@skinandbodylab.ca: Replying to @Blue Treating Melasma.. Most of my suggestions from my hyperpigmentation video apply when treating melasma Specifically… 1. SPF (preferably tinted) 2. Retinoids 3. Chemical exfoliation (mandelic & azelaic acid is especially great for inflammation) 4. Tyrosinase Inhibitors (hydroquinone, arbutin, kojic acid, Tranexamic Acid. But hydroquinone is the most effective for melasma) What melasma needs that is different from regular hyperpigmentation .. ✨ Melasma is impacted by hormones and internal factors like diet, stress.. as well as external factors like weather & lifestyle 🥗 I am not a dietitian and cannot give advice about this, but taking a look at your diet and what may be triggering flare ups is worth exploring! (Diet alone can NOT cure melasma, it can only be managed. Be weary of anyone promising this) ☀️ Heat can cause flare ups.. sauna, steam room, hot yoga, prolonged sun exposure without protection. Also be cautious of heat based skin devices like certain lasers, Radio frequency, LED lights, steam during facials, etc. 🧪 Chemical peels and micro needling can be helpful tools with managing your melasma, but make sure you are working with someone who has extensive experience with melasma and skin of color! Overdoing controlled injuries can make it worse! It’s a balance between causing a controlled injury but not TOO MUCH that you worsen the situation. The truth is, melasma is lifelong.. It flares up, calms down, and comes back again. There’s no quick fix or “cure”. It’s all about learning your triggers, being consistent, and patient with yourself. Trying to improve your melasma? Save this for later! ✨ I also offer virtual consultations! Link in bio to book #h#hyperpigmentationmelasma #melasmatreatment #e#estheticianmelasmaskincare
