Melasma is characterized by darker patches on the skin. Also called hyperpigmentation, melasma can appear on the cheeks, nose, forehead, chin, and the upper lip. This condition can be triggered by hormone fluctuations (melasma is sometimes called the pregnancy mask because its frequent occurrence in pregnant women), sun damage, and genetics. Melasma is not dangerous or cancerous, but the hyperpigmentation can sometimes make people feel self-conscious and less confident.
The main causes of melasma are fatigue and hormones. There are other possible causes including:
Certain Medications
Genetics
LED Lights
Hypothyroidism
Skincare and Cosmetics
Tanning Beds
Pregnancy Contraceptives, and
Hormone Therapies
Skin Kahala favors a customized and comprehensive treatment protocol for melasma based on your unique characteristics, the severity of your melasma, and your goals for treatment. It is important to understand not all medical clinics can treat melasma effectively, in fact, we often see clients who have had various treatments at other clinics making their condition much worse. Melasma requires a very specific treatment protocol that we are proud to have mastered at Skin Kahala. We have the most advanced technology to treat this condition and leverage a number of advanced skin care products to achieve optimal results.
