What is Melasma Treatment in Dubai?

Melasma treatment is a procedure that uproots the pigmentation on the face. Melasma is a chronic skin condition. The visible sign is dark/discoloured patches on the skin. This condition is not harmful but causes discomfort and a loss of self-confidence. Hormonal changes and genetics play their role in the outbreak of melasma. It is common in women and is known as the “Mask of Pregnancy”. The areas wherein it occurs are the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. The Dynamic Life Clinics offers both procedural treatments and topical medications. However, procedural treatments are an ideal option for optimal results. Let’s begin your melasma therapy journey.

Expert dermatologists make a detailed skin assessment. They devise a plan for the most effective topical treatments. The specialists unveil a personalised plan to work the best at this step.

• Step 2, Skin prep: 

Specialists prepare your skin by strengthening the skin barrier. The dermatologists prescribe melanin-regulating topical creams to the patients. Diverse topical creams, such as kojic acid, azelaic acid, or hydroquinone, are selected.

• Step 3, Active Procedure: 

The phase begins for advanced techniques of significant improvements. Three types of treatments are followed. Laser therapy is used to treat melanin in deeper layers. Chemical peels target the surface layer and remove pigmentation. Microneedling is used to treat stubborn cases by stimulating healing.

The fourth stage begins after the active procedure. The surgeons devise instructions by signifying soothing treatments. So, cooling gels are used to subdue redness and sensitivity. The procedure has minimal downtime, allowing the patients to return home immediately.
