What Causes Melasma on the Face?

If anybody in your family has melasma on skin, then you’re more prone to getting it.

    • Melasma on the face can also be caused due to a lot of sun exposure without protection.
    • It is also important to understand that melasma can be caused due to hormonal imbalances. 
    • It is mostly seen during your teenage years and often in women during pregnancy.

Therapy to treat Melasma

There are various cures for melasma available through a board-certified dermatologist. When topical creams and skincare ingredients do not do the trick, you can opt for various invasive and non-invasive measures. This includes chemical peels, laser treatments, oral & topical tranexamic acid treatments etc. These treatments have shown some results in some patients depending upon the level of pigmentation, whether it is epidermal [superficial level] or Dermal [deep Level].

If we are treating 100 patients for melasma, out of that 20% of the patients get very good results, with a clearance of pigmentation, 60 % of the patients get better results in the form of some reduction in pigmentation. But the remaining 20% of the patients may not improve at all with treatment or sometimes pigmentation may increase in spite of taking treatment.

In order to judge your level of improvement, we need to at least undergo 5 to 6 sessions of treatment. This will help us in understanding whether you are a right candidate for melasma treatment or not.

By comparing before and after photographs, we will be able to gauge the quality of improvement with every session. You need to understand that the best treatment for melasma on the face is a long-term commitment, and will require you to attend every session to see meaningful results. The mainstay of treatment is regularity in treatments, proper follow-up & mainly photoprotection & frequent use of sunscreen.
