Melasma, a common skin condition, often appears as brown or greyish patches on areas exposed to the sun, particularly the face. While it is not harmful, melasma can cause aesthetic concerns that affect confidence and self-esteem. At Trikwan Aesthetics, we offer a range of cutting-edge treatments designed to address melasma and restore a radiant, even complexion.
Understanding Melasma
Melasma typically develops on the forehead, cheeks, nose, and upper lip, and is most prevalent in women. It is often associated with the following causes:
- Sun Exposure: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation stimulates melanin production, which intensifies the appearance of dark spots.
- Hormonal Changes: Melasma is common during pregnancy (known as the “mask of pregnancy”) and among those taking oral contraceptives or undergoing hormone therapy.
- Genetic Predisposition: Individuals with darker skin tones or a family history of melasma are more likely to develop this condition.

How to Prevent and Manage Melasma
In addition to professional treatments, taking proactive steps can help manage melasma and prevent its recurrence:
- Apply Sunscreen Daily: Use a broad-spectrum SPF to protect your skin from UV damage. Physical sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are particularly effective.
- Limit Sun Exposure: Wear wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses to shield your face from direct sunlight.
- Maintain a Skincare Routine: Incorporate brightening agents like vitamin C and niacinamide into your daily regimen.
- Seek Professional Guidance: Consult with a skincare expert to create a personalised plan that addresses your unique needs.
