Melasma, often called the “pregnancy mask,” appears as dark, patchy discoloration on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, or jawline. It’s typically triggered by hormonal changes, sun exposure, or heat, and can be frustratingly persistent. At Skin Care Institute, we offer safe, strategic treatments specifically tailored to calm pigment overproduction and protect your skin long term.
We specialize in melasma-safe treatments like SYLFIRM X RF microneedling, light chemical peels, and customized pigment-reducing skincare. Our approach focuses on controlling melanin production, fading discoloration, and preventing flare-ups.
We start with a comprehensive skin evaluation to understand your melasma pattern and triggers. Initial care focuses on gentle exfoliation and melanin-inhibiting topicals to begin calming pigment activity without irritation.
✓ Reduced pigment activity at the surface
✓ Soothed, more balanced skin tone
✓ Customized product protocol initiated
Once your skin is prepped, we may introduce SYLFIRM X or SkinPen Microneedling to target deeper pigment safely. These treatments help regulate melanocyte activity and rebuild healthy, even-toned skin from within.
✓ Gradual fading of melasma patches
✓ Reduced skin sensitivity and inflammation
✓ Boost in collagen and skin resilience
Follow-up sessions build on your progress, with alternating modalities like gentle peels or Clear + Brilliant® added based on skin response. The goal here is steady pigment correction without triggering rebound discoloration.
✓ Brighter, more uniform complexion
✓ Minimized patchiness and edge definition
✓ Ongoing melanin suppression
Long-term success with melasma is about maintenance and prevention. We’ll support you with sun protection strategies, hormonal flare-up protocols, and periodic treatments to keep pigment under control year-round.
✓ Long-lasting skin tone clarity
✓ Lower risk of melasma recurrence
✓ Personalized seasonal skincare support
