Melasma Overview:

Melasma is a typical form of hyperpigmentation disorder found mostly on dark skin tones. It is a state that makes your face look uneven, aged, and two coloured. It generally affects the common areas like

Usually, excessive sun exposure, hormonal imbalance, pregnancy, genetics, and use of any birth control trigger melasma.

What Triggers Melasma? Understanding the Root Causes

Melasma is a result of overproduction of melanin in the human body. When the skin cells start producing excess melanin, it will generate brownish or grey black stains. The main reason for the melanin boost is thought to be the UV radiation that goes directly into the skin. Someone encountering excess sun exposure who is in their late 30s has a higher probability of getting melasma.

Types of Melasma:

Melasma, a category of hyperpigmentation, can be categorized into three primary kinds. These will help the physician decide the best restorative procedure for you.

Post-Treatment Effects:

Outcomes of melasma treatment can differ for different skin types and melasma conditions. The results will be visible after approximately 2-3 weeks, and last up to 3 months or more. Although melasma is a long-term disease, recurrence can happen, but with continuous therapies, it can be cured.
