Best Melasma Treatments
Hyperpigmentation/Melasma Awareness Month
Melasma is a common skin condition that manifests as brown or gray-brown patches on the face, particularly on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. Although it can affect anyone, it is more prevalent in women, especially those with darker skin tones. Understanding melasma, its causes, signs, prevention, and available treatments can help you manage and mitigate its effects. Here, we highlight the best melasma treatments to ensure your skin stays clear and radiant.
What is Melasma?
Melasma, also known as chloasma or “mask of pregnancy,” occurs when melanocytes (the pigment-producing cells in the skin) become overactive, producing excess melanin. This results in dark patches on the skin, typically appearing symmetrically on the face.
Signs of Melasma
The primary sign of melasma is the appearance of discolored patches on the skin. These patches can vary in color from light brown to dark brown and gray-brown and often appear in the following areas:
- Cheeks
- Forehead
- Bridge of the nose
- Upper lip
- Chin
In some cases, melasma may also appear on other parts of the body exposed to the sun, such as the neck and forearms.
Causes of Melasma
Several factors can trigger melasma, including:
- Sun Exposure: Ultraviolet (UV) light stimulates melanocytes, causing an increase in melanin production.
- Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, birth control pills, and hormone replacement therapy can trigger melasma due to increased levels of estrogen and progesterone.
- Genetics: A family history of melasma increases your risk of developing the condition.
- Skincare Products: Certain skincare products can irritate the skin and exacerbate melasma.
- Medications: Some medications, including those that make the skin more sensitive to sunlight, can contribute to melasma.
Prevention of Melasma
Preventing melasma involves taking proactive steps to protect your skin. At Revivify Medical Spa, we offer a range of EltaMD Skin Care products designed to help you prevent and manage melasma effectively:
- Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher daily, even on cloudy days. EltaMD Skin Care products provide superior protection against UVA and UVB rays, helping to prevent the stimulation of melanocytes and the production of excess melanin. Reapply every two hours and wear protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses when outdoors.
- Non-Comedogenic Formulas: EltaMD sunscreens are non-comedogenic, ensuring they won’t clog pores or cause breakouts, making them ideal for daily use on all skin types.
- Hydrating and Soothing: These products are formulated to hydrate and soothe the skin, providing additional benefits for those with sensitive skin or existing pigmentation issues.

Microneedling is a versatile treatment suitable for all skin types. It involves creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production and promote the absorption of topical treatments. This helps reduce pigmentation and improve skin texture.
The VI Peel is a chemical peel that can treat melasma by exfoliating the top layers of skin and promoting cell turnover. This peel contains a blend of powerful ingredients that work together to lighten hyperpigmentation and improve skin clarity.
