Melasma

Upper Arlington, OHIO

What Is Melasma?

Melasma is a skin condition characterized by brown or grayish pigmentation on the face, typically around the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip. Often caused by hormonal changes, sun exposure, or pregnancy (known as the “mask of pregnancy”), melasma can cause distress as it alters your natural skin tone. It is more common in women but can affect both genders. While melasma may fade over time, targeted treatments can significantly improve the appearance of your skin and restore a balanced complexion.
