Understanding Melasma & Pigmentation

Melasma and pigmentation disorders can have a profound impact on the quality of your skin and your overall appearance. They often manifest as brown or grey-brown patches on the face, especially in areas that are frequently exposed to the sun. Understanding the causes and symptoms is the first step towards finding an effective treatment.

What Causes Melasma & Pigmentation Disorders?

While the exact cause of melasma remains unknown, some factors are strongly linked to its occurrence. These include sun exposure, hormonal changes (pregnancy, contraceptives, or hormone replacement therapy), certain medications, and a family history of the condition. Similarly, pigmentation disorders can occur due to skin injuries, inflammatory problems, or certain systemic diseases.

Treatment Options for Melasma & Pigmentation Disorders

Fortunately, medical advancements have paved the way for several effective treatments for melasma and pigmentation disorders. These include laser treatments, topical creams, and chemical peels.

Laser treatments work by targeting the melanin (pigment) in your skin. The energy from the laser breaks down the melanin, causing the dark patches to fade over time.

Topical creams containing active ingredients like hydroquinone, azelaic acid, or kojic acid can also help reduce melanin production, lightening the appearance of dark spots.

Chemical peels offer a treatment alternative, although with milder results and the risk of downtime.
