Melasma

Melasma is also called a pregnancy mask and has a hormonal cause. Melasma is characterised by pigmentation spots in the face. This is due to a surplus of melanin, the building material of pigment. The pigmentation spots often develop gradually due to a combination of sunlight and hormonal changes, such as taking the pill and going through a pregnancy. This brown discolouration mainly occurs on the face: on the forehead, upper lip or cheekbones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Melasma

Melasma is the most difficult pigment problem to treat. The pigment is located deeper in the skin, making it more difficult to treat. After considerable research, Huidzorg West started using the Toskani Spot out Kit plus. This is the most effective treatment for deeper pigment. Depending on the appearance of the skin, this treatment is combined with the fractionated laser or a chemical peel where possible. By using these different treatment methods, the skin therapist can effectively treat the melasma.

Unfortunately, melasma is a chronic pigment disorder. With the use of treatment methods, the skin therapist can reduce the symptoms but not the cause. With melasma, new pigmentation spots can always be formed. This can be maintained through follow-up treatment and good skin care.

Melasma is caused by overproduction of the pigment ‘melanin’. Although the condition usually arises in response to hormonal changes, such as pregnancy, use of the contraceptive pill and hormonal fluctuations, other factors such as UV exposure, heredity, age and certain medications can also play a part.
