Many people are looking into dermatological blemish removal because of noticeable brown spots or stains whenever they look in the mirror. Although blemishes may appear similar on the surface, the appropriate treatment varies depending on the location and cause of the pigmentation as well as the skin condition. Therefore, it is important to check your skin condition before selecting the suitable procedure.

Today, I will summarize everything from the reasons why facial blemishes form to dermatological procedures for removing them and home care methods for managing them.

1. Reasons why facial blemishes form

1) UV exposure

Ultraviolet rays are one of the factors that promote melanin production, and it is said that areas frequently exposed to sunlight, such as the face, are continuously affected by UV rays, which can cause freckles, melasma, and pigmentation to darken.

 

2) Skin aging

It is said that as you age, the skin's regeneration cycle slows down, and combined with the effects of long-term accumulated UV rays, pigmented lesions may start to become noticeable on the face or the backs of the hands.

 

3) Hormonal and genetic influences

It is said that melasma can be affected by various factors, such as pregnancy, oral contraceptives, and genetic factors.

 

4) Skin irritation and inflammation

It is said that hyperpigmentation can remain after acne, dermatitis, or actions that repeatedly irritate the skin.

2. Dermatological blemish removal procedure

It is said that when removing blemishes at a dermatology clinic, it is important to determine the treatment method after checking the type and depth of pigmentation, as well as skin tone. The blemish removal procedures that can be considered are as follows.

 

1) Clarity blemishes

Clarity Blemish Treatment is said to be a procedure that helps manage small, distinct epidermal pigmented lesions, such as freckles, blemishes, and flat lentigines.

The price for the Maypure Clarity blemish event is said to be 130,000 won per session.

3. Home Care Methods for Blemishes

It is said that managing your daily lifestyle habits along with dermatological procedures can help prevent blemishes from darkening and help maintain a more even skin tone.

 

1) Apply sunscreen thoroughly

It is recommended to apply a sufficient amount of sunscreen before going out, and to reapply it at regular intervals if you are spending a long time outdoors. In particular, if you are concerned about blemishes, it is important to maintain a habit of consistently protecting yourself from UV rays regardless of the season.

2) Using whitening functional cosmetics

For home care of blemishes, you can try using cosmetics containing whitening functional ingredients. The Meladuse Brightening Ampoule is said to help manage skin tone by containing whitening functional ingredients such as niacinamide.

3) Avoid excessive irritation to the skin

If you scrub or peel too frequently just because dead skin cells or blemishes are noticeable, it can actually irritate your skin. Since inflammation or irritation can lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, it is recommended to avoid strong friction or excessive exfoliation.

 

4) Manage the skin barrier with sufficient moisturization

It is said that when skin becomes dry and sensitive, it can react more acutely to external stimuli, so it is important to protect the skin barrier by using plenty of moisturizer after washing your face.

4. Q&A

1) Can blemishes be completely removed with cosmetics alone?

While cosmetics can help manage skin tone or prevent pigmentation from deepening, they may have limitations in removing all existing pigmented lesions. Therefore, if noticeable pigmentation persists, it is advisable to check your skin condition and determine an appropriate treatment method.

 

2) The color looks darker after removing blemishes. Is that okay?

Depending on the type of laser, the pigmented area may temporarily darken or a thin scab may form after the procedure. If a scab forms, it is recommended to wait for it to fall off naturally rather than forcibly removing it.

Since the required laser and number of treatment sessions can vary depending on the type and depth of blemishes, it is said to be important to find a treatment method suited to your current skin condition rather than blindly choosing a strong laser.
