Once women pass 25, metabolism slows and physiological functions begin to decline. Even with indoor living and daily skincare, dark spots can suddenly appear. These spots initially appear individually, but without proper care and treatment, they can merge into larger patches!
Types of dark spots that may appear on mature skin
1. Freckles.Primarily genetic, freckles intensify in spring and summer while fading in fall and winter. UV exposure exacerbates their appearance.
2. Melasma. Predominantly affecting women, melasma is an acquired localized pigmentation disorder. Also known as chloasma, pregnancy mask, or butterfly spots, these terms describe the same condition named for its shape, age-related characteristics, or location.
3. Melasma. Melasma commonly appears after age 25 and is acquired. Its causes are diverse, manifesting as pinpoint, rice-grain sized, granular, reticular, or patchy dark spots that are darker than chloasma.During pregnancy, elevated levels of progesterone and estrogen trigger endocrine changes that cause pigmentation. Additionally, the pituitary gland, adrenal glands, gonads, and thyroid significantly influence melanin production.
Laser Pigmentation Removal
Laser treatment employs targeted beams to address melanocyte clusters deep within the skin. Its highly concentrated energy, selective pigment targeting, and ultra-short pulse width focus laser energy directly onto pigment granules, vaporizing and shattering them. These fragments are then eliminated via the lymphatic system without affecting surrounding healthy tissue, offering a fundamental solution to skin discoloration.
