@melasmaskinconsult: Two months apart, but this transformation is about far more than fading pigmentation ✨ Melasma is not simply excess melanin Research shows melasma affected skin can involve oxidative stress, inflammatory signalling, barrier dysfunction, vascular changes, mast cell activity, fibroblast signalling and changes within the basement membrane This is where sterile inflammation becomes interesting Sterile inflammation occurs without infection and can develop in response to cellular stress, oxidative damage and tissue injury We are not saying sterile inflammation causes melasma or that melasma is a disease, but biological processes can become self sustaining One pathway begins influencing another, inflammation communicates with melanocytes, oxidative stress influences signalling, barrier dysfunction creates further stress and melanogenesis continues The pigment we see can be the visible endpoint of a much bigger biological conversation This client’s results are exceptional for another important reason, her skin had no history of repeated treatment induced rebound No hydroquinone cycles No Kligman’s protocol No lasers No aggressive chemical peels Through the Skin Consult 3R System, Repair, Regulate, Restore, we supported her externally and internally Over approximately two months she reported improvements in sleep, energy, bloating and general wellbeing, while her visible puffiness reduced and her skin became calmer and more uniform Her melasma didn’t simply become lighter Her skin progressed to a point where it almost looked as though it had never experienced melasma This is why we don’t simply chase pigment We look at the environment that keeps allowing that pigment to be produced Struggling with melasma or pigmentation that keeps returning?
