What is the best treatment for melasma?
There is no single cure for melasma, but a combination of approaches – such as picosecond laser, topical brighteners, and strict sun protection – often produces the best, most lasting improvement.
Can laser treatment remove melasma permanently?
Laser can significantly lighten melasma, but because it is influenced by hormones and sun exposure, it can return. Ongoing maintenance and daily SPF help keep it under control.
What triggers melasma to get worse?
Common triggers include sun exposure, heat, hormonal changes such as pregnancy or birth control, and certain skincare irritants.
How long does it take to see results for melasma?
Many people see gradual improvement over a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, combined with a consistent home-care routine.
Does melasma go away on its own?
Melasma related to pregnancy sometimes fades after hormones stabilize, but most cases benefit from a targeted treatment plan and sun protection.
Is sunscreen important for melasma?
Yes. Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is one of the most important steps for both treating and preventing melasma from returning.
