Melasma Treatment

Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by patches of hyperpigmentation, often appearing on the face. Melasma treatment typically involves a multi-faceted approach that may include topical medications containing ingredients like hydroquinone, retinoids, and azelaic acid to lighten the dark patches. In-office procedures such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and specific laser treatments may also be used to help reduce pigmentation. Sun protection is crucial in managing melasma and preventing recurrence.
