone. In these cases, depending on your skin condition, you may want to consider the following dermatological treatments.

 

1) Pico toning

Pico toning is a laser that delivers powerful energy to the skin for a short period of time in picoseconds to break down pigments into small pieces, and is said to help alleviate freckles and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

The price for the Maypure Pico Toning event is 29,000 won per session, and the price for the first visit event is 9,000 won.
