Melasma Treatment

What is Melasma?

Melasma is a common skin pigmentation disorder that causes dark, discolored patches on the face. It often appears on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and nose, and is more frequent in women, especially during hormonal changes such as pregnancy or due to oral contraceptives.

Although it’s harmless, melasma can affect confidence and appearance. The good news — with modern dermatological treatments, it can be effectively managed and lightened.

Causes of Melasma

• Hormonal changes (pregnancy, birth control pills, hormone therapy)
• Sun exposure and ultraviolet (UV) light
• Genetic predisposition
• Heat and skin irritation from cosmetics or harsh products
• Stress and thyroid disorders (less common)

Common Symptoms

• Dark brown, gray, or tan patches on the face
• Symmetrical pigmentation (appears on both sides of the face)
• Flat, painless discoloration
• Skin darkening that worsens with sun exposure
