Melasma treatment

Melasma is a common pigmentation disorder that causes brown or gray patches to appear on the skin, primarily on the face. The most common areas affected include the bridge of the nose, forehead, cheeks, and upper lip.

The causes of Melasma are not fully understood. Some causes are linked to hormonal changes during pregnancy, hormone treatment or birth control pills, sun exposure, and genetic factors leading to malfunction of the melanocytes (cells responsible for producing pigment). People with darker skin tones are more prone to developing Melasma.

treatments for melasma include:

Chemical Peels, prescription medications and skincare products to help inhibit melanocyte activity, reduce pigment production or promote cell turnover, LaseMD Ultra skin resurfacing, Microdermabasion, and sunscreen. For tough cases, platelet rich plasma and HEALITE can be beneficial. Schedule a consultation to discuss the best treatment options for you.
