Types of Blemish Removal Treatments
First, let's look at the different types of blemish removal treatments.
■Laser Therapy
Laser treatment is recommended for spots and freckles that have appeared as we age. There are several types of equipment used, including the "pico laser," "Q-switched ruby laser," and "Q-switched YAG laser," which differ in terms of power output and the modes in which they are equipped. Depending on the type of blemish and skin condition, you can choose either whole face or localized irradiation.
■Light Therapy
Phototherapy is a treatment for skin problems such as blemishes and acne, in which light of the appropriate wavelength is irradiated over the entire face to improve the symptoms. The irradiated heat also works to produce collagen, which can be expected to improve skin firmness and texture. This leads to an improvement in the transparency and texture of the skin as a whole, not just the blemishes. Compared to laser treatment, the irradiation output is weaker, soSlow approach and short down time.It is.
■Peeling
Peeling is a method of applying a chemical to the surface of the skin to soften and remove dead skin cells. In addition to keratin, it also removes dirt from pores, resulting in smoother skin. It is also expected to improve blemishes, wrinkles, acne, and dullness.

Treatment with oral medication involves taking ingredients that are known to be effective against spots, aiming for improvement from the inside of the body. Tranexamic acid, which suppresses inflammation and melanin pigment production, and vitamin C, which has an antioxidant effect, are mainly taken. Vitamin E, which promotes blood circulation, is also said to be effective. Although oral medication alone is effective, it may be used in combination with other treatments to prevent the formation of new spots and freckles.
■Topicals and skin care
Topical medications are also used to treat blemishes. Hydroquinone, which stops melanin production, and retinol, which exfoliates dead skin cells and promotes skin regeneration, are typical ingredients. Some items can be purchased at drugstores, but drugs prescribed based on a doctor's diagnosis tend to contain higher amounts of active ingredients and are more effective. A dermatologist or clinic will be easier to consult in the event of the appearance of side effects and provide peace of mind.
■ IV Therapy
Another option for blemish removal treatment is intravenous infusion therapy. The advantage of intravenous infusion therapy is that it delivers active ingredients directly into the body, so immediate results can be expected. In particular, vitamin C, which is easily oxidized, can be injected through blood vessels.High antioxidant activityand can improve blemish care and skin damage after sun exposure. Other IV therapies include those that relieve stress, improve fatigue, and boost the immune system.
