What is Melasma?

Melasma is fairly common with women and clients with darker skin, and often appears as dark patches of pigment on the face. Melanin can start to overproduce due to hormonal changes or skin damage resulting in patches of darker pigment on skin.

Common Area Affected

Melasma usually appears on the face, but can also develop on the arms or neck.

Can Be Confused With:

• Sunspots & Freckles

• Seborrheic Keratosis

• Hyperpigmentation & Hypopigmentation

Please Note: It is important to speak with your medical provider or dermatologist first regarding any bump, lesion, or other unknown issue on the skin to rule out more serious skin conditions.
