Dark spots treatments

Overview:

Melasma is a common pigmentary skin condition that causes brown or grey patches on the face. It mainly occurs in females (90% of cases). Specifically, women with darker complexions and who are pregnant are at greater risk of developing melasma. Melasma or skin hyperpigmentation is one of the most stubborn and challenging to treat areas of dermatology. However, available options include peels, injective de-pigmenting formulas as well as special laser treatments.
