Melasma Treatment at MODA Medical Aesthetics

At MODA Medical Aesthetics, we are dedicated to helping you achieve a brighter, more even complexion. Our tailored treatments effectively address melasma and restore your skin’s natural glow.

What is Melasma?

Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by patches of brown or grey-brown discoloration, appearing several shades darker than your natural skin tone. These patches are often flat and freckle-like, typically found on the forehead, cheeks, bridge of the nose, and upper lip. Melasma is more prevalent in women than in men and can significantly impact selfconfidence.

What Causes Melasma?

The exact cause of melasma remains unknown, but several factors are known to contribute to its development and recurrence, including:
• Hormonal Changes: Often triggered by pregnancy (referred to as the “mask of pregnancy”) or hormonal medications.
• UV Exposure: Sunlight is a significant factor in melasma flare-ups.
• Genetics: A family history of melasma can increase your likelihood of developing it.
• Medications: Certain drugs can make the skin more prone to discoloration.

Treatment Options

Medical-Grade Skincare

Proper medical-grade skincare is often the first step in managing melasma. We recommend topical products like:
• Hydroquinone: A gold standard for lightening pigmentation.
• Retinol: Enhances cell turnover to reduce discoloration.
• Vitamin C: Provides antioxidant protection and brightens the skin.

Our trained staff will work with you to customize a skincare regimen tailored to your needs. Prescription-strength topical treatments can also be provided for more persistent melasma.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are an effective way to address melasma by resurfacing the skin and removing the outermost layer where the pigment resides. Ingredients such as AHA’s, glycolic acid, and salicylic acid promote cell turnover, improve skin texture, and lighten pigmentation.

SylfirmX RF Microneedling

SylfirmX is a cutting-edge RF microneedling device designed to target melasma at its source. By breaking down abnormal pigment deposits at the skin’s basement membrane, SylfirmX improves discoloration without damaging surrounding tissue. This treatment also promotes the production of healthy skin, enhancing overall tone and texture.

SkinPen Microneedling

SkinPen is an advanced microneedling treatment that stimulates the skin’s natural repair process. By creating controlled micro-injuries, SkinPen promotes collagen production, improves skin texture, and reduces the appearance of melasma. This minimally invasive option is effective for enhancing overall skin tone and clarity.
