WHAT IS IT? WHAT ARE CAUSES/ SYMPTOMS AND/OR SIGNS?

Melasma is a very common patchy brown, tan, or blue-gray facial skin discoloration, usually seen in women in the reproductive years. It typically appears on the upper cheeks, upper lip, forehead, and chin of women 20-50 years of age. It is uncommon in males. It is thought to be primarily related to external sun exposure, external hormones like birth control pills, and internal hormonal changes as seen in pregnancy. Most people with melasma have a history of daily or intermittent sun exposure, although heat is also suspected to be an underlying factor. Melasma is most common among pregnant women, especially those of Latin and Asian descents. People with olive or darker skin, like Hispanic, Asian and Middle Eastern individuals, have higher incidences of Melasma.

Katherine was so attentive to my needs as a first time patient. It was important to me that my questions were respected and answered. She was professional and personable. She was a great listener and she delivered a great anti-wrinkle treatment. I feel really great and I will definitely be returning.
