Melasma

Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by dark, discolored patches that usually appear on the face, particularly on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. It is often triggered by hormonal changes, sun exposure, and genetic factors, making it more prevalent in women, especially during pregnancy or while taking hormonal medications. Although melasma is harmless, it can be persistent and challenging to treat without professional care. At our clinic, we offer advanced treatments to lighten pigmentation, restore skin balance, and promote a more even skin tone.

Causes of Melasma

  • Hormonal Changes - Pregnancy, birth control pills, and hormone therapy can trigger melasma
  • Sun Exposure - UV rays stimulate melanin production, worsening melasma
  • Genetic Factors - A family history of melasma increases the likelihood of developing it
  • Skin Irritation - Harsh skincare products or excessive exfoliation can trigger pigmentation

FAQs

1. Is melasma permanent?

Melasma can fade over time, especially with treatment and sun protection, but it may return if triggers persist.

2. Can melasma be treated naturally?

While some home remedies may help lighten pigmentation slightly, professional treatments are often more effective in achieving noticeable results.

3. Which treatments work best for melasma?

Laser therapy, chemical peels, and topical treatments like hydroquinone or retinoids are commonly used for melasma reduction.

4. How can I prevent melasma from worsening?

Daily sunscreen use, avoiding direct sun exposure, and using gentle skincare products can help manage melasma and prevent further pigmentation.
