Understanding Melasma
Melasma is a prevalent pigmentary disorder that primarily affects women, although men can also be affected. This condition is characterized by brown patches on the face, often exacerbated by factors such as hormonal changes, UV exposure, and certain medications.
- Genetic Predisposition: A hereditary tendency to develop melasma.
- UV Light Exposure: Sunlight and artificial light can trigger or worsen melasma.
- Hormonal Fluctuations: Changes during pregnancy or from oral contraceptives.
- Cosmetics and Drugs: Products that increase skin sensitivity to UV radiation.
Clinical and Cellular Patterns of Melasma
Clinical Patterns:
- Centrofacial Melasma: Affects the forehead, nose, chin, and central cheeks, seen in two-thirds of patients.
- Malar Melasma: Appears on the cheeks and around the nose.
- Mandibular Melasma: Occurs along the jawline and lower face.
Cellular Patterns:
- Epidermal Melasma: Characterized by increased pigmentation at the skin's surface, showing a clear contrast between affected and unaffected areas.
- Mixed Epidermal and Dermal Melasma: Features pigmentation at both the epidermal and dermal layers.
- Dermal Melasma: Found deeper in the skin and often requires advanced treatments like laser therapy.
Advanced Melasma Treatments
Effective melasma management requires a multifaceted approach:
- UV Protection: Essential for preventing further pigmentation.
- Depigmenting Agents: Effective for epidermal melasma, such as hydroquinone, tretinoin, and corticosteroids.
- Laser Therapy: Targeted treatments for dermal melasma, including fractional laser and intense pulsed light (IPL), can be highly effective.
