Melasma is a common chronic and recurrent disorder of hyperpigmentation that is caused by over functioning of melanocytes, which are cells that deposit melanin in the first and second layer of the skin. It is particularly common in women of reproductive age and in areas with high amounts of sun exposure such as the face, arms, neck, and chest. Melasma can be challenging to treat therefore, an appropriate therapy and prescription regimen requires a comprehensive assessment. In order to achieve optimal results, a consultation is required to prescribe a skincare regimen consisting of products from ZO Skin Health & Skinbetter Science are recommended.
