There are various methods for removing melasma in younger individuals, mainly including:
1. Medication: Under the guidance of a physician, oral administration of medications such as vitamin C and vitamin E can inhibit melanin production and reduce skin oxidation. Topical treatments such as arbutin cream or hydroquinone cream can also be used to lighten melasma.
2. Laser therapy: Treatments such as photorejuvenation and Q-switched laser can break down melanin with laser energy and promote skin metabolism, effectively removing melasma.
3. Chemical peeling: High-concentration fruit acid promotes the shedding of aged keratin layers and accelerates epidermal cell renewal to eliminate melasma.
4. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) regulation: Acupuncture and herbal remedies may improve skin quality from within by regulating meridians and improving endocrine function.
5. Lifestyle adjustments: Ensure sufficient sleep duration and good sleep quality, avoiding late nights; practice sun protection to avoid direct UV exposure; maintain a balanced diet, consuming more foods rich in vitamins C and E, such as fresh fruits and vegetables.
