Melasma treatment in Dubai

Melasma treatment in Dubai at Skin & Laser Dubai
Quick answerMelasma is patchy brown pigmentation on the cheeks, forehead or upper lip, driven by hormones, heat and sun. It can be controlled but tends to return, so treatment combines strict sun protection, prescription or professional skincare, peels such as the Miami peel and, for some people, gentle low-energy laser. Strong heat-based treatments can make it worse, so a doctor's assessment comes first.

Why melasma is different

Unlike sun spots, melasma pigment is reactive. Heat, sun and inflammation can trigger it again, which is why aggressive laser can lead to rebound darkening.
