Melasma & Pigmentation Disorders
Melasma and pigmentation disorders are skin conditions that cause dark patches, uneven skin tone, and discoloration, most commonly on the face. These concerns arise due to excess melanin production triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, genetics, aging, acne marks, or certain medications. While pigmentation issues are medically harmless, they can significantly affect appearance and confidence if not treated properly.
Common Causes of Pigmentation
- Excessive sun and UV exposure
- Hormonal changes, pregnancy, or oral contraceptives
- Post-acne marks and skin inflammation
- Genetic predisposition
- Aging and environmental damage
- Certain medications and cosmetic products
Treatment & Management Options
- Medical-grade topical creams to reduce melanin production
- Chemical peels to exfoliate pigmented skin layers
- Laser and light-based therapies for targeted pigment removal
- Customized skincare routines for long-term control
- Strict sun protection to prevent recurrence
