Understand melasma and care for a more even-looking complexion
Melasma is influenced by multiple factors and can recur. Care should begin by assessing the skin, identifying triggers and creating a longer-term plan without rushing or overpromising results.

General health information
What is melasma, and why does it need ongoing care?
Melasma is a pigmentation condition that often appears as brown or grey-brown patches on the face. Sunlight, visible light, hormones, genetics and irritation may contribute to its onset or worsening.
Care often takes time and includes managing triggers. Because melasma can return, no single option should be presented as a permanent cure.
Goals of melasma care
- Understand the type and pattern of pigmentation
- Reduce manageable triggers, especially light exposure and irritation
- Support gradual improvement in the appearance of uneven tone
- Create a sustainable maintenance plan to help limit recurrence
General health information
Who may benefit from an assessment?
Assessment is useful for facial pigmentation or recurring melasma. A clinician should first distinguish melasma from other pigmentation conditions.
- 01
Brown patches on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip or jawline
- 02
Pigmentation that becomes more noticeable after sun or heat exposure
- 03
Irritation after previous products or procedures
- 04
A need to review sun protection and a realistic ongoing routine
General health information
Assessment and care planning
No single approach suits every form of melasma. A plan may include light protection, topical products or adjunct procedures based on assessment and verified product information.
02 — Skin assessment
Consider pattern, location, skin tone and other conditions that can resemble melasma before setting realistic goals.
03 — Plan and follow-up
Select appropriate options, explain limitations and adjust the plan according to the skin’s response.

- Pregnancy, plans for pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Medical conditions, medicines, allergies and unusual scarring
- Rash, wounds, infection or unusually sensitive skin in the area

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about melasma
01Can melasma be cured permanently?
+
Melasma is often chronic and may recur. Care focuses on triggers, a more even-looking tone and a sustainable maintenance plan.
02Should I begin with a laser or a topical product?
+
That depends on the pigmentation, skin tone, prior care and irritation risk. Assessment should come before selecting or combining options.
03Is sunscreen alone enough?
+
Light protection is a core part of care, but it may not be sufficient for everyone. Other options depend on assessment.
04How long does improvement take?

Timing varies with melasma type, triggers, the chosen approach and consistency. A fixed timeline cannot be guaranteed.
