In general, dark marks left by facial injuries can be removed through methods such as oral vitamin supplementation, applying aloe vera gel, picosecond laser treatment, microneedling therapy, and chemical peels using fruit acids. It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and undergo these procedures under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure effectiveness and safety. Specific details are as follows:
1. Oral Vitamins
Vitamins with antioxidant properties, such as vitamin C and vitamin E, can be taken orally to help inhibit melanin formation and promote skin recovery.
2. Applying Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe vera gel contains polysaccharides and various vitamins. When applied evenly to the dark mark, it helps moisturize and soothe the skin, promotes skin cell repair, reduces hyperpigmentation, and gradually fades the mark.
3. Picosecond Laser
Picosecond laser uses extremely short pulse durations to break up melanin and remove dark marks. The typical reference cost is 3,000–6,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement usually appears within 1–2 months, although side effects such as redness, swelling, or itching may occur.
4. Microneedling Therapy
Microneedling stimulates the skin using fine needles to promote collagen production and pigment metabolism, thereby improving dark marks. The typical reference cost is 800–2,000 yuan per session. Improvement is generally seen after 2–4 weeks, but possible adverse reactions include redness, swelling, or minor bleeding.
5. Chemical Peel (Fruit Acid Peel)
Fruit acid peels accelerate skin exfoliation and epidermal turnover, helping reduce pigmentation. The typical reference cost is 800–1,500 yuan per session. Improvement is usually visible within 1–2 weeks, though temporary side effects such as redness, dryness, or flaking may occur.
Proper skincare should be maintained in daily life, including appropriate sun protection, avoiding excessive friction on the affected area, and consuming foods rich in vitamins and collagen to support skin recovery.
