Best treatment for Melasma disease:
Noticed some dark or brownish patches on your face—like on your cheeks, nose, forehead, or upper lip? You might be dealing with melasma. It’s a common skin condition, and although it’s not harmful, it can really affect how you feel about your appearance.
What is Melasma?
Melasma is when certain parts of your face develop dark patches, usually in a symmetrical pattern on both sides. It’s more common in women, especially during pregnancy or while using birth control pills—that’s why some people call it “the mask of pregnancy.”
Melasma Treatment Options at Ferdows Medical Center
Every skin is different, so we make a custom treatment plan just for you. Here’s what we might suggest:
1. Creams and Topical Treatments
We may prescribe special creams that include ingredients like:
-
Hydroquinone, retinoids, or mild steroids
-
Combination creams for better and faster results
2. Chemical Peels
These gently remove the top layer of your skin to help fade the dark spots.
3. Laser or Light Treatments
We use advanced options like
-
Fractional laser
-
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
These target deeper pigmentation and are done by skilled professionals at our clinic.
4. Microneedling
This boosts collagen and helps your skin absorb brightening serums better.
5. Sun Protection Advice
Melasma can come back if you don’t protect your skin. We’ll help you choose the right sunscreen and skincare routine to keep it away.
What Does Melasma Look Like?
Here are the signs to watch for:
-
Brown or gray-brown patches on the cheeks, forehead, nose, chin, or above your lips
-
The spots might get darker when you’re out in the sun
-
Usually shows up on both sides of the face in the same spots
It’s not painful or dangerous, but it can affect your confidence. If you’re not sure what’s going on, just come in and we’ll take a look.
How Do We Diagnose It?
When you visit Ferdows Medical Center, we start with a full skin check-up and talk through your skin history. We might use
-
Visual examination—just looking at your skin
-
Wood’s lamp—a special light to check how deep the pigment goes
-
Dermatoscope—if needed, for a closer view
Knowing how deep the pigment is helps us choose the best treatment for you.
