Chemical Peel for Melasma

This patient underwent a series of customized chemical peels at Spectrum Skin Clinic to reduce melasma pigmentationand improve skin tone irregularity caused by sun exposure and hormonal triggers.

Before treatment, the skin shows:

• Deep brown and gray-brown patches across the cheek and midface
• Uneven tone, particularly in the malar and perioral regions
• A dull complexion with pigment anchored in both epidermal and dermal layers

After treatment, results include:

• Noticeable lightening of melasma patches
• Brighter, more even complexion
• Smoother skin tone with improved texture and radiance

Our physician-guided protocol often includes tranexamic acid, azelaic acid, glutathione, and retinoid-based peels, carefully layered for patients with stubborn or resistant pigmentation. Melasma requires expert care, strict sun protection, and long-term pigment regulation to prevent recurrence—this case reflects the power of a strategic, tailored approach.
