Treating Melasma:
Regain Your Even, Radiant Complexion
Melasma is a common skin concern that causes brown to gray-brown patches to appear on the face, typically on the cheeks, forehead, bridge of the nose, and upper lip. While harmless, these patches of hyperpigmentation can be a significant source of frustration. At Radiance Clinic, we understand the complexities of melasma and offer advanced solutions to help you manage this condition and restore your skin’s clarity.
What is Melasma?
What Causes Melasma?
The exact cause of melasma is not fully understood, but the main triggers include:
- Sun Exposure: UV light from the sun is a primary trigger. It stimulates melanocytes, which is why melasma often worsens during the summer months.
- Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone can trigger melasma. This is why it’s common during pregnancy, while taking birth control pills, or during hormone replacement therapy.
- Genetics: A family history of melasma increases your likelihood of developing the condition.
- Skin Irritation: Certain skincare products or treatments that irritate the skin can sometimes worsen melasma.
How to Manage and Treat Melasma
A combination of diligent at-home care and professional treatments yields the best results.
At-Home and Preventive Care:
The single most important step is rigorous sun protection.
- Use Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen: Apply a sunscreen with SPF 50+ every single day, even when it’s cloudy or you’re indoors. Reapply every two hours when outside.
- Wear a Hat: A wide-brimmed hat provides excellent physical protection.
- Gentle Skincare: Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer to avoid irritating the skin.
Professional Treatments at Radiance Clinic:
Because melasma lies deep within the skin, topical creams are often not enough. We offer advanced treatments to break down and remove excess pigment safely: - Picosecond Laser: This is a gold-standard treatment for melasma. The laser uses ultra-short pulses of energy to shatter pigment into tiny particles, which the body then naturally eliminates. It is safe, effective, and requires minimal downtime.
- Chemical Peels: A customized chemical solution is applied to the skin to gently exfoliate the top layers, revealing a more even-toned complexion and fading dark patches over time.
- Personalized Skincare Regimens: Our experts can recommend medical-grade skincare products with ingredients like tranexamic acid or vitamin C to suppress pigment production and enhance the results of your in-clinic treatments.
