Melasma is one of the most common and challenging skin conditions we treat at our Omaha, NE, clinic. Due to an overproduction of melanin, which gives the skin, eyes, and hair color, melasma causes brown patches on the face. These patches typically emerge on the cheeks, the bridge of the nose, the forehead, and above the upper lip. In some cases, melasma may develop on other parts of the body when exposed to the sun. In addition to sun exposure, melasma is associated with hormonal changes caused by pregnancy or birth control pills.
Your Experience
The incredible service you expect from Kohll's is at the core of what we do here at Preventative Medical Clinic. When you visit us for a cosmetic or wellness appointment, you can anticipate the personal, knowledgeable care that's been our hallmark for more than 70 years.
Treatment options
It’s important to choose an experienced provider to treat your melasma because many treatments used for excess pigment are ineffective; some may even make it worse because of their heat. Our experienced, knowledgeable providers will create a treatment plan that may include one or more of the following:
- LaseMD™ is a non-ablative (does not harm the skin’s surface), fully customizable laser skin resurfacing treatment that is FDA-approved for treating melasma and requires little to no downtime.
- Dye VL is a next-generation IPL treatment that uses Advanced Fluorescence Technology (AFT) pulsed light. It is non-ablative and gentle enough to treat melasma.
- Opus Plasma® combines radiofrequency (RF) and plasma energy instead of laser energy, making it safe for all skin types and tones. This fractional treatment creates pinpoint injuries to fade melasma. It also improves the skin’s texture and tone.
- Rejuvenize Peel™ by SkinMedica® is a medium-depth chemical peel that is safe for most skin types and provides a noticeable improvement with a single peel but may require multiple applications performed 4 to 6 weeks apart.
- Microneedling creates tiny openings in the skin through which topical pigment-lightening products or PRP can penetrate. It also causes the body to create fresh, new skin cells not altered by hormones and sun exposure to replace those affected by melasma.
- Skincare products selected by our experienced providers can minimize the appearance of melasma over time and protect from the sun.
