What Is Melasma?
Melasma, also called chloasma, happens when uneven patches of dark skin arise on the face or forearms. These tan or brown patches usually occur symmetrically around the forehead, nose, cheeks, or upper lip. The symmetry of melasma sets it apart from other skin conditions that cause skin darkening. Melasma is not at all uncommon and is found more often in women. It can be caused by sun damage or hormonal fluctuations, such as with pregnancy and menopause. Individuals with darker skin types are more prone to melasma than people with lighter complexions. Dr. Denise L. Klemczak treats melasma regularly with the PicoSure® laser by Cynosure at VIVOS Wellness in Kissimmee, FL where we provide a number of treatments that can lessen the visibility of this cosmetic condition.
How Is Melasma Treated?
Are you looking for effective ways to treat melasma? Topical treatments, like creams, gels, or lotions, are often the first step in tackling this skin condition. They're designed to lighten the affected areas gradually. For those seeking more advanced solutions, VIVOS Wellness offers several procedures, like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or PicoSure laser system. These techniques have gained popularity due to their effectiveness. The key to maintaining these results lies in diligent sun protection and regular skin care. By combining treatments with good skin care habits, you can expect to see lasting improvements.
What Are the Symptoms of Melasma?
Melasma is characterized by discoloration or hyperpigmentation primarily on the face. Three kinds of ordinary facial patterns are identified in those with melasma:
- Centrofacial (center of your face): Hyperpigmentation around the cheeks, upper lip, nose, chin, and forehead
- Malar (cheekbones): Melasma patterns around the upper cheeks
- Mandibular (jawbone): Hyperpigmentation along the jaw
