The sun’s ultraviolet light is the leading cause of premature ageing. Numerous people have been suffering from pigmentation for years and had tried multiple creams with no resolve.
Patients’ quality of life is severely impacted by chronic facial pigmentation. When the upper lip is affected, I frequently hear people say they are asked “why do they have a mustache” or “your face looks dirty” by well-meaning observers. Treating pigmentation, particularly melasma, can be difficult, and it is critical that patients follow the prescribed protocol for successful results.
Melasma is a skin condition that appears as brown or blue-gray patches or freckle-like spots on the skin. It’s often referred to as the “pregnancy mask.” Melasma is caused by an overproduction of the cells that give your skin its colour.
Melasma is characterised by discoloured patches. The patches are darker than the rest of your skin. It usually appears on the face and is symmetrical, with matching marks on both sides. Melasma can develop on other parts of your body that are frequently exposed to sunlight.
So what can you do to treat melasma? Chemical peels have significant benefits for treating melasma. Peeling is a versatile procedure that can range from superficial to deep. Azelaic acid’s disinfectant and anti-melanin properties help to reduce melasma in people. Azelaic acid inhibits hyperactive melanocytes while sparing functional melanocytes.
Sun protection is essential for avoiding pigmentation and preserving treatment results. When the sun damages pigment-producing cells, pigment production becomes unbalanced, and pigmentation appears on the skin’s surface. The damage accumulates over a patient’s lifetime. Inflammation, chronological ageing, melasma, and sun damage = pigmentation that worsens over time.
