Patchy brown or gray-brown discoloration, often on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip, commonly linked to hormones and sun exposure.
Melasma is a chronic pigmentation condition caused by overactive melanocytes, often appearing symmetrically across the face. Triggers include hormonal changes (pregnancy, oral contraceptives, menopause), sun exposure, heat, and genetics.
First-line care options may include custom peels, TCA chemical peels, microneedling, RF microneedling, DiamondGlow, and Sciton Moxi—combined with medical-grade pigment correctors and strict sun protection. Gentle, layered approaches are prioritized to avoid rebound pigmentation.
Adults with hormonally driven or sun-induced patchy pigmentation seeking safer, gradual improvement over time.
