melasma
Our team of Dermatologists and medically trained specialists have helped thousands of patients reduce or eliminate the discoloured patches caused by Melasma.
Melasma is a skin pigmentation disorder that develops over a period of years and is identified as brown and gray spots appearing on the forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, or the upper lip. People who suffer from these unsightly patches often experience issues with self-confidence, self-esteem, and embarrassment.
The exact cause of Melasma is unknown, however, it seems to e triggered by exposure to the sun, hormonal changes, and a reaction to soaps, creams, and some topical medications.
At Derm.ca Laser & Esthetics, our
team of Dermatologists and medically trained specialists have helped thousands of patients reduce or eliminate the hideous patches caused by Melasma with a number of cutting-edge procedures.
What Causes Melasma?
Although the exact cause in not entirely known, it is apparent that the cells which provide colour to the skin called melanoytes, produce more than is required.
However, we do know that there are certain triggers which contribute to the appearance of melasma which includes:
- Exposure to the sun
- Hormonal changes as with pregnant women
- Low-quality skincare products
Whatever the cause, the team at Derm.ca has a high level of success in helping women and men fade or eliminate melasma.

About Melasma
Melasma is a skin condition that is much more prevalent in women than men. Although some individuals who have lighter skin can have the presence of melasma, it is much more prominent in those with darker skin. Additionally, people who have close relatives who suffer from melasma, have a higher probability of getting melasma themselves.
Melasma is initially identified by the appearance of gray or brown patches, typically on areas of the body which are exposed to the sun. Because melasma can resemble other skin conditions, a Dermatologist may have to perform a small skin biopsy in order to rule out other skin conditions.

Thank you Dr. Alanen.”
