What is melasma and what is the reason behind its occurrence?
Melasma is a common skin condition that causes dark, discolored patches on the skin. It primarily affects the face, but it can also occur in other areas of the body that are frequently exposed to the sun, such as the neck and forearms. Melasma is more commonly seen in women, particularly during pregnancy (often called “the mask of pregnancy”) or while taking hormonal contraceptives. However, it can also affect men. The exact cause of melasma is not fully understood, but several factors are believed to contribute to its development. These factors include hormonal changes (such as pregnancy or hormone therapy), sun exposure, genetic predisposition, and certain medications or cosmetics that can sensitize the skin to sunlight.
How Melasma is diagnosed by dermatologists at our MOKOSH CLINIC?
- Our dermatologist can usually detect melasma by attentively inspecting your face and neck.
- Our dermatologist will use a specialized gadget, such as a Wood’s light or dermatoscopy, to get a close-up look. These gadgets, when placed on (or near) your skin, allow your dermatologist to observe how deeply the darker pigment penetrates the layers of your skin.

Melasma may resolve on its own. Melasma is frequently caused by a trigger, such as pregnancy or a medicine. Melasma may diminish after you have your baby or stop taking the medicine. Melasma can potentially persist for years if not a lifetime. While melasma is not harmful to your health, it is understandable that many individuals seek to remedy it. If you wish to treat melasma, make sure to question your dermatologist about treatment costs. Most insurance will not cover the expense of melasma treatment since it is not deemed medically necessary. If you decide to treat melasma, our dermatologist will design a treatment plan specifically for you. This implies that your treatment strategy will take into account your skin tone, the depth of the melasma, and any melasma triggers you may have. Melasma can be triggered by sunlight, birth control medications, and even stress.
The treatment’s objectives can be as follows:
- Reduce the amount of pigment your body produces.
- Even out your skin tone and return it to its natural hue.
To achieve these objectives, a treatment strategy might include:
1.Sun protection:
- The sunlight is not good for people who are already suffering from the problem of melasma. The harmful UV rays cause your skin to generate more pigments that can lead to pigmentation patches on the skin and deepen the effects of already present melasma.
- Our dermatologist will give you advice on how to keep your skin safe from the sun. The most usual advice is to wear a hat with a wide brim to keep the face safe from direct sunlight, or to use an umbrella.
- You should use a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 50 with a triple plus rating. Keep reapplying it throughout the day to ensure maximum protection.
- Dermatologists frequently advise patients with melasma to use a sunscreen that contains: Zinc oxide, Titanium dioxide, and Iron oxide.
2.Medicines and procedures
Our dermatologist will prescribe a drug to reduce excess pigmentation in your skin. The majority of patients are given a prescription for medication to be applied to their skin at home.
The dermatologist may recommend one or more of the following treatments:
Hydroquinone is a frequent melasma therapy. When applied to the skin, it helps to balance out the skin tone. Hydroquinone is no longer available for purchase without a prescription.
Tretinoin with a low-dose corticosteroid: This combination combines a retinoid and an anti-inflammatory, both of which can help to balance out skin tone. This lotion contains three medications: tretinoin (a retinoid), a corticosteroid to decrease inflammation, and hydroquinone to lighten your skin tone.
What if the Pigmentation and Melasma Treatment are not capable of treating the condition of melasma?
Melasma can be stubborn even when you follow your treatment plan. Melasma is still visible in certain patients. Researchers have been examining this issue, which has resulted in various therapy breakthroughs. Our dermatologist will include one or more of the following in your treatment plan to improve your results:
- Chemical peel: The dermatologist will apply a chemical solution to the melasma during this process. This can aid in the removal of excess pigment.
- Microneedling: This minimally invasive process rips your skin into microscopic tears. As the skin heals, the skin tone becomes more even.
- A few studies have shown that adding a laser or light treatment can improve results for people who are already using medication for their skin and protecting their skin from UV rays.
- Platelet-rich plasma: This technique includes collecting a little amount of your blood, placing it in a machine that separates the blood into layers, and then injecting the plasma layer of blood into the melasma-affected skin. This will help to balance out your skin tone.
Only a board-certified dermatologist should conduct the procedures listed above. Obtaining the required results necessitates extensive knowledge of the skin. A board-certified dermatologist has the skills needed to choose the best procedure for each patient, advise you on what to expect, and carry out the procedure safely. Our dermatologists at Dezire clinic are certified and highly experienced in treating patients with different skin conditions.
