Fade & Restore: Melasma Treatment in Gilbert, AZ

If you’ve noticed dark patches on your face that seem to get worse with sun exposure or hormonal changes, melasma may be the cause. This common skin condition leads to brown or grayish discoloration, typically appearing on the cheeks, forehead, nose, or upper lip. While melasma isn’t harmful, it can be persistent and difficult to treat with over-the-counter products alone. Because it’s often triggered by hormonal shifts, sun exposure, and genetics, effective treatment requires a combination of professional care and long-term skin maintenance. At Tulua Aesthetics and Wellness, we offer targeted solutions to help fade melasma and restore a brighter, more even complexion.

What is Melasma?

Melasma is a type of hyperpigmentation that results in dark patches on the skin, primarily on areas frequently exposed to the sun. Unlike other forms of discoloration, melasma is often linked to hormonal fluctuations, such as pregnancy, birth control use, or thyroid conditions. Sun exposure and heat can worsen the condition, making proper treatment and prevention essential. While melasma can be stubborn, advanced therapies can significantly lighten the pigmentation and improve skin tone over time.

Signs & Symptoms of Melasma

  • Brown or grayish patches on the face, often on the cheeks, forehead, nose, or upper lip.
  • Discoloration that darkens with sun exposure.
  • Melasma that worsens during pregnancy or with hormonal changes.

What Causes Age Spots?

  • Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, birth control pills, and hormone fluctuations can trigger excess melanin production.
  • Sun Exposure: UV rays stimulate pigment-producing cells, making melasma worse.
  • Heat and Inflammation: Excessive heat and skin irritation can increase melanin activity, deepening pigmentation.
  • Genetics: A family history of melasma increases the likelihood of developing this condition.
  • Certain Medications: Some medications, including hormone treatments and photosensitizing drugs, can contribute to melasma.
