There are moments when you look in the mirror and your cheeks look particularly dull. I also noticed that the skin around my cheeks looked duller due to pigmentation.

Today, I will summarize everything from the reasons for cheek pigmentation and home care methods to dermatological procedures that can help.

 

 

1. Causes of cheek pigmentation

It is said that the cheeks are an area of ​​the face where pigmentation can easily occur. The reasons are reportedly as follows.

 

1) UV exposure

It is said that the cheeks are highly susceptible to the effects of ultraviolet rays because they are the most protruding part of the face. UV rays can stimulate melanin production, potentially causing pigmentation. Consequently, melasma and blemishes can appear rapidly, especially during the spring and summer.

 

2) Acne and skin trouble marks

It is said that inflammatory acne on the cheeks can leave red marks after it subsides, which can then lead to brown pigmentation. In particular, squeezing the pimples or touching them with your hands can worsen the pigmentation.

 

3) Weakening of skin barrier

It is said that if the skin barrier is weakened, it reacts more easily to external stimuli, making pigmentation more likely to occur and last longer.

 

4) Hormonal changes

It is said that hormonal changes can also cause pigmentation on the cheeks. It is reported that hyperpigmentation, such as melasma, can occur due to pregnancy or the use of oral contraceptives.

2. Home Care Methods for Cheek Pigmentation

If you are concerned about pigmentation on your cheeks, managing and preventing it through home care can be helpful. Let me share a few ways you can manage pigmentation at home!

 

1) Use sunscreen

Since ultraviolet rays are one of the main causes of pigmentation, it is said to be important to apply sunscreen thoroughly before going out. In particular, it is recommended to apply sunscreen during the spring and summer when UV rays are strong.

3) Minimize skin irritation

It is said that simply reducing irritation can help prevent hyperpigmentation. It is important to avoid excessive exfoliation and harsh cleansing.

3. Dermatological procedures for managing cheek pigmentation

If it is difficult to improve cheek pigmentation with home care alone, combining it with dermatological treatment can be an option. Here are a few dermatological procedures that can help manage pigmentation.

 

1) Pico Toning

PicoToning is a method that uses very short, picosecond laser pulses to break down pigments into micro-particles. It is said to be a procedure that helps alleviate conditions such as melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

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

4. Q&A

1) Can pigmentation disappear naturally?
Shallow pigmentation can fade, but melasma or deep pigmentation tends to be difficult to remove naturally.

 

2) How should I care for my skin after pigment laser treatment?

Sun protection is essential after treatment. Since the skin is sensitive after pigmentation treatment, it is recommended to apply sunscreen consistently. Additionally, adequate moisturization helps aid in skin regeneration.
