Understanding
the Issue
Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown or gray-brown patches to appear on the skin, typically on the face – especially on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip.
Melasma’s exact cause remains elusive, but several factors are believed to play a role in its development. Understanding these factors is crucial for a comprehensive treatment.
A family history of melasma can increase your susceptibility to this skin condition.
Women are more prone to melasma due to hormonal changes. Commonly known as "the mask of pregnancy," it frequently occurs during pregnancy. Hormone therapies like birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy can also trigger melasma.
Individuals with darker skin tones, particularly of Hispanic, Asian, Middle Eastern, and African descent, have a higher risk of developing melasma.
Be cautious with skincare products and cosmetics. Some ingredients can irritate the skin or make it more sensitive to UV radiation, worsening melasma.
Prolonged sun exposure, with its ultraviolet (UV) rays, stimulates melanin production, the pigment responsible for skin colour. Melasma often worsens with UV exposure and can be triggered or exacerbated by it.
Conditions like thyroid disorders and certain medications can increase skin sensitivity to light, potentially contributing to melasma development.
Remember, your melasma journey is unique, and our treatments are tailored to your specific needs and skin condition.
Our Forever Young IPL Laser harnesses a blend of specific wavelengths, precisely targeting excess melanin while promoting collagen production, diminishing the appearance of melasma.
