Understanding the condition

Melasma needs more than a quick-fix facial

Correct diagnosis comes first.Not every dark patch is melasma. A dermatologist should distinguish it from other causes of facial pigmentation before treatment.

Melasma is a common pigmentation condition that usually affects sun-exposed areas of the face. Sunlight, visible light, hormonal influences, genetics and skin irritation can contribute to its development or recurrence.

It is often a long-term condition. Treatment aims to gradually reduce excess pigmentation, limit triggers and maintain improvement—not promise permanent removal.

At Nuance Aesthetics, we assess the pattern, depth, skin sensitivity, current products and previous treatments before recommending a plan.

Personalised melasma management

Your treatment plan may include

Treatment is selected after consultation. Procedures are supportive options and should be used cautiously in melasma-prone skin.

01

Sun & visible-light protection

Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen, protective habits and, when suitable, tinted sunscreen form the foundation of care.

02

Prescription topicals

Your dermatologist may prescribe pigment-reducing medicines according to your skin, medical history and treatment stage.

03

Skin-barrier care

A gentle routine helps reduce irritation, which can otherwise worsen pigmentation in sensitive or reactive skin.

04

Chemical peels

Carefully selected superficial peels may support pigment improvement in suitable patients as part of a broader plan.

05

Laser-based options

Selected laser procedures may be considered cautiously after assessment because inappropriate treatment can worsen pigmentation.

06

Maintenance plan

Follow-up, trigger control and ongoing skincare help maintain results and manage the tendency for recurrence.

Common questions

Melasma treatment FAQs

Melasma often has a tendency to recur. Treatment can improve pigmentation, while consistent sun protection and maintenance care help preserve the improvement.

Improvement is gradual and varies between individuals. Your dermatologist can provide a more realistic timeline after examining your skin and reviewing previous treatment.

Consistent photoprotection is central to melasma care. Your dermatologist can recommend a suitable sunscreen and advise how often to reapply based on your exposure.

Lasers are not appropriate for everyone and may sometimes worsen or reactivate pigmentation. They should be selected cautiously after a dermatologist assesses your skin.

Selected superficial peels may help some patients when combined with medical skincare and sun protection. The type and strength must be chosen for the individual.
