Melasma Treatments at Tampa Bay Total Wellness
Restore Even Skin Tone and Lasting Confidence
Advanced therapies to safely reduce discoloration, improve skin tone, and restore clarity.
Overview
Understanding Melasma
Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown or gray-brown patches, typically on the face. It often appears on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and chin, and is frequently triggered by hormonal changes, sun exposure, or pregnancy. While not harmful, melasma can be frustrating and difficult to manage with skincare alone. At Tampa Bay Total Wellness, we offer advanced treatments designed to lighten discoloration and restore a clear, even complexion.
What Causes Melasma?
Melasma develops when pigment-producing cells in the skin (melanocytes) become overactive, depositing excess melanin in certain areas. Triggers include UV exposure, hormonal fluctuations, pregnancy (often referred to as the “mask of pregnancy”), and genetics. Understanding these causes helps us design a personalized treatment plan to reduce discoloration and prevent recurrence.
Advanced Melasma Treatments We Offer
Our therapies target pigmentation at multiple layers of the skin to reduce melasma and restore long-lasting clarity.
