Melasma Treatment

Melasma Treatment

Gentle approaches to manage dark patches and restore a more even skin tone.

Why Consider Treatment for Melasma?

Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown or greyish patches, usually on the cheeks, forehead, nose, or upper lip. It’s more common in women and often triggered by sun exposure, hormones, or pregnancy.
While melasma is harmless, it can feel bothersome and affect confidence. Treatments focus on lightening the patches and preventing them from worsening, helping your skin look clearer and more balanced.

How Does Melasma Treatment Work?

There’s no single cure for melasma, but several options can help reduce pigmentation and control flare-ups:
  • Topical creams: Contain ingredients that lighten dark spots and regulate pigment production.
  • Chemical peels: Gently exfoliate the skin to improve tone and texture.
  • Laser or light-based therapies: Target deeper pigmentation with controlled energy.
  • Sun protection: Daily use of sunscreen is essential to prevent patches from darkening.
Your doctor will recommend the safest approach depending on your skin type, severity of pigmentation, and triggers.

What Happens During Treatment?

  • Before: A skin assessment helps identify the type of melasma and rule out other causes of pigmentation.
  • During: Depending on the treatment, you may apply prescribed creams at home, or attend clinic sessions for peels or laser therapy.
  • After: Some redness, peeling, or mild sensitivity may occur, especially with peels or laser sessions. Sun protection and gentle skincare are vital for long-term success.

What Kind of Results Can You Expect?

  • Gradual lightening of dark patches
  • More even skin tone over time
  • Best results often achieved with a combination of treatments and ongoing maintenance
  • Melasma may recur with sun exposure or hormonal changes, so continued care is important

Any Side Effects to Know About?

Treatments are generally safe under medical supervision, but possible short-term effects include:
  • Redness, dryness, or peeling from creams or peels
  • Temporary sensitivity or darkening before improvement
  • Rare risks like irritation or pigmentation changes, especially without proper aftercare
