Melasma is a very common skin problem that causes brown or grayish patches to appear, typically on the face. Many get the spots on their cheeks, nose, forehead, chin, and above the upper lip. Other parts of the body that get lots of sun, such as the forearms and neck, are also common sites of melasma. Sun exposure is indeed the main cause of melasma, as sun-damaged skin can present in many unpredictable ways, including sun spots, freckles, brown spots, age spots, redness, uneven skin tone, roughened skin texture, lines and wrinkles, sagging, or even lesions. But hormones may also be a factor in triggering some cases—it is very common among pregnant women. The good news is at SpaMedica in Toronto, you have viable options when it comes to treating even the most stubbornly discoloured skin.
Melasma is a skin condition that presents as blotchy facial pigment or dark patches commonly found on the face. This uneven pigmentation can affect various skin tones, though it’s especially prevalent in darker skin tones due to the high concentration of skin pigments. Often triggered by UV rays and hormonal changes, melasma tends to be more common among women and individuals with darker skin who absorb sunlight more readily.
Melasma treatments are suited for individuals dealing with unwanted pigment and dark patches on the skin due to sun damage or hormonal factors. SpaMedica offers comprehensive melasma treatment options that cater to various skin types and skin tones, ensuring effective results and the safe restoration of an even skin tone.
