Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by dark, discolored patches on the face, typically appearing on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and bridge of the nose. Although harmless, melasma can significantly affect self-esteem and confidence due to its noticeable appearance. At Cure MD in Edmonton, we understand the emotional and aesthetic concerns caused by melasma and offer specialized treatments designed to reduce discoloration and restore your skin's natural, even tone.
Melasma results from an overproduction of melanin, the pigment that gives color to your skin. While the exact cause is not fully understood, several factors contribute to melasma, including sun exposure, hormonal changes (such as pregnancy or contraceptive use), genetics, and certain medications. The condition most commonly affects women, although it can occur in anyone, and tends to be chronic, often requiring ongoing management to maintain clear skin.
What is Melasma?
Melasma appears as symmetrical, blotchy, brownish-gray pigmentation primarily on the facial area. The condition is particularly influenced by hormonal fluctuations and UV exposure, causing melanocytes (cells responsible for pigment production) to become overly active and produce excess pigment.
Due to its chronic and persistent nature, melasma can be challenging to treat effectively without professional intervention. Proper management typically involves addressing both external factors such as sun protection and internal factors like hormonal balance.
