If you've been managing melasma for years, you already know how frustrating it can be. It comes back, it shifts with the seasons and the wrong treatment can make it worse.
We see this often. Patients arrive at our clinic having spent time and money on various treatments, "brightening" products, or protocols that weren't right for their skin tone. This can mean that their melasma is now harder to treat than it was at the start.
Here's what we want you to know:
Melasma can be managed well. It usually can't be cured, but it can be calmed, lightened, and kept stable with the right plan. That plan looks different for every patient, and it almost always involves a combination of daily protection, targeted topicals, and, when appropriate, in-clinic treatments selected carefully for your skin type.
Dr. Yadav's clinical focus and research are centred on dermatology for skin of colour, which is the population most affected by melasma. That's why patients often come to FACET for this condition.
If your melasma has flared this spring, or if you've been treating it on your own without seeing the results you'd hoped for, we'd be glad to help you build a plan.
