There are three types of melasma, depending on the depth of the pigment. Our dermatologists can typically diagnose melasma just by looking at your skin. In some cases, we may use a Wood’s lamp to assess how deeply the pigmentation extends. If needed, a small skin biopsy can rule out other conditions.A Wood’s lamp that emits black light may be used to determine the depth of the pigment.
The three types are:
Epidermal: Epidermal melasma has a dark brown color, a well-defined border, appears obvious under black light, and sometimes responds well to treatment.
Dermal: Dermal melasma has a light brown or bluish color, a blurry border, appears no differently under black light and doesn’t respond well to treatment.
Mixed melasma: Mixed melasma, which is the most common of the three, has both bluish and brown patches, shows a mixed pattern under black light, and shows some response to treatment.
Pigment spots such asage spots(which are also known as sun spots) are caused by sun exposure. For this reason, they appear mainly on body parts that are frequently exposed such as the face, neck, décolleté, hands and arms. They tend to be small, darkened patches of skin.

Several factors contribute to melasma, including:
Topical Treatments
Skin-Lightening Creams: Hydroquinone, retinoids, and vitamin C serums help reduce pigmentation.
Gentle Exfoliants: Encourage new skin cell growth and improve texture.
Chemical Peels
During this procedure, your doctor applies a chemical solution to the melasma. This can help remove excess pigment.
Glycolic Acid Peel: Gently exfoliates and brightens the skin.
TCA Peel: Targets deeper pigmentation for more stubborn melasma.
Salicylic Acid Peel: Great for oily or acne-prone skin.
Laser Therapy
A few studies have found that adding a laser or light treatment can improve results for patients who are already applying medication to their skin and protecting their skin from the sun.
Laser and light treatments:
Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser: Breaks down pigmentation safely and effectively.
Fractional CO2 Laser: Stimulates collagen and improves skin tone.
IPL Therapy: Targets melanin to enhance skin clarity.
Microneedling with PRP
This minimally invasive procedure creates microscopic tears in your skin. As the skin heals, it tends to have a more even skin tone. This innovative treatment boosts collagen production and evens out pigmentation naturally.
Platelet-rich plasma: This procedure involves taking a small amount of your blood, placing the blood into a machine that separates the blood into layers, and then injecting the layer of blood known as plasma into the skin with melasma. This can help even your skin tone.
Sun Protection & Skincare
Protecting your skin from the sun is key to managing melasma. We recommend a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen along with a personalized skincare routine to maintain your results.
