Understanding Melasma: Causes and Types
Melasma is a common pigmentation disorder characterized by brown or grey-brown patches, typically appearing on the face. It primarily affects women (90% of cases) and is often triggered by:
- Hormonal changes: Pregnancy (chloasma), oral contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy
- Sun exposure: UV radiation stimulates melanocyte activity
- Genetic predisposition: Family history of melasma increases risk
- Cosmetic products: Certain skincare ingredients can trigger pigmentation
Types of Melasma We Treat
Epidermal Melasma
Superficial pigmentation in the upper skin layer. Responds well to topical treatments and lighter laser therapy.
Dermal Melasma
Deeper pigmentation in the dermis. Requires more intensive treatments like Q-switched lasers and combination therapy.
Mixed Melasma
Combination of epidermal and dermal involvement. Most common type requiring comprehensive treatment approach.
