WHAT IS IT? WHAT ARE THE CAUSES, SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS?

Melasma is a very common patchy brown, tan, or blue-gray facial skin discoloration, usually seen in women in the reproductive years. It typically appears on the upper cheeks, upper lip, forehead, and chin of women 20-50 years of age. It is uncommon in males. It is thought to be primarily related to external sun exposure, external hormones like birth control pills, and internal hormonal changes as seen in pregnancy. Most people with melasma have a history of daily or intermittent sun exposure, although heat is also suspected to be an underlying factor. Melasma is most common among pregnant women, especially those of Latin and Asian descent. People with olive or darker skin, like Hispanic, Asian and Middle Eastern individuals, have higher incidences of Melasma.

TREATMENT SOLUTION – COSMELAN
Cosmelan treatments are an innovative treatment system that targets and unwanted pigmentation on the face and body. The treatments are safe and non-invasive.
Cosmelan attenuates the appearance of existing pigmentation whilst stifling future excess production.
The treatments may be performed during any time of the year, including Summer.
The cosmeceutical ingredients are effective yet gentle, assuring you of comfort while obtaining successful results.
Cosmelan does not contain hydroquinone or bleaching agents. When used in a targeted treatment regimen, Cosmelan can work rapidly to deliver results (which are noticeable in as little as one procedure).
Treatment may be performed on patients of all ages and ethnicities. Cosmelan is quite effective on melasma, a form of hormonally-induced pigmentation. Cosmelan is also effective in the treatment of post-acne marks and sunspots, leading to a luminous finish.
Cosmelan is an excellent alternative for people who cannot tolerate laser, IPL, or chemical peels.
Please note that it is vital to keep your skin well-hydrated following the removal of the Cosmelan mask to reduce unwanted dryness or flaking.
Most patients using Cosmelan will experience a dramatic reduction in the appearance of unwanted pigmentation. To ensure long-lasting results, we recommend using a targeted skincare regimen that can be developed in our clinic.
