MELASMA

A Clearer Path Forward: Melasma Treatments at Drips Spa in Rochester, NY


 Melasma is one of the most stubborn forms of hyperpigmentation, often presenting as dark patches that don’t respond to typical over the counter products. Commonly triggered by hormones, sun exposure, and heat, it requires a thoughtful, expert approach to treat safely and effectively. At Drips Spa, we offer personalized, results driven treatments designed to brighten discoloration, restore skin balance, and support long term skin health.

What is Melasma?

 Melasma is a type of hyperpigmentation that presents as patches of brown or grayish discoloration, most often on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, or jawline. It is frequently linked to hormonal influences such as pregnancy, birth control, or thyroid imbalances. Unlike typical sun spots, melasma often sits deeper in the skin, making it more challenging to treat. With the right approach and expert guidance, it can be effectively improved and managed over time. 

Signs & Symptoms of Melasma

  • Patches that are flat, smooth, and persistent
  • Skin that darkens quickly even with limited sun exposure
  • Irregular brown or grayish patches, often symmetrical on both sides of the face
  • Discoloration that worsens with sun exposure or heat
  • Uneven skin tone, especially on the forehead, cheeks, or upper lip

What Causes Melasma?

  • Hormonal Fluctuations: Pregnancy, birth control, or hormone therapy are leading triggers.
  • Sun Exposure: UV rays activate melanin production, worsening discoloration.
  • Heat and Inflammation: Warm environments and skin irritation can stimulate pigment.
  • Genetics: A family history of melasma may increase your likelihood of developing it.
  • Skin Sensitivity: Overuse of exfoliants or strong products can worsen melasma in some individuals.

MelasmaTreatments Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@dripsspa.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

 At Drips Spa, our most effective approach to melasma focuses on regulation, repair, and long term skin balance. Top treatments include our signature Pigment Reset Program, along with targeted chemical peels, microneedling with regenerative serums, and medical grade skincare. These are strategically combined to control pigment activity, improve skin tone, and deliver safe, lasting results. 


Melasma is a chronic condition that cannot be permanently cured, but it can be effectively controlled and significantly improved with the right treatment plan, consistent skincare, and strict sun protection. 


Most patients begin to see visible improvement within four to eight weeks, with continued progress over time. 


Skincare is essential for maintaining control of melasma, but in-office treatments are often needed to achieve faster, more noticeable improvement and to manage deeper, more stubborn pigmentation.
