Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by dark patches or hyperpigmentation, usually on the face. It is often caused by hormonal changes, sun exposure, or genetic factors.

Treatment options for melasma may include topical creams containing ingredients like hydroquinone or retinoids, chemical peels, or laser therapy. The choice of treatment depends on the severity and specific needs of the individual.

The time it takes to see results from melasma treatments can vary depending on the chosen treatment method and individual factors. Improvement may be gradual, and multiple sessions or consistent use of topical treatments may be required for optimal results.

While melasma can be effectively managed and the appearance of dark patches can be reduced, it may not be completely cured. Long-term maintenance and sun protection are crucial in managing melasma and preventing its recurrence.

Melasma treatments offered at reputable medical aesthetic centers, such as NewEra, are generally safe when performed by trained professionals. However, it's important to follow post-treatment instructions and protect your skin from excessive sun exposure to minimize the risk of complications.
