Introduction

If you’ve got dark patches of skin on your face or stomach while pregnant, you may have Melasma.

What is Melasma?

Melasma is a common skin condition that causes dark brown or gray patches of skin to appear around the cheeks, forehead, bridge of the nose, and chin. While men can develop melasma, more than 90 percent of all cases affect women who have undergone hormonal changes through pregnancy or menopause. Because of this, you may often hear melasma referred to as “the mask of pregnancy.” While melasma is not dangerous in any way, patients often seek treatment for their melasma to restore their naturally even and radiant complexion.

What Causes Melasma?

Melasma is most often caused by hormonal imbalances in women. While stress, thyroid disease, and exposure to UV light are factors that may contribute to the development of melasma, doctors most often attribute this condition to changes in birth control, hormonal therapy, pregnancy, and menopause. Patients who have deeper skin tones are often more likely to develop melasma throughout their lifetime.

How Do I Know If I Have Melasma?

Melasma is typically characterized by the symmetrical appearance of brown or gray patches of skin on the:

Cheeks
Forehead
Bridge of the nose
Chin

“I could not have had a better first impression of La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic. I spoke with three practitioners at my appointment, who were all extremely friendly and professional. I never felt pressured to purchase any product/service. In fact, the doctor suggested I hold off on a service I was interested in to see if it was even necessary. I am genuinely looking forward to my next appointment”

“This was my first time here and my first time getting Botox and let me tell you Dr. Mani and her team is amazing. Coming into it I was extremely nervous bc I’ve never gotten any non surgical procedures done before so I didn’t know what to expect. But when Dr Mani and her team came in I got extremely calm and ready and let me tell you she is amazing and super quick! Didn’t feel a pinch!”
