Solutions for Melasma at Dr Rasha Clinic
We offer treatments that are essential for addressing this common skin condition, Melasma, characterised by dark patches, typically on the face, that are darker than the person’s natural skin tone.
Melasma on the face can affect a wide range of individuals, with prevalence rates ranging from 1.5% to 33% depending on the population. It tends to be more common in people with light brown to darker skin tones, especially in regions with high sun exposure. Women are particularly susceptible, often developing brown patches on the cheeks, nose bridge, and forehead.
What Causes Melasma?
The exact mechanisms behind melasma remain somewhat elusive, but it is believed to involve the malfunction of melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin colour. In melasma, these cells produce excess pigmentation in specific areas, causing characteristic dark patches. Risk factors contributing to melasma include:
- Sun Exposure: Frequent exposure to UV rays can activate pigmentation patches.
- Skin Color: Melasma is most often seen in individuals with light brown skin tones, especially in sunny regions.
- Female Prevalence: Melasma affects females disproportionately, with roughly nine times more women than men experiencing it.
- Pregnancy: During pregnancy, melasma affects 15% to 50% of pregnant individuals due to hormonal changes.
- Genetics: About 50% of individuals with melasma report a family history of the condition.
Potential triggers include hormonal changes (as seen in chloasma during pregnancy), sun exposure, certain skincare products, and specific medications like anti-seizure drugs and those that increase sensitivity to sunlight.
How To Tackle Melasma?
If melasma results from hormonal changes, such as pregnancy or birth control, it may fade post-pregnancy or after stopping medication. Dermatologists recommend high-SPF sunscreen to prevent melasma on the face and other areas.
For persistent cases, effective melasma treatment options may be required to lighten or remove patches, although melasma can sometimes recur. Treatments for this condition include:
- Hydroquinone: A prescription topical available in lotions, creams, or gels to lighten dark patches.
- Corticosteroids and Tretinoin: These creams, lotions, or gels help reduce pigmentation intensity.
- Additional Topical Medications: Azelaic acid and kojic acid, effective in lightening dark areas of the skin.
- Medical Procedures: For stubborn cases, dermatologists may recommend microdermabrasion, chemical peels, laser for melasma, and light therapy.
