Melasma and Freckles

Melasma is a common skin condition – development of dark, irregular patches on the skin, often on the face.

Causes of Melasma and Freckles:

Hormonal Fluctuations: Hormonal changes, like those experienced during pregnancy, menopause, or due to birth control pills, can trigger both melasma and freckles.

Sun Exposure: Prolonged sun exposure is a common factor in the development of both melasma and freckles. UV radiation can stimulate melanin production in the skin, leading to these conditions.

Genetic Predisposition: A family history of melasma and freckles can increase the likelihood of developing these skin concerns.

Common Symptoms of Melasma and Freckles:

Hyperpigmented Areas: Melasma and freckles often manifest as patches of brown, gray, or tan skin. They typically appear on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and chin.

Symmetrical Appearance: These conditions often show up symmetrically on both sides of the face.

Treatments for Melasma and Freckles:

Laser and Light Therapies: Our clinic employs laser and light therapies to target excess melanin in affected areas, helping to fade patches and even out skin tone, addressing both melasma and freckles.

Chemical Peels: Chemical peels can effectively treat melasma and freckles. This procedure involves applying a chemical solution to exfoliate the skin, encouraging the growth of new, evenly pigmented skin.

Topical Treatments: We offer topical treatments with ingredients like hydroquinone, retinoids, or corticosteroids to gradually lighten melasma and freckles.

Sun Protection: Essential for managing both conditions, we provide guidance on sunscreen and protective clothing to reduce UV exposure.

Customized Treatment Plans: Our skilled professionals create personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs and skin type, addressing both melasma and freckles.

Post-Treatment Care: We provide post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal results and help prevent the recurrence of melasma and freckles.
