Melasma — What It Is, Why It Happens, and How We Treat It at MG Aesthetics | MG Aesthetics

What is Melasma?

Melasma is a very common pigment condition we treat at MG Aesthetics. It appears as brown or grey-brown patches on the skin, most often on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and jawline.

This type of pigmentation can be frustrating because it is triggered by a variety of factors and can be difficult to treat without professional care.

What Causes Melasma?

Melasma is often caused by a combination of factors, including:

  • Sun exposure (UV rays are the leading cause)
  • Heat exposure (such as cooking or hot yoga)
  • Hormonal changes (pregnancy, birth control, hormone therapy)
  • Genetics
  • Skin inflammation or injury
  • Certain medications

Can Melasma Be Cured?

Melasma is considered a chronic skin condition, meaning it cannot be permanently cured. However, it can absolutely be managed and controlled with the right treatment plan, consistent skincare, and sun protection.

How We Treat Melasma at MG Aesthetics

Our approach focuses on a combination of professional treatments and personalized skincare plans.

Step 1 — Moxi Laser (3 Sessions Recommended)

Moxi is a non-invasive laser treatment that targets pigment gently and effectively. It is safe for all skin types and works by stimulating collagen and encouraging skin renewal. We typically recommend a series of three treatments for best results.

Step 2 — Customized Medical-Grade Skincare

Skincare is essential when treating melasma. Your personalized plan may include:

  • Brightening ingredients such as Vitamin C or Tranexamic Acid
  • Retinoids to boost cell turnover
  • Pigment-suppressing products
  • Barrier-repairing skincare
  • Daily broad-spectrum SPF

Step 3 — Long-Term Maintenance

Because melasma is a chronic condition, ongoing care is key. We provide a long-term strategy that includes maintenance skincare, seasonal laser treatments if needed, and guidance on sun protection to help prevent flare-ups.
