Types of melasma for treatment in Islamabad:
There are four different forms of melasma depending on how deep the melanin is.
Dermal melasma
In dermal melasma, the melanin pigments are deposited in the dermal layer. Thus, it often appears near the zygomatic bone, so in this case, melasma commonly appears near the cheeks with blurry edges and no distinct ending lines. The patch caused by the dermal melasma is bluish-black in hue.
Recent studies suggest that targeting the dermis with therapies like microneedling and lasers may be beneficial for maintaining treatment results, but on the condition that these are done by professionals like Enfield Royal Clinic.
Epidermal melasma
In epidermal melasma, the melanin pigments accumulate in the deepest layer (epidermal) of the skin. This type of plasma is often seen in the middle of the face, and it has clear lines rather than blurry edges. This appears dark brown in color.
Mixed melasma
Mixed melasma is the most frequently occurring type of melasma. This type of melasma is the combination of both epidermal and dermal melasma. It involves the excess accumulation of the melanin pigments in both epidermis (the outermost layer) and the dermis (the deepest layers of the skin).
The patches of mixed melasma appear as a mix of both brown and bluish-gray. This type of melasma is very tricky to treat, and thus, it requires a dermatologist at Enfield Royal Clinic to meticulously curate a treatment plan and a comprehensive
e approach. Melasma in Pregnant women
Melasma is a quite frequently occurring condition in pregnant women, which is why melasma is also called the ‘mask of pregnancy’. It is characterized by dark, decolorated patches mainly on the forehead, cheeks, chin, and upper lip.
The primary driver of melasma during pregnancy is the surge in hormones, which consequently stimulates melanocytes to produce more melanin. Melasma is generally harmless for the baby, but it poses aesthetic concerns for the mother.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Which treatment removes melasma permanently?
Unfortunately, there is no particular treatment that can make melasma disappear permanently. However, melasma can be kept in control by having professional treatments done.
What is the fastest treatment for melasma?
Pixel CO2 is generally cited as the fastest melasma treatment plan. Being a laser treatment, it penetrates deeper into the skin and shows potentially more significant results over just a few sessions. That is why it is more expensive and has a few days of downtime.
Does melasma worsen with heat?
Any type of hyperpigmentation disorder, including melasma, worsens with heat. Melasma is often triggered and worsened by UV exposure from the sun. Heat can increase the activity of melanocytes, the cells that make melasma worse.
Can a laser remove melasma?
Lasers are used on particular patients for melasma after thorough consultation and preferably after conducting tests. Laser seems to be the best option for refractory cases of melasma, especially in darker skin tones.
