What is Melasma?.
Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by dark, discolored patches, typically appearing on the face. At Bloom Aesthetic Clinic, we perform a detailed skin assessment to accurately diagnose melasma, often using tools like a Woods lamp examination to identify the depth of pigmentation. Our expert dermatologists evaluate your skin type, lifestyle, and possible triggers to provide a tailored treatment plan.
At Bloom Aesthetic Clinic, we specialize in melasma peel treatments, a safe and effective method to reduce pigmentation and improve skin tone. This advanced chemical peel targets the affected layers of the skin, lightening dark patches and promoting a brighter, even complexion. Our customized peel treatments are gentle yet powerful, ensuring visible results while minimizing the risk of irritation.
Causes of Melasma
Melasma is caused by an overproduction of melanin, often triggered by factors such as prolonged sun exposure, which stimulates pigment production, and hormonal changes due to pregnancy, birth control pills, or hormone therapy. Genetics also play a significant role, as a family history of melasma increases susceptibility. Additionally, certain skincare products that irritate the skin, as well as stress or thyroid imbalances, can contribute to the condition.
Tips for Managing Melasma
Managing melasma involves consistent sun protection by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and wearing protective clothing like wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses. Gentle skincare is crucial; avoid harsh products and opt for mild, fragrance-free cleansers and moisturizers. Following a dermatologist-recommended treatment plan, such as prescribed creams or peels, is essential for effective results. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle by managing stress, eating a balanced diet, and staying hydrated also supports overall skin health and helps prevent melasma from worsening.
