What Is Melasma?
Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown or gray-brown patches—usually on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and chin. It often appears in symmetrical patterns and is more common in women, especially those with medium to darker skin tones.
What Causes Melasma?
Melasma is triggered by a combination of internal and external factors, including:
- Hormonal changes (pregnancy, birth control, hormone therapy)
- UV exposure
- Heat and infrared light
- Genetic predisposition
- Skin inflammation or irritation
Understanding the root cause of your melasma is key to choosing the most effective treatment strategy.
How to Get Rid of Melasma?
While melasma is a chronic condition that can fade and return over time, the right combination of melasma treatments can significantly reduce pigmentation and prevent recurrence. At Spa by RescueMD, we use a multimodal approach combining in-office procedures and curated topical regimens.
Our Melasma Treatment Options
✨ Dye VL by Alma Lasers
The Dye VL handpiece delivers focused light energy that targets melanin and vascular components, helping break down pigmentation with minimal discomfort. It’s highly effective for both epidermal and vascular forms of melasma.
✨ ClearLift by Alma Lasers
ClearLift is a non-ablative Q-switched laser that treats pigmentation at deeper dermal layers. It’s gentle, safe for all skin tones, and requires no downtime—making it ideal for treating melasma in darker skin types.
