How Do I Know If I Have Melasma?

Melasma often appears as dark, discoloured patches on areas of the skin exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck, or forearms. These patches are usually symmetrical and can vary in size and intensity. Common triggers include hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy or birth control), sun exposure, or genetics. If you notice persistent discolouration or uneven pigmentation on your skin, it’s best to consult our medical professional for an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plan.

How Does Melasma Treatment Work?

Our physician-guided treatment for melasma uses a customized compounded cream formulated to target hyperpigmentation at its source. This prescription combination typically includes dexamethasone, hydroquinone, and tretinoin — ingredients that work together to reduce excess pigment, decrease inflammation, and promote healthy skin cell turnover.

Hydroquinone helps lighten areas of hyperpigmentation by reducing melanin production. Tretinoin supports cellular renewal, allowing pigmented skin cells to shed more efficiently and improving overall skin texture. Dexamethasone helps calm inflammation, which can contribute to melasma and skin irritation.

Because this formulation is compounded, the strength and combination of ingredients can be adjusted based on your skin type, sensitivity, and severity of pigmentation. This personalized approach enhances effectiveness while prioritizing safety and tolerance.

Treatment results develop gradually over time, and consistent use as directed is essential for optimal outcomes. Sun protection is also critical, as UV exposure can worsen melasma and counteract progress.

Before starting treatment, a medical consultation is required to assess your skin and determine the most appropriate plan for your individual needs.

What Are Some Ways to Prevent Melasma?

Preventing melasma starts with protecting your skin from its most common triggers, especially sun exposure. Here are some effective ways to minimize your risk:

Apply Sunscreen Daily: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, even on cloudy days. Reapply every two hours if you're outdoors.

Wear Protective Gear: Hats with wide brims and UV-blocking sunglasses can shield your face from harmful rays.

Limit Sun Exposure: Stay in the shade during peak sunlight hours, typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Use Gentle Skincare: Avoid harsh products that can irritate your skin and potentially worsen pigmentation.

Manage Hormonal Triggers: Speak with your healthcare provider if hormonal changes, such as pregnancy or birth control, seem to exacerbate melasma.

Maintain a Healthy Skincare Routine: Incorporate products with ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin C, or azelaic acid, which can support even skin tone.

By following these steps, you can help reduce your chances of developing melasma or prevent it from worsening.
