Our melasma specialists 

Our clinicians and specialists are experts in their field and possess the necessary knowledge and training for the successful treatment of melasma on the face.

What is melasma?

What is melasma?

Melasma is a common pigmentation disorder. It causes brown or grey patches to appear on the skin, mainly on the face. Women with darker skin tones are at greater risk of developing melasma as the higher concentration of melanin provides more opportunities for the pigment to become irregularly distributed.  

While it doesn't pose any medical risk, melasma can be a cosmetic concern for many individuals, prompting them to seek various treatments and skincare strategies to manage its appearance.

What causes melasma?

What causes melasma?

Melasma, a common skin condition, arises from a combination of factors. For instance, hormonal changes play a pivotal role, with conditions like pregnancy, hormonal therapies, and even certain medical conditions causing shifts that stimulate pigment-producing cells - leading to excessive melanin production. 

Other factors like sun exposure, genetic predisposition, heat and visible light, as well as underlying medical conditions and cosmetics, can contribute to the development of this condition. The multifaceted nature of melasma means comprehensive management and treatment are required for its removal.

Melasma after pregnancy treatment

Melasma after pregnancy treatment

Treating melasma after pregnancy involves a thoughtful approach that considers the skin's sensitivity and hormonal changes. While melasma can fade on its own after childbirth due to hormonal shifts settling down, many individuals seek treatment to expedite the process. 

However, it's crucial to consult a dermatologist before undergoing any treatments, especially if breastfeeding. In some cases, dermatological procedures like chemical peels or laser therapy might be considered for postpartum melasma treatment, but these will depend on your individual circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get rid of melasma pigmentation naturally?

While complete removal of melasma pigmentation through natural methods may be challenging, certain natural approaches can help lighten its appearance over time. Consistent sun protection, using broad-spectrum sunscreen, and wearing protective clothing can prevent further darkening. Natural ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, licorice root extract, and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) found in certain fruits can contribute to a gradual reduction in pigmentation. However, it's important to manage expectations, as natural remedies may take longer to show results compared to professional treatments.

Does melasma occur in males?

Yes, melasma can occur in males as well. While it is more commonly associated with females, men can also develop melasma due to factors like sun exposure, hormonal changes, genetics, and certain medical conditions. The occurrence of melasma in males is generally less frequent, but it is still possible. 

Melasma treatment for men is similar to females and may involve a combination of topical treatments, sun protection, and professional interventions based on the severity of the condition.

What is the difference between hyperpigmentation and melasma?

Hyperpigmentation is a broad term that refers to acne scarring, sun damage, and other skin conditions that cause the darkening of the skin. Melasma is its own skin disorder. It's thought to be triggered by UV exposure and hormonal fluctuations, which is what distinguishes it from hyperpigmentation.

How long does melasma take to fade after treatment?

Treatment for melasma takes time. It'll take a minimum of at least three months to see visible effects, and the amount of time it takes to reduce the appearance of melasma will depend on which treatment route you're going to take.
