Melasma manifests as blotchy, dark patches on the forehead, cheeks, and nose which are triggered by a combination of hormones, light, and heat exposure. The chronic condition can flare up after spending the afternoon in the sun, following a workout & Many reasons that are difficult to trace. Melasma usually fades after a few months.
Melasma appears most commonly on your nose, cheeks, chin, above the upper lip, and the forehead. It sometimes affects your neck, arms, and back. In fact, melasma can affect any part of your skin that is aggravated by sunlight. That’s why many people with melasma notice that their symptoms worsen during the summer months.
There are three types of melasma and they have to do with the depth of the pigment.
Melasma Treatments that often work to assuage discoloration - such as certain lasers -tend to worsen melasma because the heat generated by the procedure can stimulate the formation of additional pigment in the weeks after Melasma treatment. That’s why Our BEst dermatologist Dr.Sai Sandeepthi confronted melasma with gentle chemical peels and, more recently, microneedling procedures combined with creams that help fade the dark patches.
The condition is notoriously Very difficult to treat for several reasons. Melasma is often present both on the skin’s surface (the epidermis) and deep skin layers. as well, so many factors can trigger melasma flare-ups that it’s difficult for patients to avoid all of them. Even if you are strict about avoiding direct sunlight, fluctuating hormone levels can cause recurring issues with melasma.
Microneedling without heat energy is a mechanical treatment that creates micro-channels in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural response to repair tiny wounds. These controlled punctures penetrate to the skin’s dermis, which other treatments such as chemical peels leave untouched.
Microneedling’s popularity as a skin rejuvenation procedure stems from its ability to stimulate the production of new collagen. What’s more, the micro-channels efficiently absorb nourishing serums that enhance the skin’s appearance. This ability to funnel medications directly through these channels to treat melasma is what sets it apart from other procedures used to minimize the condition.
Those medications include highly concentrated prescription agents, including tranexamic acid (TXA), glutathione, vitamin C, and niacinamide. Tranexamic acid, a synthetic version of an essential amino acid, shows particular promise as a melasma treatment because recent studies show it may prevent dark spots from emerging in the first place.
Treating melasma with microneedling is only effective if you have a qualified, skilled provider who has experience performing microneedling procedures. These treatments are highly customizable and determine the depth of penetration and the amount of pressure to use, along with understanding the unique nature of each patient’s skin.
