About Melasma

Melasma creates symmetrical brown or grey-brown patches — typically on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and chin. Hormones (pregnancy, birth control), sun exposure, and genetics drive this stubborn condition.

Melasma requires a different approach than other pigmentation. Aggressive treatments can worsen it. We use carefully calibrated peels and pigment-inhibiting protocols that brighten gradually without triggering rebound darkening. Using Hollywood Spectra, Cutera Excel V+, we deliver precise, measurable improvement.
