Pigmentation & Melasma — Complete Guide

Pigmentation is caused by overactive melanocytes responding to UV light, hormones (pregnancy, OCPs), heat, friction or inflammation. Melasma is one of the most stubborn pigmentation patterns — symmetrical brown patches on the cheeks, forehead and upper lip. Modern care combines daily broad-spectrum sunscreen, topical actives (hydroquinone, azelaic acid, kojic acid, retinoids, tranexamic acid), targeted chemical peels, low-fluence Q-switched laser and oral tranexamic acid in selected cases.
