Melasma is a chronic pigmentation condition often triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or genetics. It requires a long-term, multi-pronged management approach rather than a single quick fix.

Treatment typically combines strict sun protection, topical depigmenting agents, and in-clinic procedures like chemical peels or low-fluence laser toning.

Consistency is key — most patients need 3–6 months of combined treatment to see significant, lasting improvement.
