Hydroquinone-Free Treatments
By PCA skin
Melasma is a common hypermelanotic disorder affecting the face that is associated with considerable psychological impacts. The management of melasma is challenging and requires a long-term treatment plan. In addition to avoidance of aggravating factors, such as “the pill” and UV exposure, topical therapy has remained the mainstay of treatment. Multiple options for topical treatment are available, of which hydroquinone is the most commonly prescribed agent. Hydroquinone works to reduce the amount of melanin your skin produces, which in turn makes your skin lighter in appearance. However, doing so makes your skin more susceptible to UVA and UVB rays, that can lead to dangerous sunburns.
With melasma, remember this simple fact: EASY DOES IT!
