Melasma Treatment
Melasma is a stubborn pigmentation disorder that causes brown or gray patches, usually on the face, and can affect confidence and self-esteem. At Dermea Clinic, we specialize in personalized melasma treatments designed to restore clear, even-toned, and healthy-looking skin.
Our Approach
Our dermatologists begin with a comprehensive skin evaluation to identify the type and severity of melasma, followed by a tailored treatment plan using a combination of medical, procedural, and preventive approaches.
We combine FDA-approved technologies, prescription therapies, and lifestyle guidance to not only treat melasma but also help prevent recurrence.
Treatment Procedures
Step 1: Consultation & Diagnosis
- Dermatologist assesses pigmentation depth and pattern.
- Classification into epidermal, dermal, or mixed melasma.
- Triggers (hormonal, UV exposure, lifestyle) identified.
Step 2: Treatment Plan
A customized plan may include:
- Topical Medications: Prescription creams (hydroquinone, tretinoin, corticosteroids) to lighten pigmentation.
- Chemical Peels: Gentle, medical-grade peels to exfoliate pigmented skin and promote cell turnover.
- Microdermabrasion: Controlled exfoliation to improve surface texture and pigmentation.
- Laser Therapy: Advanced Q-switched laser to target deeper pigmentation.
- Combination Therapies: Integrated approach for resistant melasma cases.
Step 3: Aftercare & Prevention
- Daily sunscreen use and sun protection counseling.
- Lifestyle modifications (avoiding triggers, gentle skincare routine).
- Regular follow-ups for long-term results.
