Did you know that Melasma is induced by hormones found in pregnancy and certain birth control pills paired with UVA exposure? Melasma is a pretty common skin condition which causes brown to gray-brown patches on the face. Most people get it on their cheeks, bridge of their nose, forehead, chin, and above their upper lip. It also can appear on other parts of the body that get lots of sun, such as the forearms and neck.
Revolutionary Treatment
A common treatment for Melasama is sun protection such as wearing sunscreen daily or wide brimmed hats. However, if you want quick results, we here at Ringpfeil Advanced Dermatology, have a revolutionary solution – Melanage! A Malanage peel can significantly reduce the pigmentation after only one treatment. The key in maintaining these results over time is to meticulously follow a post procedure skin care regimen for life, meaning, the daily use of sunscreen! UVA rays travel through anything including your car windows, so sunscreen must be applied daily regardless of the season or weather conditions. When looking for a good protective sunscreen, you want to find a product that contains zinc or titanium dioxide because they will offer your skin the best protection.
