Can melasma be cured?

Melasma is chronic and can be well controlled, but it tends to return without ongoing care and sun protection.

Why can aggressive treatment make it worse?

Heat and inflammation can trigger melasma, so a gentle, consistent approach is safer and more effective.

How important is sunscreen?

Essential. Daily broad spectrum SPF is one of the most important parts of treating and maintaining melasma.

How long until I see results?

Melasma improves gradually over weeks with consistent treatment and protection.

Melasma is a stubborn form of pigmentation that often appears as brown or gray patches on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip. It needs a careful, gentle approach. At LY Aesthetics in Brooklyn, we help lighten melasma and keep it from coming back.

How Melasma Treatment Works

Melasma is influenced by hormones, sun exposure, and heat, which is why aggressive treatments can sometimes make it worse. Our approach is gentle and consistent, combining brightening treatments and products that lighten pigment while protecting your skin barrier. Strict sun protection is essential, because sun and heat are major triggers.

What to Expect at LY Aesthetics

We assess your melasma and build a gentle plan focused on gradual, steady improvement. Because melasma is chronic and prone to return, we emphasize maintenance and daily sun protection to hold your results over time.

Who It Is For

This treatment suits you if you have melasma patches, especially if past treatments were too harsh or made it worse. It is common in those with hormonal changes and sun exposure, and it affects all skin tones.
