AT PUR SKIN CLINIC, WE STRIVE TO PROVIDE THE BEST AND A WIDE VARIETY OF MELASMA TREATMENTS EDMONDS AND KIRKLAND HAVE TO OFFER TO HELP YOU FEEL YOUR BEST AT ANY AGE, NO MATTER YOUR SKIN TYPE.
Your skin tells a beautiful story, but melasma can sometimes add chapters you didn’t expect. Those dark patches, often caused by sun exposure or hormonal changes, are common and natural, but they don’t have to define your skin. At Pur Skin Clinic, we offer treatments like the Clear + Brilliant® laser and SkinMedica® chemical peels to reduce pigmentation gently. Our goal is to help you feel empowered and comfortable in your skin, with care and support every step of the way.
What is Melasma?
Melasma is a skin condition characterized by dark, discolored patches that commonly appear on the face, particularly on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. It occurs when melanin-producing cells become overactive, often triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or genetics. Sometimes called the “mask of pregnancy” due to its prevalence during pregnancy, melasma can affect anyone. While it isn’t harmful, its visible nature can make it challenging to manage, especially for those experiencing persistent or recurring patches.
Why Can Melasma Be Hard to Treat?
Melasma can be challenging to manage because it often stems from multiple triggers, such as sun exposure, hormonal changes, and genetics. Even limited sunlight can worsen melasma, making sun protection essential. Hormonal shifts during pregnancy, menopause, or contraceptive use can also make it persistent and prone to recurrence. Additionally, melasma often requires consistent care and a combination of treatments to see noticeable results. At Pūr Skin Clinic, we understand these complexities and offer treatments designed to gently reduce pigmentation.
Symptoms of Melasma
- Brown, tan, or grayish-brown patches on the skin
- Commonly appears on the cheeks, forehead, nose, upper lip, and chin
- Often symmetrical, with patches matching on both sides of the face
- Typically flat and smooth, with no physical discomfort
- May occasionally appear on sun-exposed areas like the neck or arms
These symptoms are harmless but can feel bothersome due to their visibility, especially on prominent areas of the skin.
