How melanin is formed

Melasma is a condition in which brown patches appear on the face. Melasma can be due to hormonal changes during pregnancy, friction, or from sun exposure. Women are much more likely than men to develop this condition. The brown or gray-brown patches of melasma appear most often on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin. In women, melasma often fades on its own after pregnancy or after an affected woman goes off birth control pills. At La Belle Medical Spa, we offer the best topical pharmaceutical-grade products and effective treatments to help clear melasma and maintain brighter skin. Our dedicated clinical team prides themselves in composing comprehensive treatment plans that help address melasma and help keep your skin bright all year round!

Hyperpigmentation is a common condition that makes some areas of the skin darker than others. “Hyper” means more, and “pigment” means color.  Hyperpigmentation can appear as brown, black, gray, red or pink spots or patches. The spots are sometimes called age spots, sun spots, or liver spots.  The spots can occur in just one area of the body or all over. Here at our spa, we offer a suite of treatments, services, and  pharmaceutical- grade skin care products that brighten and resurface the skin. Since each patient is unique, the approach that we take with each patient is unique based on the severity of their condition and goals.
