Your Question: I have large brown patches and spots on my face that I can’t seem to get rid of, I’ve tried all kinds of lightening products and nothing has really helped. Do you have any suggestions?


The Skin Perfectionists Answer: Melasma, a form of hyperpigmentation (also referred to as chloasma (or pregnancy mask, when present in pregnant women) presents itself primarily as relatively solid in pigment, largish tan or darker facial, skin discolourations that are typically seen on the outer perimeter of the face, especially on the forehead. Melasma can exist anywhere on the face & often develops gradually over time. Even though it can affect anyone, melasma is particularly common in women & is thought to have a hormonal component. Although these Melasma patches do not cause any other physical symptoms beyond skin discolourations, they can cause a lot of emotional trauma & loss of esteem to those experiencing it. Typical lightening creams & sunscreens can assist, but offer very little improvement. Newer high tech, customized solutions are needed to get this condition under visible control so that you don't have to keep camouflaging those dark patches any longer. For radiant results you can see guaranteed.


What Causes Melasma and Excess Pigmentation? Excessive unprotected sun exposure, Stimulation of melanocytes, Birth Control Pills & some HRT, Female sex hormones – estrogen & progesterone, Thyroid disease / stress, Addison’s disease (Melasma Suprarenale), Allergic reactions to medications & cosmetics / perfumes, Genetic Predisposition, Living in regions with a lot of sun exposure Effective Treatments For Melasma & Hyperpigmentation.

  • Specific & safe topical depigmenting agents, with intensified vitamins, chirally correct peels, specific alpha hydroxy acids, combined with ultrasounds & specialized penetrating masks along with custom blended at home skin care, have proven to be extremely effective in fading these annoying patches. Specific Light Therapies, Lasers & Radio Frequencies can also be used to greatly improve and reduce pigmentation caused by sun damage.

  • To achieve maximum results, a series of these relaxing treatments, performed in appropriate intervals, will provide you with a progressive & visible reduction in your melasma.

  • Sunlight exposure needs to be strictly avoided with the use of broad-spectrum sunscreens, which have physical blockers, such as titanium dioxide and zinc dioxide. These are preferred over chemical blockers, because UV-A, UV-B, and visible light are all able of stimulate melanin or pigment production, even through the windows of your car.

  • In some instances in order to achieve lasting results, maintenance skin treatments, especially for those with a genetic predisposition or who spend a lot of time in the great outdoors may be necessary.

When necessary, specific cosmetic cover-ups can also be utilized to reduce the appearance of your melasma & increase your confidence. Melasma also seems to be more prevalent in the forearms of men and women of Native American descent and on the face of those of German/Russian or Jewish ancestry. Melasma is usually identified visually or with assistance of a specialized Skin Scope (340 - 400 nm wavelength). Under this Scope, excess melanin in the epidermis can be distinguished from that of the dermis, so that we can determine the best course of treatment for you. All of our skin corrective NAKED SKIN Facials offer you a relaxation component along with great results.
