It commonly affects women, particularly those of Southeast Asian descent and individuals living in tropical climates like Singapore. While it often appears during pregnancy\u2014hence the nickname \u201cmask of pregnancy\u201d\u2014melasma can also affect non-pregnant women and, less commonly, men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The condition typically begins as faint discoloration that gradually darkens over time. Patches may vary in size and distribution, and while some may fade post-pregnancy, others persist and require medical intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Causes Melasma?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The underlying causes of melasma are complex and involve both internal and external factors. Common contributors include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hormonal fluctuations<\/strong>, such as those during pregnancy, hormone therapy, or the use of oral contraceptives.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sun exposure<\/strong>, which stimulates melanocyte activity, leading to increased melanin production.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Genetics<\/strong>, with a family history of melasma increasing susceptibility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Skincare products<\/strong> that irritate or damage the skin, potentially triggering pigment overproduction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stress<\/strong>, which may influence hormonal balance and skin responses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who Is at Risk?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may be more prone to melasma if you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Are pregnant or undergoing hormone therapy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take birth control pills<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have darker skin tones<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frequently expose your skin to sunlight<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use cosmetic products that cause irritation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Treatment Options for Melasma<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several non-invasive treatments available to help lighten melasma and even out skin tone. A consultation with a medical doctor is necessary to determine the most suitable approach based on the depth and type of pigmentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1.&nbsp; Yellow Laser Laser-Based Pigment Reduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach involves the use of light-based energy to break down excess melanin in the skin. Specific wavelengths target pigment while sparing the surrounding tissue, making it suitable for patients with darker skin tones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How It Works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Delivers precise light energy to melanin-rich areas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Helps reduce pigment production by targeting both melanin and underlying blood vessels that support melanocyte activity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stimulates collagen renewal and skin regeneration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Expected Results:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Progressive lightening of melasma patches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Typically requires multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minimal downtime, with mild temporary redness or sensitivity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Picosecond PICO Laser Technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Picosecond (PICO) lasers emit ultra-short pulses to break pigment particles into smaller fragments, allowing the body to clear them naturally. The shorter pulse duration reduces heat buildup, minimising the risk of skin damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How It Works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>High-speed pulses shatter pigment clusters without harming nearby tissues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ideal for stubborn or dermal pigmentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can be used in combination with other modalities for deeper melasma types<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Suitable for Asian skin types<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Less discomfort and fewer sessions compared to traditional lasers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Little to no downtime<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Combination Therapy and Individualised Plans<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For optimal results, laser treatments are often combined with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Topical lightening agents (prescribed by doctors)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sun protection measures, including daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lifestyle adjustments such as avoiding known triggers (e.g., heat, friction, hormonal medications)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What to Expect<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Procedure Duration<\/strong>: Sessions generally last 20\u201345 minutes, depending on the chosen treatment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Downtime<\/strong>: Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Mild redness or sensitivity may occur.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Results<\/strong>: Visible lightening usually begins within 1\u20132 weeks post-treatment, with full results after 3\u20136 sessions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Consult Before You Treat<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Melasma is a recurrent condition. While treatments can improve pigmentation, long-term management requires a tailored, doctor-guided approach. A thorough consultation at Cambridge Medical will help assess the pigmentation depth, skin type, and lifestyle factors to develop a personalised care plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The above treatments are medical procedures that should only be performed by a qualified medical professional.
