Melasma and Pigment Spots
Melasma presents as symmetric brown patches on sun exposed areas of the face. Hormonal factors and ultraviolet light drive melanin production, shaping appearance. Diagnosis is typically clinical, supported by dermoscopy to assess pigment pattern.
In Korea, clinics emphasize regimens combining topicals, light therapies, and sun protection. Clinical cases show tranexamic acid and vitamin C often work together. Patients respond best when pigment and texture improve together.
Causes and Skin Texture
UV light, hormones, and inflammation trigger melasma and tone disruption. This combination often creates rough patches and uneven skin tone. Proper care includes gentle exfoliation, hydration, and barrier repair.
Lifestyle factors like sun exposure, heat, stress, and sleep influence stability. Progress rests on sunscreen, protective clothing, and consistent reapplication outdoors. Irritation from harsh products can worsen spots, so sensitive formulas are preferred.
Advanced Skin Treatments
Korean clinics increasingly use picosecond lasers and nanosecond devices. These sessions target melanin with minimal downtime and gradual reduction. Topical agents such as tranexamic acid, azelaic acid, and vitamin C help.
Sun protection remains essential to prevent relapse and maintain results. Korean clinicians tailor plans based on skin type and lifestyle. Combination therapies reduce recurrence risk and improve texture and glow.
Neck Health and Skin Link
Even though melasma typically favors sun exposed facial areas neck skin requires attention. Posture and neck comfort influence routines, stress, sleep quality, and regimen effectiveness. These factors can affect skincare adherence and recovery, impacting pigment management over time.
Neck health supports comfort, sleep, and daily activity, aiding skincare routines. Neck disc exercise supports neck stability and posture, easing muscle tension. If you have cervical spine concerns, consult a clinician before starting new exercises.
