BROWNSPOTS SKIN AND HYPERPIGMENTATION

Melasma is a common skin condition where brown patches form on the face, usually due to hormonal reasons. Melasma mainly affects women and can look like dark brown patches appearing on the mid portions of the face, although some patients notice these patches along the temples as well. The best treatment for melasma is a combined approach of using Retinols, skin lighteners, and antioxidants.

Treatments Options:

  • Sun should be avoided, as it can exacerbate and cause melasma reformation.
  • Topical treatments like hydroquinone combined with a retinol also works for a lot of patients. The hydroquinone promotes skin lightening and takes 6 weeks to be effective, while the retinol stimulates skin turnover. Other effective topical treatments include skin lighteners and antioxidants.
  • Chemical peels are also beneficial. The Melanage Peel is effective and well tolerated by a variety of skin types.
  • Newer intense pulsed light likes Lumeca is helpful in targeting brown areas in less treatments.
  • While traditional lasers used for melasma treatments are controversial, PICO lasers allow for much safer treatment, as these lasers utilizes a picosecond (1 trillionth of a second pulse) vs a nano second (1 billionth of a second). Faster pulse times prevent heat from building up, which can irritate melanocytes.
