Fade Stubborn Pigmentation and Regain Even, Healthy-Looking Skin
Melasma is more than a cosmetic concern — it’s a chronic skin condition that can be frustrating, unpredictable, and emotionally exhausting. If you’re struggling with patches of discoloration that seem to darken with the sun or flare up with stress or hormones, we’re here to help with a personalized, gentle, and effective approach.
Lets Talk about melasma
Melasma typically appears as blotchy, uneven patches of pigmentation on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, or jawline. It’s more common in women, especially during hormonal shifts like pregnancy or while taking birth control — but it can affect anyone. Unlike typical sun spots, melasma can be deep and persistent, often resistant to basic skincare or over-the-counter treatments.

What Causes Melasma?List Item 1
Melasma is triggered by a combination of sun exposure, heat, hormones, and inflammation. It occurs when melanocytes (the pigment-producing cells in your skin) become overactive and produce excess pigment in response to triggers. It’s especially common in medium to deeper skin tones and can worsen with the wrong treatments or products — which is why a professional approach is key.

How We Can HelpList Item 2
At About Face Aesthetics & Wellness, we take a careful, layered approach to treating melasma. Because melasma is chronic and highly reactive, our focus is on reducing inflammation, fading existing pigment safely, and strengthening your skin’s natural defenses against future flare-ups. Your plan will be based on your skin tone, history, and triggers — not just your symptoms.
