Treatment for Melasma

The treatments we offer in our clinic are:

  • Chemical peel: Chemical peel is specifically formulated to treat pigmented skin and works by accelerating the skin's natural rejuvenation process, exfoliating deeply, penetrating the damaged surface layers and encouraging them to gradually fade away.
  • Micro-needling: The treatment is carried out through small punctures made by micro-needles that are able to reduce pigmentation, including melasma. Dermocosmetics are also used to help lighten the spots
  • Green Peel: For those seeking a more natural option. Recognized worldwide, Green Peel has proven to be a safe and successful method of non-invasive skin resurfacing. The blend of herbs, mixed with an active skin lightening solution, provides skin exfoliation, deep cleansing and detoxification of the skin, and stimulates the depigmentation process.

 

Causes

There are several types of hyperpigmentation, but the most common are age spots that are caused by exposure to the sun. For this reason they appear mainly on parts of the body that are frequently exposed, such as the face, hands and arms. They tend to be small dark patches of skin.

Melasma or chloasma is often referred to as 'the mask of pregnancy', since it affects 90% of pregnant women. It occurs as a result of hormonal influences, such as pregnancy and birth control pills, and causes dark, irregular areas on the face or arms that can be quite large.

Freckles often appear on the face. Freckles are caused by exposure to the sun and usually appear on the face.

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation occurs when a skin injury or trauma heals and leaves behind a flat area of discoloration. It is commonly found among acne sufferers and can also be caused by cosmetic procedures such as dermabrasion, laser treatment, and chemical peels.

 

What is Melasma?

Melasma, freckles, age spots, and other small spots are caused by melanin, a substance that gives our skin its color. When melanin builds up in a spot, it becomes apparent as a discolored area.

Skin pigmentation (hyperpigmentation) occurs when melanin is produced in excessive amounts in certain spots on the skin. Hyperpigmentation results in flat, dark patches on the skin that are light brown to black in color and can vary in size and shape.
