What is Melasma?

Melasma, literally meaning dark skin, is also popularly known as the "pregnancy mask." This common skin condition characterized by small brown or gray spots typically affects the skin on the cheeks, forehead, bridge of the nose, jawline, and areas around the mouth. Although you don't have to be pregnant to be affected by melasma, studies have shown that 90 percent of patients with melasma are women. While not harmful, many patients who have melasma wish to get it treated for cosmetic purposes. Procedures may include laser skin treatments at our Florida dermatology clinic.

How Much Do Treatments for Melasma Cost?

The cost of your melasma treatments in Florida at Suncoast Skin Solutions is going to vary depending on the type of treatment you choose to receive, the extent of treatment needed to achieve your desired results, and your health insurance coverage. To find out a more accurate cost for your melasma treatments in Florida, we encourage you to come in for a private consultation with one of our expert staff members.

What Causes Melasma?

Melasma is caused by hyperpigmentation of the skin. This hyperpigmentation typically occurs when an imbalance of estrogen or other female hormones cause the pigment-producing cells in the skin to overstimulate. Patients who typically experience an onset of melasma are women who are pregnant or are taking hormonal birth control pills. Studies have also shown that stress, thyroid issues, and skin tone may all contribute to the appearance of melasma as well. Our dermatologists can provide procedures for melasma like laser skin treatments in Florida.
