As a result, melasma mostly affects women, especially between the ages of 20 and 40, although it can occur uncommonly in men. When melasma begins to develop, it may appear in symmetrical brown patches. It is usually located on the cheeks, upper lip, brows, or forehead, but some cases can result in brown pigmentation developing on the neck, chest or arms.
Most people who are affected by melasma tend to have a more olive or dark skin tone. Additionally, while hormone factors are the main cause of melasma, prolonged sun exposure can also result in the spread of pigmentation. Anyone can develop melasma and while it poses no serious health risks, it can be treated early on to minimise its appearance.
Melasma is a complex condition that has long been difficult to treat, with improvements in most cases sustainable only for short periods of time. The patented procedure with the StarWalker® MaQX system is a multifactorial approach that not only treats hyperpigmentation symptoms, but is also believed to have beneficial effects on the vascular component of melasma.
