Expert Melasma Treatment at Tactus Health
Understanding Melasma—and How to Treat It Safely
Melasma is a complex skin condition that affects millions of women, often triggered by hormonal changes, pregnancy, or sun exposure. It appears as patchy brown or gray discoloration—usually on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, or chin—and can be emotionally frustrating, especially when it returns after treatment or worsens with seasonal changes.
At Tactus Health, we understand how deeply melasma can affect your confidence. That’s why we offer science-backed, personalized treatments specifically designed for women—balancing real results with safety, sensitivity, and long-term care. Whether you’re managing melasma after pregnancy, during perimenopause, or due to hormonal birth control, we’re here to help you take back control of your skin.
What is Melasma?
Melasma is a form of hyperpigmentation that causes dark, irregular patches on the skin—most commonly on the face. It results from overactive melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) that release too much melanin in response to certain triggers. These patches can range from light brown to gray-brown and often appear symmetrically across both sides of the face.
Unlike other types of dark spots, melasma can be deeper in the skin and more reactive, which means it requires a gentle, steady treatment approach to avoid triggering further pigmentation. It’s most common in women with medium to deep skin tones and often worsens with sun exposure, heat, or hormonal fluctuations.
What Causes Melasma?
Melasma is caused by a combination of internal and external factors. Hormonal changes are the biggest trigger. Many women develop melasma during pregnancy (known as the “mask of pregnancy”) or while taking birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy. Estrogen and progesterone can stimulate melanin production, especially when combined with sun exposure.
Other triggers include chronic UV radiation, heat, visible light, genetics, and certain skincare products that irritate the skin. Stress, pollution, and thyroid imbalances may also play a role. Unlike basic sunspots, melasma tends to come and go in cycles, which is why it requires ongoing management—not just short-term treatment.
How We Treat Melasma at Tactus Health
Treating melasma requires patience, precision, and a deep understanding of how pigment behaves in hormonally sensitive skin. At Tactus Health, we begin every treatment journey with a full skin evaluation to assess your melasma type, depth, skin tone, and possible triggers. From there, we design a custom plan that fades existing pigmentation while protecting against recurrence.
Because melasma can worsen with overly aggressive treatments, we focus on safe, evidence-based methods that calm melanin activity and gradually restore an even skin tone. Our plans may include gentle resurfacing, pigment-regulating serums, and in-office treatments supported by long-term skincare.
We treat melasma with a long-view mindset—because the goal isn’t just fading dark patches, but helping you maintain lasting clarity with as little rebound as possible.
What to Expect From Treatment
Melasma is a chronic condition, and while it can’t always be cured permanently, it can be dramatically improved and managed with consistent care. You may begin to see early improvement within four to six weeks, but optimal results often build over several months.
During your consultation, we’ll explain every step of your treatment and set realistic expectations for your skin’s healing timeline. We’ll also guide you on how to care for your skin between visits, and how to adjust your skincare routine during hormonal shifts, travel, or seasonal changes.
With the right plan and consistent follow-up, melasma can be controlled—and your skin can look and feel clearer, brighter, and healthier for the long term.
Melasma Treatments We Offer
Prescription Skincare
With hydroquinone, tranexamic acid, retinoids, and antioxidants regulates melanin production and improves skin tone over time.
Chemical Peels
Gently exfoliate the top layers of skin and fade melanin clusters, helping soften melasma patches without over-stimulating pigment cells.

IPL Therapy
Uses pulses of broad-spectrum light to reduce visible melanin, especially in surface-level melasma triggered by sun exposure or heat.
Long-Term Maintenance and Prevention
Because melasma is highly reactive, maintenance is essential. At Tactus Health, we’ll build a prevention plan that fits your lifestyle and helps reduce flare-ups.
Daily sunscreen is non-negotiable. We recommend mineral-based SPF 30+ with iron oxide for full protection from UV and visible light. It should be applied every morning, even on cloudy days or indoors, and reapplied when outdoors. Protective clothing, wide-brimmed hats, and avoiding peak sun hours are also key.
We’ll help you build a skincare routine with melanin-safe ingredients that support long-term balance. Gentle cleansing, antioxidant serums, and barrier repair moisturizers keep your skin calm and resilient. If you’re managing hormonal triggers, we may coordinate care with your OB-GYN or primary care provider for additional support.
Your plan will also include seasonal check-ins to adjust treatments as needed—because melasma doesn’t disappear in one visit, but it can stay under control with expert guidance.
Real Solutions for a Real Condition
Melasma may be a long-term condition, but it doesn’t have to control your confidence. With the right care, consistent support, and gentle, effective treatments, you can achieve noticeable improvement and maintain a more even, radiant complexion.
At Tactus Health, we treat more than skin—we support women through every stage of life. Schedule your melasma consultation today and let us help you take the next step toward clear, confident skin that reflects your strength and beauty.
