03 · Plan

Gradual approach

A gentle and steady treatment plan is designed, emphasizing photoprotection and maintenance.

Gentle correction

Melasma does not require aggressive management.

The treatment of melasma requires patience, consistency, and the avoidance of irritation. The goal is not immediate overcorrection, but gradual improvement and the reduction of recurrences.

Step 01

Phototype evaluation

Assessment of skin type and the likelihood of irritation or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Step 02

Treatment selection

Combination of topical treatment, chemical peels, or other therapies where indicated.

Step 03

Maintenance

Consistent photoprotection and care instructions to reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

Photoprotection first

Photoprotection is the most important part of the treatment.

Even the best treatment can fail if there is no daily and proper protection from ultraviolet radiation and visible light.

Improvement is gradual and requires consistency. The result depends on the type of melasma, phototype, and compliance with instructions.
