Can freckles be completely eradicated?

People's skin is not always a solid color, but rather appears dotted with spots. However, most people's symptoms are relatively mild and cannot be observed with the naked eye. For people with poor skin conditions, the spots grow quickly and cover a wide area, which takes a toll on their health image. For example, freckles are a very common phenomenon. Let’s take a look at whether freckles can be completely eradicated.

1. Causes of freckles

1. Life stress

Bad living habits such as stress, picky eating, and lack of sleep can increase melanin. Therefore, people with unstable sleep schedules have poor skin metabolism, which will affect the production of melanin particles and make freckles more likely to occur.

2. Strong ultraviolet radiation

Ultraviolet radiation in sunlight is an important cause of freckles, which is why sun protection is needed in summer. When the skin is exposed to too much sunlight, the epidermis produces more melanin particles, which can absorb ultraviolet rays and protect the body from harm. This is why our skin becomes darker after sun exposure. Moreover, exposure to ultraviolet rays can cause chloasma, which darkens the color of common freckles.

3. Causes of skin aging

As we age, our metabolism gradually slows down, and lipofuscin tends to deposit on the skin surface, forming freckles. Freckles are more common in women over 30 years old.

2. Daily tips for removing spots

1. Carrot milk juice

Apply carrot juice and milk on your face every night and wash it off the next morning.

2. Applesauce

Peel the apple, cut it into pieces and mash it, then apply it on your face. If you have dry or allergic skin, add an appropriate amount of fresh milk or vegetable oil. If you have oily skin, add some egg white. After 15-20 minutes, wash it off with a hot towel. Use once every other day to eliminate facial freckles.

3. Can laser completely remove freckles?

Laser removal of freckles utilizes the principle of selective photothermal effect. Lasers of various wavelengths are released through laser instruments, which act on diseased skin of different colors in a targeted manner. The energy released by the lasers is gathered together and acts directly on the pigment particles, breaking them up and vaporizing them. The pigment particles are then excreted from the body through the human lymphatic tissue, thereby effectively removing freckles. Laser freckle removal can only remove existing spots on the face, but it does not rule out the possibility that the spots will grow again. Therefore, laser freckle removal is not complete.
