Melasma is more than “just pigmentation.” It’s a chronic skin condition influenced by hormones, heat, inflammation, visible light, and UV exposure — which is why it can be so stubborn and so easy to trigger again. Even with treatment, melasma has a tendency to recur if the underlying triggers aren’t addressed. That’s why successful treatment usually requires a combination approach: prevention, pigment control, and protecting the skin barrier. At Clara, we focus on science-backed treatment plans that improve pigmentation while keeping skin healthy long term. ✨ #Melasma #Hyperpigmentation #BoardCertifiedDermatologist #Dermatology #SkinCareScience
