Why Melasma Is More Than Just a Dark Spot

At Silk Aesthetic Skin Clinic, we often meet patients who feel frustrated after trying countless products and treatments for melasma with little to no lasting improvement.

That is because melasma is not just a simple dark spot.

It is a complex, chronic pigmentation condition influenced by hormones, sun exposure, heat, and inflammation. Unlike typical hyperpigmentation, melasma can sit deeper within the skin and is easily reactivated when treated too aggressively.

Why Melasma Requires a Strategic Approach

Melasma commonly appears as symmetrical brown or gray-brown patches on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip. What makes it challenging is that it is reactive. Excessive heat, harsh peels, or over-exfoliation can trigger rebound pigmentation, causing it to return darker.

At Silk, we focus on precision and skin stability.

Our approach prioritizes:

• Controlled, pigment-safe treatments

• Barrier protection and inflammation control

• Medical-grade skincare support

• Strict sun management guidance

Melasma management is not about quick fixes. It is about stabilization and long-term control.

What Real Progress Looks Like

Improvement with melasma is gradual and intentional. The goal is to:

• Soften pigment intensity

• Improve overall skin clarity

• Reduce recurring flare-ups

• Restore a more even, luminous complexion

Personalized Treatment at Silk

Every case of melasma is different. Skin type, pigment depth, lifestyle, and hormonal factors all play a role in determining the safest and most effective plan.

At Silk Aesthetic Skin Clinic, each treatment plan is customized following a professional skin assessment to ensure safe, progressive, and lasting improvement.

Because melasma is not just a dark spot. It is a condition that deserves expert care.
