Melasma? We got you!

What is Melasma?

‍

Melasma, also known as “the mask of pregnancy,” is a skin condition that causes patches of brown, tan, or grayish discoloration on the face, often on the cheeks, forehead, chin, and upper lip.

‍

What Causes Melasma?

‍

The exact cause of melasma is unknown, but several factors can contribute to its development:

‍

• Hormonal fluctuations: Pregnancy, birth control pills, and hormone replacement therapy can trigger melasma.
• Sun exposure: UV rays are a major culprit, so sun protection is crucial.
• Genetics: Having a family history of melasma increases your risk.

‍

Natural Treatment Options at Raleigh Laser & Aesthetics:

‍

While melasma can be stubborn, we offer a range of natural, clean treatments to help manage your condition and achieve a more even skin tone:

‍

• Medical-grade skincare: We use high-quality products free of harsh chemicals that brighten and protect your skin.
• Chemical peels: Gentle peels can help remove hyperpigmentation and encourage cell turnover.
• Microneedling: This treatment stimulates collagen production and promotes skin lightening.

‍

Maintaining Healthy Skin:

‍

• Sun protection: Daily mineral sunscreen use with SPF 30 or higher is essential.
• Minimize sun exposure: Limit direct sunlight, especially during peak hours.
• Manage stress: Stress can worsen melasma, so prioritize relaxation techniques.
