Melasma
Melasma is a skin pigmentation disorder that develops over time and requires an initial treatment, along with ongoing maintenance therapy to prevent the issue reoccurring. Although Melasma is not curable, our treatment is comprised of a combined approach using tinted sunscreens, lasers, peels and tablets.
Causes of Melasma
The causes of melasma are various and include:
Genetic and hormonal factors,
Excess UV and visible light exposure
The effect of excessive friction or heat.
Effective treatment involves treating both the surface layer and deeper pigment elements of your skin.
The Skin Company approach:
The impact melasma has on people should not be underestimated. The importance of daily tinted SPF50+ broad spectrum sunscreen can never be over emphasised. Our treatments are customised combinations of rotational prescriptive topicals, laser therapy( MOXI laser if appropriate), peels and antioxidant treatment and in some patients oral prescriptive medications.
Dr Sinovich will evaluate your skin and recommend a personalised treatment plan for you.
