Schedule AppointmentWhat is Melasma?
Melasma, also referred to as chloasma, occurs when irregular patches of dark skin occur on the face or forearms. These tan or brown patches often occur evenly on the brow, nose, cheeks, or upper lip. The appearance of melasma distinguishes it from other conditions that cause dark patches on the skin. Melasma is a common condition and is found more often in women. It can be due to sun damage or hormonal changes, such as menopause and pregnancy. Those with darker skin types are more inclined to melasma than those who have lighter complexions. Our office treats melasma regularly at Restoration Dermatology in Nashville, TN where we offer numerous treatments that may minimize the visibility of the condition.
What are Treatment Options for Melasma?
There are several possibilities for treating melasma. First, there are a variety of topical ointments, lotions, or gels that may be prescribed to help encourage skin lightening. Second, there are skin care procedures, such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels, or fractional lasers. Another alternative is intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy. Unlike lasers that use intense, concentrated lighting, IPL is intense BroadBand Light™ so the recovery time is brief. Results normally last when the patient implements good sun protection and upkeep.
Restoration Dermatology Reviews
Both me and my wife are getting treatment from Dr.Mishra. Mine is for hyperpigmentation while my wife is getting treated for her acne and both of us have seen visible improvements in our conditions. Dr.Mishra takes time to listen to all our concerns and explains how the medications would work and also suggests all the precautions that need to be taken while under treatment.We have seen other doctors as well before Dr.Mishra but none of their treatments helped us. I would definitely recommend him for your dermatological needs.
