Understanding Melasma: Why It Requires Medical Treatment
Melasma is a chronic, relapsing condition characterized by brown or gray-brown patches on sun-exposed areas, particularly the face. Unlike simple sun spots, melasma involves deeper dermal pigment that over-the-counter products cannot address effectively.
Hormonal Triggers
Pregnancy, birth control pills, and hormone therapy stimulate melanocyte activity, making melasma particularly stubborn in women.
UV & Heat Activation
Sunlight, infrared heat, and even blue light from screens can trigger melanin overproduction in melasma-prone skin.
Deep Dermal Pigment
Melasma often affects the dermis (deep skin layer), requiring medical-grade treatments that penetrate beyond the surface.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, melasma is a chronic condition that requires long-term management and professional treatment for optimal results.

Facial for Melasma Palm Beach County: FAQ
Our facial for melasma Palm Beach County treatments are medical-grade and physician-supervised. We use 20-30% active ingredients (vs. 2-5% in spas), prescription topicals like hydroquinone and tretinoin, and advanced laser technology. Melasma affects the deep dermis, requiring medical intervention that spa facials cannot provide.
Most patients require 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. During your initial consultation, Dr. Clerveus will use VISIA analysis to determine your melasma type (epidermal, dermal, or mixed) and create a customized treatment timeline.
Yes. We specialize in treating melasma in Fitzpatrick skin types IV-VI (darker skin tones). Our protocols use low-energy laser settings, gentle peel concentrations, and pre-treatment preparation to minimize the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
Melasma is a chronic, relapsing condition that can be managed effectively but rarely cured permanently. Our goal is significant improvement (typically 50-80% reduction) followed by maintenance treatments and strict sun protection to prevent recurrence.
Daily broad-spectrum SPF 50+ with iron oxides is non-negotiable. We also prescribe medical-grade topicals containing tranexamic acid, tretinoin, or azelaic acid for maintenance. Avoiding heat sources (saunas, hot yoga) and hormonal triggers when possible also helps prevent relapse.
