Melasma is a skin disorder that results in the production of dark patches on the skin. It is considered one of the most common skin conditions that men and women face today. For many people, it is a cosmetic concern but sometimes leads to serious complications. In that case, it must be treated as soon as possible. Melasma can affect almost any body part but most likely appear on the forehead, cheeks, upper lips, and nose.
You should also know that the problem is not age-specific, people of all ages i-e from children to the elderly can face this problem. So, if you are suffering from this condition and looking for treatments, don’t worry you’re not alone in this. For more information about Melasma Causes Symptoms & Treatments, read this blog.
Causes:
Let’s move towards the causes of melasma. According to a recent study, 70% of patients had melasma due to sun exposure. We are aware of the fact that patches appear on the skin surface whenever our skin is exposed to the sun for a longer period and when this happens we say that our skin is pigmented. Melasma Treatment in Dubai is also a type of pigmentation because it also leads to the abnormal coloring of skin therefore the causes of melasma are almost similar to that of pigmentation.
Melasma generally happens when melanocytes begin to produce too much melanin in the skin. The over-activeness of melanocytes can occur due to several reasons such as pregnancy, stress, medications, hormonal imbalance, or sun exposure. All these health conditions trigger melanin production and eventually lead to dark and grey patches on the skin’s surface.
Diagnosis:
Generally, a simple visual exam is done for diagnosis but for a more detailed analysis, doctors perform a biopsy. In this test, a small piece of the affected skin is taken and tested to gather smaller details about it.
Symptoms:
As mentioned above, melasma is simply a skin discoloration so, when this happens, dark and light patches and spots appear on the skin. It typically affects the forehead and upper lips but other body parts that are often exposed to sun exposure can also suffer from this condition.
Treatments;
For some people, melasma fades over time but for others, it resides on the skin for the rest of their lives. If you have melasma and you want to eradicate it, Dynamic clinic is a wonderful place. The best treatments that we offer for melasma include:
Topical creams:
In early melasma disease, topical creams are often recommended to patients. Ointments with azelaic acid and kojic acid are used on the skin for skin resurfacing and toning. The ingredients present in these creams slow down the production of melanin to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone. The results are astonishing but temporary, they disappear as soon as you stop using it.
Microdermabrasion:
It is a minimally invasive solution to the problem of colored patches on the skin surface. Microdermabrasion exfoliates the damaged skin to reveal a clearer and smoother one. This option has no side effects so recovery is very quick and simple.
Chemical peel:
A chemical peel provides long-term benefits to sufferers. It contains an acidic solution which when applied to the skin beautifully resurfaces it so, that only after a few sessions, you will see significant improvement in your skin tone and texture.
Laser treatment:
If you have pigmented skin and looking for its treatment, you can try our Laser treatments. In this type of melasma treatment, laser energy is directed to heat the pigmented buildups, intending to generate an even skin tone. The treatment is completely painless and has no side effects so the decision to invest money in it won’t be wrong.
