How to Remove Melasma

The removal of melasma is a comprehensive treatment process, and the following are some of the main methods:

1. Sun protection: Ultraviolet radiation is one of the primary causes of melasma formation and worsening. Therefore, using sunscreen with a high SPF value and taking other sun protection measures, such as wearing hats and sunglasses, and avoiding outdoor activities during peak sunlight hours, are key steps in the prevention and treatment of melasma.

2. Medication: In some cases, doctors may recommend specific medications, such as tranexamic acid or oral antioxidants, to assist in the treatment of melasma. These medications can regulate bodily functions internally and reduce pigmentation.

3. Laser therapy: Laser treatment is an effective method for removing melasma, but the appropriate type and parameters of laser should be selected according to the patient's skin type and pigmentation condition. However, laser therapy is not a permanent solution and may require multiple sessions to achieve optimal results.

4. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) regulation: According to TCM, melasma is associated with dysfunction of internal organs such as the liver, spleen, and kidney. Therefore, regulation can be achieved through internal and external use of Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, cupping, and other methods.

5. Lifestyle adjustments: Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits is also an important aspect of preventing melasma. Adequate sleep, a balanced diet, moderate exercise, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can all help improve skin condition and reduce the risk of pigmentation.

All treatment plans should be conducted under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure safety and effectiveness.
