There are various methods for removing melasma on both sides of the cheeks, mainly including:
1. Sun protection: Practice daily sun protection, avoid direct UV exposure, and reduce the risk of melasma darkening.
2. Medication: Topical application of tretinoin cream, hydroquinone cream, and oral administration of antioxidants such as vitamin C and vitamin E can help inhibit melanin production and promote fading of pigmentation.
3. Laser therapy: For more severe cases of melasma, laser treatments such as Q-switched laser or picosecond laser may be selected. These treatments precisely target and break down melanin particles through photothermal action, achieving removal effects. However, it is important to maintain proper sun protection and moisturization after laser treatment.
