Melasma is a common skin condition that causes patchy, dark discoloration, often on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and jawline. While not harmful, it can be frustrating and difficult to treat without expert help. At Mod-Doc, we specialize in safe, effective melasma treatment using a combination of medical aesthetics and holistic care—designed to target the root causes of pigmentation and restore your skin’s natural clarity.
Our Med Spa locations in Draper and Farr West, UT offer customized treatment plans for all skin tones, built by professionals who understand the complexities of melasma.
What Causes Melasma?
Melasma is primarily driven by hormonal changes and sun exposure, but other triggers can include:
– Pregnancy or birth control (often called "the mask of pregnancy")
– Genetics
– Certain medications
– Heat and inflammation
– Skin trauma or over-exfoliation
Melasma is chronic and recurring, but with the right treatment strategy, it can be significantly reduced and managed long-term.
How We Treat Melasma at Mod-Doc
Because melasma is deeply rooted in the skin and linked to hormonal and inflammatory pathways, treatment requires a multi-layered approach. At Mod-Doc, we personalize every plan to your skin type, severity, and lifestyle.
Treatment options may include:
– Chemical peels – help exfoliate and fade surface pigment.
– Medical-grade topical creams – lighten discoloration and calm the skin.
– Laser therapy – safely targets pigment at deeper levels (only for certain skin types).
– Microneedling – improves texture and helps break up melanin clusters.
– Holistic support – address internal inflammation, stress, and hormonal imbalances.
– Customized skincare regimens – including SPF and brightening serums.
Melasma often requires consistency and expert guidance. Our team will walk with you every step of the way to help you see results over time—safely and naturally.
What to Expect From Treatment
Melasma is not a one-and-done condition, but it is treatable with the right care. Here’s what you can expect:
– A detailed skin analysis and consultation
– A gentle, realistic treatment plan tailored to your needs
– Progress tracked over a series of visits
– Education on melasma-friendly skincare and sun protection
– Ongoing support to manage flare-ups and prevent recurrence
We treat melasma as a long-term skin condition, not a cosmetic flaw—so we focus on sustainable care that supports your skin’s health and strength.
