🌞 Struggling with patches of pigmentation that get worse in the summer? Let’s talk melasma.
Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown or grey-brown patches, often on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip or chin. It’s linked to hormones, genetics and, most importantly, sun exposure, which stimulates the pigment-producing cells in your skin.
☀️ Why summer makes it worse:
Even everyday sunshine increases UV and visible light exposure, which triggers melanin production and that’s why melasma often looks darker in the warmer months.
✨ How we can help at Freyja Medical:
We tailor personalised treatment plans that may include professional skincare, topical therapies, chemical peels and advanced in-clinic options to help fade pigmentation and prevent flare-ups, alongside essential sun protection.
