Melasma

Melasma is a dark pigmentation of the skin, which is frequently linked to hormones and solar exposure. Learn how we can help bring back your natural glow.

Melasma is often manageable

Melasma typically causes skin discoloration in the form of brown or blue-gray patches on the cheeks, upper lip, forehead, and forearms – and although it’s harmless, it can be upsetting to see such changes in your appearance. The good news is that you’re not alone and there are safe, effective treatments available.

Melasma is a result of the overproduction of cells that create skin pigment, and there are many possible underlying causes.

Besides pregnancy, the condition can also be traced back to genetics, sun exposure, and certain medications. The condition can affect any part of the body that is exposed to the sun but is most common on the face.  

Other causes include exposure to LED lights from electronic devices, and contact with certain types of makeup and skincare products, particularly for individuals with sensitive skin.

Melasma is usually classified as a chronic disorder and may be life long.

Left untreated, the pigments may fade after a few months, but if you find the pigmentation bothersome, lifestyle changes and non-invasive treatments can significantly improve appearance of melasma.

For example, focus on eating more oily fish, red meat, fats, and grains to enrich your diet with Vitamin D and protecting your skin for sun exposure.

In order to determine the appropriate treatment for melasma, you’ll need to know the cause and contributing lifestyle factors. For example, if you develop melasma during pregnancy, you’ll need to clear any treatments with your doctor after delivery and once you are no longer breastfeeding. 

Melasma treatment options

Treatment options for melasma will depend on your circumstances. While the treatment process might be more complex during pregnancy. We offer several safe and effective options for this difficult condition.
