How to Remove Spots

Hello, different types of pigmented spots require different treatment approaches: 1. **Ephelides (freckles)**: The most common type, strongly associated with genetics. Sun exposure can deepen their color and increase their number. Laser therapy is highly effective for freckles. We recommend that patients undergo laser treatment after puberty; noticeable improvement is typically seen after just 1–2 sessions. Strict sun protection is essential to minimize recurrence. 2. **Melasma**: Commonly occurs in middle-aged women. From a Western medical perspective, it is linked to sun exposure, hormonal changes, poor sleep, and oral contraceptive use. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) attributes melasma to imbalances such as liver qi stagnation, blood stasis, kidney deficiency, and spleen deficiency. TCM treatment focuses on syndrome differentiation and employs internal herbal therapy, combined with topical depigmenting agents, herbal facial masks, and transdermal drug delivery techniques. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
