Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by dark, patchy pigmentation, most often appearing symmetrically on the face. These blotches range from light brown to deep brown and typically show up on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and nose. It affects between 1.5% and 33% of the general population and is especially common in pregnant women. Melasma is most frequent during a woman’s reproductive years, usually beginning between ages 20 and 40.
Symptoms:
Irregular, flat brown or gray patches
Mostly on sun-exposed areas of the face
Can get darker after sun exposure or hormonal changes
Causes:
Melasma occurs when skin cells produce too much melanin, often triggered by:
Sun exposure and UV damage
Hormonal changes (pregnancy, birth control, menopause)
Genetic predisposition
Certain medications or cosmetics that irritate the skin
If left untreated:
Melasma doesn’t just fade away for most people. Without treatment, the patches can deepen in color, spread, and become more stubborn. Over time, the uneven skin tone can also impact self-confidence, making makeup less effective in covering the discoloration. Early, targeted treatment gives the best chance of fading the patches and preventing recurrence.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL): Uses high-intensity light pulses to target pigment under the skin. The light energy breaks down melanin, gradually fading discoloration. Non-invasive, with minimal downtime.
Chemical Peels: Applies a solution to exfoliate the top skin layers, encouraging fresh, even-toned skin to surface. Helps remove damaged cells and reduce pigmentation over several sessions.
Dermal Infusion: Combines exfoliation, extraction, and infusion of targeted serums. Improves skin texture while delivering brightening ingredients deep into the skin for faster results.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Uses growth factors from your own blood to stimulate skin repair and regeneration. PRP improves skin health at the cellular level, helping reduce pigmentation and boost radiance.
Mesotherapy: Involves micro-injections of vitamins, enzymes, and brightening agents directly into the skin. Targets the melanin production process, reducing pigmentation and evening out skin tone.
Our approach often combines these methods based on skin type, severity, and individual response for the most effective outcome.
