How it works
What causes melasma
Melasma causes patchy brown or gray-brown discoloration, often on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip. Sun exposure, hormones, and other triggers can contribute. A dermatologist can distinguish it from other pigment conditions.
Protecting against both UV and visible light matters. A tinted, broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen containing iron oxides, together with shade and a hat, is a useful daily starting point. Gentle skincare helps avoid irritation that can darken patches.
Topical treatment and maintenance usually come before adding a procedure. MOXI is a fractional laser that uses heat; peels and microneedling also create controlled injury. Each needs careful selection because irritation can worsen pigment. None makes skin immune to another flare.

Meet the providers who discuss cosmetic options and recovery. Melasma benefits from a dermatologist's diagnosis and treatment plan, particularly when it persists, recurs, or has worsened after a procedure.
