Melasma: Consultation, Treatment & Follow-Up
 
 
 
🩺 
Initial Consultation
 
 
During your first visit, our skincare specialist will:
 
Assess your skin type, pigmentation pattern, and medical history
Identify the triggers (e.g., sun exposure, hormones, heat, medications)
Discuss current skincare routine and previous treatments
Use a Wood’s lamp or digital imaging (if applicable) to evaluate pigment depth
 
 
🔍 Goal: To create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific type of melasma (epidermal, dermal, or mixed).

Treatment Options
 
 
Our melasma treatment plans are customized and may include:
 
 
1. 
Topical Therapy
 
 
Prescription creams containing hydroquinone, retinoids, azelaic acid, or tranexamic acid
Brightening and barrier-repairing serums (vitamin C, niacinamide, peptides)
Medical-grade sunscreens (broad-spectrum, SPF 50+ with iron oxide)

Follow-Up Care
 
 
Regular follow-ups are essential to monitor progress and prevent recurrence.
 
1st follow-up: 3–4 weeks after initial treatment
Ongoing: Monthly or bi-monthly based on response
Adjustments to skincare and treatment frequency will be made based on skin response and seasonal changes
 
 
 
 
 
✅ 
Maintenance
 
 
Consistent use of sun protection, even indoors
Avoiding triggers like heat, over-exfoliation, and unverified skin products
Maintenance peels or light treatments every 3–6 months as needed
 
 
 
 
 
⚠️ Important Reminders:
 
Patience is key—results may take 6–12 weeks or longer
Skipping sunscreen or using harsh products can worsen melasma
A combination approach is usually more effective than a single treatment
