Treatment For Postpartum Melasma
Reveal Radiance: Clear Away Postpartum Melasma
Some women experience melasma during pregnancy or after childbirth. Melasma is characterised by dark, discoloured patches on the fact, particularly on the forehead, cheeks, and upper lip.
This condition is often triggered by hormonal changes during pregnancy, sun exposure, and other factors that affect skin pigmentation.
While melasma is generally harmless, it can impact self-esteem and confidence, leading many women to seek effective treatment options.
Melasma: The Mask of Pregnancy
Pregnant women are especially susceptible to melasma due to several factors:
HORMONAL CHANGES During pregnancy, there is a significant increase in hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. These hormonal fluctuations can stimulate melanocyte activity, the cells responsible for producing melanin, leading to increased pigmentation in certain areas of the skin.
SUN EXPOSURE Pregnant women often experience heightened skin sensitivity, and exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light can exacerbate melasma. The sun’s rays can trigger melanin production, causing existing pigmentation to darken and new patches to form.
GENETICS A family history of melasma can increase the likelihood of developing the condition during pregnancy. If other women in the family have experienced melasma, the chances are higher for those who are pregnant.
SKIN TYPE Individuals with darker skin tones are more prone to melasma, as their skin contains more melanin. This means they may be more susceptible to hyperpigmentation during hormonal changes like those experienced in pregnancy.
Effective Treatments for Melasma
How Does Dual Wave RF Microneedling Target Melasma Effectively?
Dual Wave RF Microneedling selectively targets areas of the which lasers cannot reach, to break down the abnormal cells in the skin without harming the surrounding healthy skin. Lasers only address the superficial layers of the skin without reaching the deeper layers of the skin where these stubborn pigments reside.
With the pulsed RF wave technology, the system gradually increases the temperate of the skin tissues between 42°C and 45°C. In turn, this causes protein structural change or collagen shrinkage, which promotes the wound healing process and tissue remodelling, which will ultimately help to effectively treat melasma, rosacea, and other stubborn pigmentation.
In addition, this treatment strengthens the basement membrane of the skin, thickens it, and improves the overall skin structure for younger, healthier skin.
