Melasma can be one of the most frustrating skin conditions to treat—and here’s why.
Many patients invest in treatments like Lumecca IPL, only to unintentionally compromise their results by skipping sunscreen a few days later—especially when it’s cloudy. Unfortunately, melasma doesn’t take days off.
This complex condition has both an epidermal (surface-level) and dermal (deeper) component. While treatments such as Lumecca and chemical peels help reduce visible pigmentation, the pigment-producing cells deeper in the skin are hormonally driven and highly sensitive to heat.
They don’t care that you just had IPL.
Exposure to UV rays, visible light, and even heat can restimulate pigmentation, making proper aftercare essential for lasting results.
Tinted SPF isn’t optional—it’s non-negotiable for melasma.
Formulas containing iron oxides help protect against visible light in ways traditional sunscreens cannot—something many patients aren’t told before investing in treatment.
At H2Hydro Medi Spa, we believe education is just as important as treatment. We’re here to help you protect your results and achieve radiant, healthy skin.
