Melasma

Melasma melasma, also known as "pregnancy mask,", is a form of hyperpigmentation that mainly affects women. It appears as irregular brown patches, often located on the forehead, cheeks, upper lip, and chin. This condition is exacerbated by hormonal factors and sun exposure, which can alter the evenness of the complexion and give the skin an uneven appearance.

Our solutions

At Phenicia Medical Spa, we offer innovative treatments to reduce pigmentation spots and restore an even complexion. Our solutions directly target excess melanin and stimulate cell renewal for brighter, more even skin.

Our treatments for pigment spots

  • LaseMD: This latest generation fractional laser directly targets excess melanin, which is responsible for brown spots. By stimulating cell renewal and the production of collagen, it helps tolighten spots and improve skin texture and radiance of the skin.
  • Dermamelan Peel : This depigmenting peel acts in depth to reduce persistent brown spots. Thanks to a complex of powerful depigmenting agents, it regulates the production of melanin and evens out the complexion while preventing recurrence.
  • Chemical peeling: Thanks to the action of exfoliating acids (AHA, BHA, TCA), the peel acts deeply to remove pigmented cells and promote rapid skin regeneration. It is particularly effective for melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and sun spots.

At Phenicia Medical Spa, we adapt our protocols to offer personalized solutions, guaranteeing effective reduction of pigmentation spots and a radiant and even complexion.

The manifestations of melasma

  • Diffuse pigment spots : symmetrical brownish areas appear mainly on exposed parts of the face.
  • Worsening with sun exposure : UV rays stimulate melanin production, accentuating existing spots.
  • Frequent recurrence : even after treatment, melasma can reappear due to hormones or sun exposure.

At Phenicia Medical Spa, we understand the impact of melasma on the harmony of your complexion. Our aesthetic medicine experts offer tailored solutions to reduce these spots and restore your skin's natural radiance.

The causes of melasma

Melasma melasma is caused by an overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. Several factors can trigger or aggravate this hyperpigmentation:

  • Hormones : Hormonal changes, particularly during pregnancy, when taking oral contraceptives, or during hormone therapy, promote the onset of melasma.
  • Sun exposure : UV rays directly stimulate melanocytes (cells responsible for melanin production), accentuating pigment spots.
  • Genetic predisposition : Some people have more reactive skin that is predisposed to melasma, particularly those with intermediate to dark skin types.
  • Skin inflammation : certain types of skin damage (unsuitable peels, poorly adjusted lasers, rubbing) can cause reactive hyperpigmentation.

At Phenicia Medical Spa, we understand the mechanisms of melasma and offer tailored solutions to even out skin tone and visibly reduce dark spots.
