What herbs can remove melanin spots?

Generally, Honeysuckle, Perilla leaf, Arnebia root, Purslane, and Dandelion may have certain effects in removing pigmentation spots and reducing melanin. Detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Honeysuckle

2. Perilla Leaf

3. Arnebia Root

Arnebia root has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, and can be used to treat facial inflammation and pigmentation spots. Mashing the root and applying it to affected areas can help remove spots.

4. Purslane

Rich in vitamin C and carotenoids, it has strong antioxidant properties and can help whiten skin and remove spots. Purslane can be mashed and applied to the face to lighten pigmentation.

5. Dandelion

Dandelion contains abundant trace elements and vitamins that can repair skin, promote blood circulation, enhance skin immunity, and control melanin production, thus achieving skin whitening and spot removal effects.

When using these herbs for spot removal, a small patch test on the skin is recommended to ensure no allergic reaction or discomfort occurs. If faster and more effective spot removal is desired, laser spot removal under a doctor's guidance can be considered. This treatment uses laser light of specific wavelengths; the energy is precisely absorbed by melanin particles, causing the melanin to break down instantly, then be expelled from the body through the metabolic system, while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues, achieving the goal of removing spots. The usual reference price for laser spot removal is 500-3,000 yuan per session, and improvement is usually visible within 3-6 months after the procedure, although possible side effects such as pigmentation and swelling may occur.
