Melasma / Pigmentation
What is Melasma/ Pigmentation?
Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by symmetrical, dark patches, typically on the face. It is often triggered by:
- Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, oral contraceptives, or hormone replacement therapy.
- Sun exposure: UV rays stimulate melanin production, worsening discoloration.
- Genetics: A family history of melasma increases susceptibility.
Hyperpigmentation refers to darkened patches of skin caused by excess melanin production. Unlike melasma, it can result from various factors, including:
- Sun damage: Freckles, sunspots, or age spots from prolonged UV exposure.
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark spots left behind by acne, injuries, or other skin conditions.
- Skin disorders: Conditions like lichen planus or eczema can lead to localized pigmentation.
Advanced Treatments for Melasma and Hyperpigmentation
- Chemical Peels: Medical-grade peels exfoliate the skin’s outer layers, reducing the appearance of dark patches and improving overall skin tone. Customizable for different skin types, they are effective for mild to moderate hyperpigmentation.
- Microneedling with PRP: Microneedling combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) enhances skin rejuvenation and stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing pigmentation.
- Skin Lightening Treatments: Topical solutions with hydroquinone, retinoids, or vitamin C can lighten dark spots over time by inhibiting melanin production.
- Customized Skincare Regimens: We offer medical-grade skincare products tailored to your skin’s needs, ensuring ongoing care and maintenance of results.
Preventing and Managing
To maintain your results and prevent future pigmentation:
- Daily sun protection: Use broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
- Avoid triggers: Minimize sun exposure and address hormonal factors where possible.
- Follow-up treatments: Regular maintenance sessions can prolong results.
