    Melasma Treatment Information

    Melasma can be challenging to manage, and treatment effectiveness varies. Some skincare options, like Hydroquinone cream and Microdermabrasion, mainly target the top layer of pigment cells. It’s important to discuss with a healthcare professional to understand the best approach for your specific condition”.  Additionally, when you stop these treatments, the problem comes back Laser treatments are at a high risk of making Melasma worse, particularly if too much heat is delivered. In some cases, Laser Treatments can help but the effect is mild. Fraxel Laser only treats a fraction of the problem, and chemical peels can only treat superficial layers. A newer approach involves the use of Tranexamic Acid. While the exact mechanism of action is still being studied, this treatment has shown promise in managing Melasma. However, it’s important to note that results can vary, and complete removal of Melasma is not guaranteed.

    This treatment typically involves small injections into the dermal layer of the skin. The level of discomfort can vary among individuals, and it’s important to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider. Melasma treatment prices vary depending on your overall situation and expectations.

    • Price starts from $150 per treatment
    • Initial consultation is between $120, redeemable upon treatment

    Your initial Melasma consultation and subsequent procedure can be undertaken at one of our cosmetic clinics in Australia. This includes our practices in Sydney, Canberra, Adelaide and the Gold Coast.

    What is Melasma?

    Melasma is patchy discolouration and hyperpigmentation that occurs on the face, usually in a symmetrical fashion. The areas most commonly affected by this skin disorder include the forehead, cheeks and upper lip. With this condition, the pigment cells on the basal layer (of your skin) “go crazy”. The exact cause is unknown but the condition is associated with sun exposure and pregnancy (i.e. hormonal changes).

    Melasma Example

    Who is prone to pigmentation?

    Unfortunately, you can’t tell in advance if you will get Melasma – although, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, if someone in your family had it, you have a 30% chance of developing it. In general, Melasma occurs in 50 -70% of pregnant women and 5 – 34% of women taking oral contraceptive. The condition usually strikes women between the ages of 20 – 39. Melasma is more common in dark-skinned people, and is worsened if the skin is exposed to the sun. Solar lentigo is a skin condition caused by chronic UV exposure. Although post inflammatory hyperpigmentation can occur in all skin types, it is more common in people of darker skin types and Asians.
