Melasma is one of those skin problems that can occur and cause self-esteem issues, annoyance and frustration. Let’s discuss what exactly it is and how we can treat it.

What is Melasma?

Melasma is a skin condition that causes brown patches to occur on the face, usually around the cheeks, forehead, nose and upper lip.

Who gets Melasma?

It mainly occurs in women, only 10% of patients are men. Additionally, people with darker skin types from Hispanic, African or Middle Eastern descent are most inclined to develop it along with patients who have a blood relative who also has Melasma. They are also more likely to develop it.

What causes Melasma?

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, there’s no definitive answer to what causes Melasma. However it’s thought that it occurs when color-making skin cells start producing more color. Even though a firm cause hasn’t been established, there are some common triggers that have been. The most common is hormone imbalance. This is why women tend to develop Melasma during pregnancy. Another cause is sun exposure. The ultraviolet rays stimulate the color-making skin cells. The rays are so powerful that even a small amount of sun exposure after the skin has been treated or the Melasma has faded on its own, can cause it to come back immediately.

How to treat Melasma?

At Fox Vein & Laser Experts we offer our patients the best Melasma treatment with our state-of-the-art PicoWay Laser. This laser facial approves the appearance of pigmentation in a quick and simple procedure that doesn’t require recovery down time afterwards.

Short beams of concentrated light target the treatment area, which break up the inner structures of the skin that are causing the pigmentation. These structures dissipate and are removed from the body allowing the pigmentation on your face to fade into a more even toned complexion.

Although Melasma is seen to occur more often on darker skin shades, our PicoWay Laser works wonders on all skin types and colors. Plus due to its accuracy and effectiveness, this procedure delivers a photo facial treatment in a much faster time span, with each session taking no longer than 20 minutes. The number of treatments you will need depends on the extent of the Melasma and your ideal skin complexion goal as a whole. During your first appointment with one of our professional medical staff, we will evaluate your skin and decide the right number of sessions for you. Even some alternative medicine and Acupuncture clinics in NYC agree with the medical side of using traditional laser treatments to help patients.

At Fox Vein & Laser Experts we are proud to offer our patients the best laser treatment in Miami and throughout South Florida for Melasma and also for a variety of other skin conditions that worry and frustrate many of us
