Understanding Melasma

Women are often affected by this condition, many times during pregnancy. Although melasma does not involve any pain, many people want to reduce the appearance of the darker-colored patches of skin to rejuvenate facial appearance.

Many people with melasma deal with discolored skin throughout their lives, while others may suddenly have patches of darker skin appear due to pregnancy or as a side effect of the hormones in birth control. In either case, treating the condition and restoring the facial skin to an even, clear skin tone is important for aesthetic reasons and to restore confidence and self-esteem.
