Have you ever had the feeling that your skin has recently developed a few spots, or that your foundation is no longer concealing them? Especially in Bangkok, where ultraviolet rays are strong and the humidity is high, the skin is subjected to a great deal of stress in daily life without realizing it. In fact, many of the patients who come to our clinic say that their skin spots have become bothersome since coming to Thailand, or that their skin problems have increased, so skin problems caused by changes in climate and living environment are a very familiar problem.

In this article, we will take an in-depth look at how living in Bangkok can lead to blemishes, and introduce recommended treatments available at Bibi Clinic for Japanese women living in Thailand who are struggling with blemish removal treatments.

Everyday life is a “blemish risk”? What are the skin risks specific to Bangkok?

Since I came to Bangkok, I feel that my spots have suddenly increased. This is one of the most frequently asked questions at Bibi Clinic. The cause of blemishes is not only due to ultraviolet rays. In fact, the following “Bangkok's common practices” are also unintentionally causing skin problems.

Dryness and poor circulation due to air conditioning

In Bangkok, buildings are always air-conditioned, and skin tends to dry out even in hotels, condominiums, and offices. Prolonged exposure to air-conditioned rooms tends to deprive the skin surface of moisture, causing the skin to lose its barrier function due to dryness.
Furthermore, when blood circulation is poor due to cold, turnover (skin renewal) is easily disrupted, and melanin is not discharged smoothly, leaving spots on the skin.

Temporary inflammatory reaction due to a diet high in spices

While the chili peppers and spices that are an integral part of Thai cuisine boost the body's metabolism, they can also cause a mild inflammatory reaction in some people, causing redness and itching on the skin. Continued irritation of this kind can lead to chronic redness and hyperpigmentation in those with sensitive skin, which can ultimately lead to blemishes.

Decrease in skin barrier function due to rapid temperature changes

Hot and humid outside and cool and cold inside with air conditioning - the skin is exposed to such extreme temperature differences, which can easily disrupt the barrier function. When the barrier function is weakened, the skin reacts hypersensitively to external stimuli, causing dryness, inflammation, and an increase in melanin production, which can cause blemishes.
In particular, people tend to be more susceptible to these strains during periods when the temperature changes between morning and evening, or when they move around indoors and outdoors more frequently.

The accumulation of such “casual daily habits” and “environmental differences” can cause skin problems such as blemishes and dullness to become apparent. In order to enjoy your life in Bangkok, it is important to correctly understand the burden on the skin and to be aware of early care and countermeasures.

Home care has its limitations. That's why you want to choose "the power of medical care

We hear many people say, "I apply whitening serum every day, but the spots don't fade..." In fact, cosmetic care alone may not be sufficient for spots that have already taken hold. This is why spot removal treatment using medical devices has been attracting attention.

Select the best treatment for each type of blemish

There are multiple types of blemishes, each with a different cause and appearance. Continuing to care for them based on one's own judgment may worsen them, so it is very important to first “accurately identify” them.
At Bibi Clinic, we carefully assess the type of blemish and skin texture during the consultation and propose the best treatment plan based on the results. Here we will introduce in detail the three typical types and the treatment methods suitable for each.

Blemish type	Main Symptoms and Characteristics	Suitable treatment
Photopigmentation Freckles	Sun spots: dark brown spots with well-defined outlines caused by UV damage. Most commonly seen on the cheeks and temples.   Freckles: Numerous small, symmetrical spots centered on the nose and extending symmetrically from under the eyes to the cheeks. They may become darker due to sun exposure.	PicoSpot: High-power pico laser is focused on a single spot, making it easy to see results even after just one session.
Chloasma	A dim, light brown spot that spreads symmetrically around the cheekbones, it is most common among women in their 30s and 40s, and is sensitive to irritation.	Picotoning: Gentle laser irradiation over the entire skin at low power. This treatment is designed to slowly fade melasma without aggravating it. It is also a good idea to take care of the skin from the inside with oral medication.
post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation	Pigment that remains after inflammation of acne or rashes. It changes from red to brown and tends to remain for a long time.	PicoFractional: Approaches the deeper layers of the skin, improving not only pigmentation but also pores and unevenness. Skin texture improvement can also be expected.

In some cases, depending on the type of the spots, combining multiple treatments may provide faster and more efficient results. For example, if a patient has a combination of melasma and solar pigmentation, it is possible to flexibly combine picotoning and picospot at the same time. Since the condition of the skin is affected by physical condition, hormonal balance, and seasonal changes, Vivi Clinic provides careful progress checks and home care advice not only before but also after the treatment.

In addition to treatments that directly approach spots and freckles, we also offer treatments that support the creation of a foundation that prevents the formation of spots by taking care of the body from the inside out.
