Melasma Treatment and Skin Brightening in Regina, Canada

What Is Melasma?

Melasma is a common skin condition that causes dark, discolored patches on the face, usually on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. It is triggered by hormonal changes, sun exposure, and heat, making it especially common in pregnant women or those using hormonal contraceptives. While melasma is not harmful, it can be stubborn and difficult to fade without targeted treatments. Effective skincare and professional treatments can help restore a more even, radiant complexion.

What Are the Causes of Melasma?

Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, birth control pills, and hormone therapies can trigger melasma.
Sun Exposure: UV rays stimulate melanin production, making dark patches more pronounced.
Heat and Inflammation: Excess heat can worsen melasma by triggering pigment-producing cells.
Genetics: A family history of melasma increases the risk.
Skincare and Cosmetics: Some products may cause irritation or photosensitivity, leading to pigmentation.
Underlying Medical Conditions: Thyroid disorders can sometimes contribute to melasma.
