Fruit acid treatment for melasma

Chloasma is a skin problem that particularly affects women. Many women are often troubled by chloasma, with spots on their faces and uneven pigmentation. They are particularly unconfident every time they go out, and can only apply thick powder to cover it up. However, long-term use of cosmetics will deepen the formation of chloasma. Many people have heard that fruit acid can remove chloasma, but patients who have not been treated are a little skeptical. Can fruit acid really treat chloasma?

Fruit acid can treat melasma. Fruit acid is an organic acid extracted from various fruits, sugarcane, and yogurt. It has a simple structure, small molecular weight, is non-toxic and odorless, is water-soluble, has strong permeability, can be absorbed by the skin through the stratum corneum, is safe, and does not damage the epidermal barrier function. Fruit acid can directly inhibit the production of melanin, and at the same time it can also promote skin metabolism, promote the activation and renewal of epithelial cells, and accelerate the metabolism and excretion of melanin. In clinical practice, when we encounter patients with more stubborn melasma who have not responded to other methods, the effects of using fruit acid treatment are very significant.

Laser is recommended for removing pigmentation spots. The treatment time is relatively short, no more than ten minutes at most. After each treatment, the skin needs to be given a metabolic process. Therefore, one laser pigmentation treatment can achieve the desired effect. The principle of laser pigmentation removal is that different types of lasers produce light of different colors, and laser light of a certain wavelength is only absorbed by pigments of the corresponding color. Therefore, plastic surgery institutions use lasers to generate high-intensity light beams to fade the pigmentation in order to achieve the purpose of removing pigmentation spots. Moreover, only diseased cells absorb specific lasers, while normal skin tissue will not be damaged, so laser removal of pigmentation will not leave scars. Anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for treatment. You should pay attention to rest, not smoke, not drink, and not eat irritating food.

Melasma, also known as liver spots, is yellow-brown pigmentation on the face. Multi-symmetric butterfly distribution in the cheeks. It is more common in women, and high estrogen levels in the blood are the main cause. Its onset is related to pregnancy, long-term oral contraceptives, and menstrual disorders.

Causes

The cause is still unclear. It is more common in women, and high estrogen levels in the blood are the main cause. Its onset is related to pregnancy, long-term oral contraceptives, and menstrual disorders. It is also seen in patients with some female reproductive system diseases, tuberculosis, cancer, chronic ethanol poisoning, liver disease, etc. Sunlight can precipitate the disease. Male patients account for about 10%, and some studies believe that the incidence of the disease in men is related to genetics.

Clinical manifestations

The lesions are yellow-brown or dark brown patches, which are often symmetrically distributed on the cheeks and cheeks, and may also affect the periorbital area, forehead, upper lip and nose, with obvious edges. No subjective symptoms or systemic discomfort. The depth of pigmentation is related to season, sun exposure, and endocrine factors. Mental stress, staying up late and fatigue can aggravate skin lesions.
