Can Melasma be treated?

Melasma treatment is difficult. At The Private Clinic we have a variety of treatments to help reduce the apperance of Melasma but these should not be seen as a cure.
If melasma occurs during pregnancy, in most cases it will dissapear again a few months after delivery of the baby but it may return should you become pregnant again.
At The Private Clinic we do not treat any paitents who are pregnant and recommend that any type of Hydroquinone and retinoid creams are avoided in pregnancy as they could cause harm to the baby.
Our range of treatments can help to reduce the appearance but it is important to remember that, melasma will most often return after stopping the treatments so patients should expect to continue with regular treatment to achieve the best results.
