Melasma is marked by discolored patches that usually show up on the face. It’s also called chloasma, or the “mask of pregnancy,” because it’s common among pregnant women. About 90% of people who develop melasma are women, but men can get it too.
No one really knows what causes melasma; people with darker skin tones seem to be more likely to get it. Certain hormones, specifically estrogen and progesterone, may also play a role. And, of course, sun exposure seems to be a big contributing factor.

Treatment
Melasma can’t be cured, but it can be greatly improved and controlled with the right approach. The first step is to establish an appropriate skincare routine. Your Dr. Patty Miami dermatologist will recommend products based on your skin type and condition, like prescription-strength topical creams that can lighten the skin.
Many of our patients have seen jaw-dropping results with exfoliating chemical peels. And [microdermabrasion] has also shown great success. These treatments gently remove the top layers of your skin to reveal a smoother, more evenly-toned surface.
