Coffee spot treatment

Everyone has a unique mark. In my mother's words, once you have a mark, you will never lose it and you can recognize it just by looking at it. However, it is very troublesome when these marks grow on the face. Not only do they affect the overall appearance of the face, but you will also always receive strange looks when walking on the street. So how to treat coffee spots on the face? Let’s learn about it below.

According to skin experts, café au lait spots are a hereditary skin disease and are often a sign of systemic disease. Café au lait spots are mostly light brown, tan and dark brown in color, of varying sizes and shapes, including round, oval and irregular shapes, with a relatively smooth surface. They appear at birth and in childhood.

From the perspective of appearance and aesthetics, treatment is necessary. Café au lait spots appear light gray, which have a great impact on the beauty of our facial skin and may even cause inferiority complex and depression. If you want to effectively cure coffee spots, you can choose laser treatment, which is currently recognized as the most effective treatment method.

The pulsed laser used to treat coffee spots is controlled by a computer. The laser it emits can accurately penetrate the skin and reach the affected area. The pigment particles in the affected area are broken and destroyed under the irradiation of the powerful laser, and then these broken pigments are phagocytosed and eliminated by the phagocytes in the body. Since it is a slow process for the body to phagocytize and remove broken pigments, laser treatment of coffee spots usually takes 3 months, because laser spot removal requires a certain course of treatment and cannot be completed in one go.

When laser treatment is used for coffee spots, you will feel slight pain on your skin, which is generally tolerable. Laser treatment of café au lait spots may cause an erythema reaction, which means that the skin in the treated area will become slightly red and swollen, but this reaction will pass quickly. Some patients may develop some small blisters, which usually disappear without a trace after a week.

When using laser to treat coffee spots, the treatment can be completed in tens of minutes without local anesthesia. The operation is very convenient, and there is about a one-month interval between each treatment. During treatment, patients and operators need to protect their eyes. After surgery, the wound should be applied with antibiotic ointment, and the inflammation will subside in 4 to 6 days. Generally, the skin can return to normal within 7 to 10 days and will not affect people's normal life.

Coffee spots not only affect the patient's facial appearance, but also bring psychological shadows to the patient. Therefore, if coffee spots appear, you should choose a regular hospital for treatment. Some people have a lot of brown coffee spots on their bodies, and many people think they are "birthmarks". In fact, this is a characteristic of skin lesions, which may be neurofibroma. You should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.
