How to Treat Melasma: Expert Care & Telehealth Options

Understanding Melasma and Its Causes

Melasma appears as dark, discolored patches typically on the face, often linked to hormonal changes, sun exposure, and genetics. Proper diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.

Effective Treatments for Melasma

Topical Medications

Hydroquinone, tretinoin, and other bleaching agents are commonly prescribed to lighten melasma patches. Consistent application enhances results.

Laser and Light Therapies

Laser treatments can reduce pigmentation. Multiple sessions may be necessary, and these procedures should be performed by qualified dermatologists.

Chemical Peels

Superficial chemical peels help exfoliate pigmented skin, improving appearance when combined with sun protection.

Sun Protection

Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen use is vital to prevent melasma from worsening. Avoid peak sunlight hours and wear protective clothing.

Can Melasma Be Cured Completely?

While melasma can be effectively managed, it often recurs. Long-term maintenance with treatments and sun protection is key to keeping skin clear.
