Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown or grayish-brown patches on the face, most commonly on the cheeks, forehead, nose, upper lip, and chin. While it is harmless, melasma can affect self-confidence and often becomes more noticeable with sun exposure, hormonal changes, pregnancy, or certain medications.
At Lush Skin & Hair Clinic, we offer personalized melasma treatment plans designed to reduce pigmentation safely, improve skin tone, and help prevent recurrence. Our experienced dermatology team combines advanced technology with medical expertise to deliver effective, long-lasting results.
What Causes Melasma?
Melasma develops due to excessive production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. Common triggers include:
Excessive sun exposure
Hormonal changes during pregnancy or due to oral contraceptives
Genetic predisposition
Thyroid disorders
Certain medications
Heat and visible light exposure
Understanding the underlying cause is essential for successful treatment and long-term management.
Our Approach to Melasma Treatment
Every patient's skin is unique. At Lush Skin & Hair Clinic, we begin with a detailed skin assessment to determine the depth, severity, and type of pigmentation before creating a customized treatment plan.
Medical-Grade Topical Therapy
Prescription creams and scientifically proven depigmenting agents help reduce excess melanin production and gradually lighten dark patches.
Advanced Chemical Peels
Superficial chemical peels gently exfoliate pigmented skin, promote cell renewal, and enhance the effectiveness of topical medications while improving overall skin texture.
Laser and Energy-Based Treatments
For suitable candidates, advanced laser technologies may be recommended to target stubborn pigmentation with precision. Treatments are performed only after careful evaluation to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.
Skin Brightening Procedures
Specialized dermatologist-supervised procedures help improve skin clarity, restore radiance, and complement medical treatment for better overall results.
Sun Protection and Maintenance
Daily sunscreen is one of the most important aspects of melasma management. We educate every patient on proper sun protection and provide a maintenance plan to minimize recurrence.

What to Expect
Melasma is a chronic condition that requires patience and consistent care. Most patients begin to notice gradual improvement over several weeks, with continued enhancement as treatment progresses. Regular follow-up appointments help monitor progress and adjust the treatment plan when needed.
Tips to Prevent Melasma from Returning
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50 or higher) every day.
Reapply sunscreen every 2–3 hours when outdoors.
Wear a wide-brimmed hat and protective clothing.
Avoid prolonged sun exposure, especially during peak hours.
Follow your dermatologist's maintenance skincare routine.
Avoid using harsh or unverified skin-lightening products.
