Melasma is a pigmentation condition, that usually affects women. Brown spots and patches appear on the face and, although melasma is not dangerous or contagious, it can be a major source of distress.

Usually caused by hormone changes, particularly those that occur during pregnancy, melasma typically affects women between the ages of 20 and 40. Patches of brown form on the surface of the skin around the cheeks and forehead and can worsen if the skin is exposed to sunlight.

There is no cure for melasma as such, but there are a number of non-surgical treatments that can improve the appearance of the skin and Dr Tapan is highly skilled at treating this often distressing condition. Pulse Dye Laser treatments can be very effective.
