How to remove dark spots on both cheeks
In general, the causes of pigmentation on both sides of the cheeks may include ultraviolet radiation, skin aging, genetic factors, use of low-quality cosmetics, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. In daily life, pigmentation can be improved through dietary adjustments, moderate exercise, and medical treatments. For more noticeable results in removing pigmentation, treatments such as chemical peels, cryotherapy, microneedling, photorejuvenation (IPL), and fractional laser therapy can be considered.
Diet-wise, it is recommended to consume more fresh fruits and vegetables such as cabbage, apples, and spinach, which are rich in vitamins and antioxidants that help promote cellular metabolism and alleviate symptoms. Drinking plenty of water helps detoxify the body and fade dark spots. Engaging in regular physical activities like running, playing badminton, or swimming can enhance the body's metabolic rate, aiding in the removal of pigmentation. Topical medications such as hydroquinone cream or tretinoin cream may be applied as directed by a physician to disrupt melanin-producing cells and reduce pigment formation. Additionally, oral supplements like vitamin C tablets or vitamin E softgels may be taken under medical guidance to inhibit melanin production and promote fading of pigmentation.
