Melasma is a complex condition—both chronic and reactive—meaning it’s not easy to find a solution for it on your own.
At TLC Acne and Rosacea Treatment Center, a division of Tri-County Medical Clinic, we have spent years treating skin concerns and understanding the modalities that work best for each individual patient’s needs.
Read on to learn more about how we treat melasma using the highly effective Cosmelan MD Peel.
Understanding Melasma
Melasma is a common, though bothersome, skin condition that can appear anywhere on the body, but most commonly on the face and neck. It appears in “patches,” usually brown or gray-brown in color.
People in their 40s or 50s may just be experiencing melasma for the first time. That’s because it’s influenced by a variety of factors, including:
- Hormone fluctuations, including during or after pregnancy
- Sun exposure
- Inflammation
- Vascular activity
Certain medications
Though melasma can go away on its own, more often, melasma can last for years or even a lifetime.
Why the Cosmelan Peel Is a Great Melasma Treatment
Near Macomb, MI, we use the Cosmelan Peel, a medical-grade, noninvasive treatment that, despite its name, does not actually resurface the skin the way a chemical peel does.
Not only is the Cosmelan Peel specifically designed for melasma and hyperpigmentation, it focuses on inhibiting melanin production and regulating enzymes involved in creating the pigmentation in the first place. It doesn’t just exfoliate—it targets and suppresses pigment production from the inside out.
Bonus Skin Support
Additionally, we offer Cell Story microneedling, also known as CELLSTORY Plus Liquid Meso-Care. It’s a skin rejuvenation treatment that uses Microspear® micro-needles to improve skin texture.
