Melasma Treatment
Melasma is driven largely by hormones and sun exposure, which makes it more persistent than ordinary sun spots. A careful, gradual approach works best: gentle peels, light-based therapy, and topical support, always paired with strict sun protection. Because aggressive treatment can make melasma worse, provider experience matters.
What causes melasma?
Hormonal changes including pregnancy and birth control, sun exposure, and heat all play a role. Melasma often improves with treatment but can return, so ongoing maintenance is common.

Frequently Asked Questions
What treatments help with melasma?
Providers commonly treat melasma with Chemical Peels, Photofacial / IPL, Microneedling, and Red Light Therapy. The best option depends on your skin and the severity of the concern, which a provider will assess at a consultation. Hormonal changes including pregnancy and birth control, sun exposure, and heat all play a role. Melasma often improves with treatment but can return, so ongoing maintenance is common.
How many sessions will I need for melasma?
Most treatments for melasma work best as a short series rather than a single visit, with results building over several weeks. Your provider will recommend a plan and interval based on your skin and goals at your consultation.
How do I choose a provider for melasma?
Look for a licensed, experienced provider, before-and-after photos of patients with a similar concern, and a consultation before treatment. Filter providers by treatment and compare their ratings and reviews.
