What Is Melasma?

Melasma is a stubborn form of pigmentation that appears as symmetrical brown or grey-brown patches, usually on the cheeks, forehead and upper lip. It is often linked to hormones and sun, and needs patient, expert care.

At Essentia Derma we manage melasma with a careful combination of topicals, gentle peels and low-dose laser toning, plus strict sun protection - the key to keeping it controlled.

How Does It Work?

Melasma is driven by overactive pigment cells that flare with sun and hormonal changes. Treatment calms these cells, lifts surface pigment gently, and shields the skin so flare-ups are minimised.
