Melasma is a common skin condition marked by dark, irregular patches of pigmentation on the face. These patches often appear on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip and are primarily caused by an excess production of melanin. Melasma can be triggered by factors such as hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy or birth control), sun exposure, and genetic predisposition.
Advanced Laser Therapy – We use cutting-edge laser technologies, such as fractional lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL), to target and break down excess melanin. These lasers help reduce the appearance of melasma by promoting skin rejuvenation and improving overall skin tone. Multiple sessions may be needed to achieve optimal results.
Chemical Peels – Our clinic offers a range of chemical peels tailored to address melasma. These peels, including glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and trichloroacetic acid (TCA), exfoliate the skin’s surface, removing pigmented cells and stimulating new skin growth. This treatment can help lighten melasma patches and enhance skin texture.
Topical Treatments – We prescribe a variety of effective topical treatments designed to reduce melanin production and lighten dark patches. These include:
• Hydroquinone: A potent skin-lightening agent that inhibits melanin production.
• Tretinoin (Retinoids): Helps to accelerate cell turnover and fade pigmentation.
• Azelaic Acid: Provides both skin-lightening and anti-inflammatory effects.
• Kojic Acid: An alternative to hydroquinone, known for its ability to lighten hyperpigmented areas.
Microneedling with Pigmentation Serums – This minimally invasive procedure involves creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production while applying targeted pigmentation-serums. It enhances the absorption of therapeutic agents that reduce melasma.
Sun Protection Counseling – Effective management of melasma requires rigorous sun protection. At Skin 6, we provide personalized sun protection plans, including recommendations for broad-spectrum sunscreens with high SPF, and advice on avoiding peak sun exposure to prevent further pigmentation.
Customized Skincare Regimens – We develop personalized skincare routines incorporating prescription and over-the-counter products designed to complement your treatment plan. This includes antioxidants like vitamin C and niacinamide, which can help reduce pigmentation and protect the skin from environmental damage.
At Skin 6, our approach to treating melasma is both comprehensive and customized. Our team of experienced dermatologists uses the latest advancements in dermatological care to provide effective, personalized treatments. We understand the complexities of melasma and are dedicated to helping you achieve a clearer, more even complexion.
