“Over the years, Davis Dermatology has become more of a procedural dermatology practice. Most of the medical conditions we treat are the ones the hospital dermatologists will not because treatment is considered cosmetic.” – Dr. Noll

A Closer Look at Melasma
A Closer Look at Melasma
Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown or grayish patches to appear on the face, usually on the cheeks, forehead, nose, or upper lip. It’s more common in women, often related to hormonal changes during pregnancy or the use of birth control pills. As it darkens easily with sun exposure, many patients seek treatment after recent sun exposure.
One of the biggest misconceptions is that sunscreen alone will prevent the darkening of melasma. While sunscreens protect the skin from skin cancer, slow aging, and pigmentation, they do not completely prevent melasma and other brown spots from getting darker. In addition to a sunscreen that contains zinc or titanium and has a minimum SPF of 30, it is also advised that patients with melasma and other brown spots sun protect with hats, umbrellas, shades, and anything that prevents the sun’s rays from hitting the face. When spending time near water or reflective surfaces like bleachers, it is also advised to wear protective clothing like a face bandana or neck gaiter. Melasma is very sensitive to sun exposure and darkens quickly, Reapplying sunscreen every 2 hours is also recommended.
While there is not currently a cure for melasma, there are several effective treatments that can improve the appearance of melasma and prevent recurrence. We recommend a combined approach when it comes to treating melasma. We recommend chemical peels to lift the visible pigment, PicoGenesis laser treatments to decrease recurrence and prescription and over-the-counter products that help patients see results faster and keep results longer.
Sun exposure can be divided into two categories, intentional and unintentional. Intentional sun exposure is when patients plan on spending extended periods in the sun like going to sporting events or going to the beach. Unintentional sun exposure is the sun exposure that happens from activities of daily living like driving in the car and walking from the car to the building. All of this counts as sun exposure. Notice how the left side of the face, the driving side, in this country, typically has more and darker pigment when compared to the right side of the face. Patients often don’t realize that they must also protect their skin from unintentional sun exposure.
