Melasma

Absolutely, yes! Vitamin C is a fantastic antioxidant that contributes to a more radiant complexion and promotes skin repair. We often recommend Vitamin C serums as part of your skincare plan for melasma.

Vitamin B12 is essential for healthy skin, and a deficiency may contribute to pigmentation issues. However, B12 alone won’t cure melasma — though correcting the deficiency can certainly improve your overall skin health.

Melasma sometimes fades naturally, especially after childbirth or when you stop using hormonal birth control. But in many others, it stays unless treated. Getting early treatment at Skinaite Clinic improves your chances of seeing results faster.

Pregnancy triggers an increase in estrogen and progesterone, which activate the skin’s pigment-producing cells. That’s why many women develop melasma during this time — it’s often called the “pregnancy mask” or “chloasma.”

Melasma affects millions of individuals, particularly women aged 20 to 50. It’s most frequently seen in people with medium to deep skin tones.

You may be at higher risk if you:

• Are a woman
  
  
• Have a medium to dark skin tone
  
  
• Have a family history of melasma
  
  
• Are pregnant or on birth control pills
  
  

Spend a lot of time in the sun

Not at all. Melasma is a benign (non-cancerous) condition. But it can look like other skin problems, so a proper diagnosis is always important.

Melasma may last for a long time, but it’s not necessarily permanent. With the right treatment and ongoing care, it can improve significantly — and in some cases, clear up almost completely.

No, melasma is not painful or itchy. Though melasma doesn’t cause any pain, we understand how much it can weigh on your emotions and self-image.. At Skinaite Clinic, we’re here to support you through every step of your skin journey with kindness and care.
