Melasma is a common yet challenging form of pigmentation that appears as symmetrical brown or grey-brown patches across the face, often creating a butterfly-shaped pattern over the cheeks and bridge of the nose. It may also affect the forehead, upper lip and chin. Most commonly seen in women with Fitzpatrick skin types III and above, melasma is strongly linked to hormonal changes, UV exposure, heat and inflammation.
Unlike sunspots, melasma cannot simply be “lasered away.” Treating it too aggressively can trigger more inflammation and make the pigmentation darker. At Beautyologist, our experienced Dermal Therapists understand the hormonal and inflammatory triggers behind melasma. We take a slow, strategic and personalised approach using Dermapen 4 Skin Needling, clinical peels, advanced pigment-correcting skincare and skin barrier repair to safely brighten the skin while reducing the risk of recurrence. If you’re searching for Melasma Treatment Melbourne, Beautyologist provides evidence-informed care with over 20 years of clinical skin expertise.
