If these methods are ineffective, aesthetic medical procedures such as hyaluronic acid injections, red and blue light therapy, microneedling, photorejuvenation (IPL), and fractional laser treatment may also be considered.

In general, methods for repairing thin facial stratum corneum can be comprehensively considered from aspects such as daily skincare, dietary adjustments, lifestyle modifications, and medical treatments. If these measures are ineffective, aesthetic medical procedures such as hyaluronic acid injections, red and blue light therapy, microneedling, photorejuvenation (IPL), and fractional laser may also be used.

For daily care, use mild, non-irritating cleansers and skincare products containing natural moisturizing factors such as hyaluronic acid and collagen, while avoiding over-cleansing the skin. In terms of diet, consume more protein-rich foods such as eggs, milk, and lean meat, as well as vitamin-rich foods like lemons, kiwis, and carrots, and avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption. For lifestyle habits, apply sunscreen and wear sun-protective hats, maintain regular sleep patterns, and engage in moderate exercise. Oral supplements such as vitamin E softgels and vitamin C tablets may be taken under medical guidance.
