Melasma Treatment
What is Melasma?
Melasma is a chronic skin condition characterized by the development of dark, irregular patches on the face, often triggered by hormonal changes, sun exposure, and genetic predisposition. It predominantly affects women, particularly those with darker skin tones, and is commonly associated with pregnancy (known as “the mask of pregnancy”), hormonal contraceptives, and hormone replacement therapy.
Melasma Treatment Options
We offer a range of melasma treatment options to effectively address hyperpigmentation and achieve clearer, more even-toned skin. These treatment options include:
- Topical Treatments:Prescription-strength topical medications containing ingredients such as hydroquinone, tretinoin, corticosteroids, and kojic acid may be recommended to lighten melasma patches and suppress melanin production. These topical treatments are typically applied daily over several weeks to months to achieve optimal results.
- Chemical Peels: Chemical peels involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which causes exfoliation and peeling of the top layers of skin. This process helps to lighten melasma patches and promote the growth of new, healthier skin cells. Chemical peels may vary in strength and can be tailored to the individual’s skin type and melasma severity.
- Laser Therapy: Laser treatments, such as fractional laser therapy or intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, can target and break down excess melanin in the skin, reducing the appearance of melasma patches. Laser therapy stimulates collagen production and promotes skin renewal, leading to clearer, more even-toned skin over time.
- Microdermabrasion: Microdermabrasion involves the mechanical exfoliation of the skin using a handheld device with a diamond or crystal tip. This treatment removes the outermost layer of skin, helping to lighten melasma patches and improve overall skin texture. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal results.
- Cosmetic Camouflage: Cosmetic camouflage products, such as makeup or tinted sunscreens, can help conceal melasma patches and even out skin tone while providing sun protection. These products can be used in conjunction with other melasma treatments to enhance results.
Benefits of Melasma Treatment

- Personalized Approach: We offer personalized melasma treatment plans tailored to each individual’s skin type, melasma severity, and treatment goals.
- Long-Term Results: With proper maintenance and sun protection, melasma treatments can provide long-term improvement in skin tone and texture.
The Melasma Treatment Process
During your initial consultation, our experienced healthcare provider will evaluate your skin, discuss your melasma concerns and goals, and recommend the most suitable treatment plan for your needs. The treatment process will vary depending on the chosen treatment option but typically involves a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results.
Post-Treatment Care
After melasma treatment, it’s important to follow specific post-treatment instructions provided by your healthcare provider to promote proper healing and optimize results. This may include using sunscreen daily, avoiding sun exposure, and adhering to a customized skincare regimen. Results may be visible gradually over several weeks to months, depending on the chosen treatment option and individual response.
