What is Melasma?

Melasma is a common skin imperfection that causes gray-brown patches in the skin. It’s often found on the cheeks, forehead, and chin, but can sprout up on any part of the skin that is frequently exposed to the sun. These gray-brown patches can appear more towards the surface of the skin (dermal melasma) or are deeper within layers of the skin (epidermal melasma). Both dermal and epidermal melasma are treated differently, which is why we recommend consulting with our medical staff to best determine which treatment option may be right for the type of melasma you may experience.

What Causes Melasma?

  • Extensive exposure to UV light from the sun can influence melanocytes, which are the cells in the body that produce coloring in the skin, resulting in melasma.
  • Hormonal changes can cause melasma. Pregnant women are likely to develop this skin imperfection with the hormonal changes they may experience.
  • Certain skin care products may stimulate melasma by irritating the skin.
