Melasma
Pigment patches often on both sides of the face, stirred by hormones.
What it is
Melasma is chronic: hormones and sun set it off easily. We manage it with cautious protocols, never with aggressive treatments. We calm the look, we don’t cure it.
- Often hormonal
- Set off by sun and heat
- Managed, not cured
A condition managed over time: we improve it, we don’t cure it.
