what is

MELASMA

Melasma is a complex form of pigmentation often triggered by hormonal changes, sun exposure, and inflammation. It commonly appears as symmetric brown or grayish patches across the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, or jawline, and is more common in women and those with medium to darker skin tones. While stubborn, melasma can be managed and visibly improved with the right treatments and sun protection.
What Contributes to Melasma?
Treatments that focus on calming inflammation, gently breaking up pigment, and restoring skin barrier health—like chemical peels, low-energy laser, microneedling, and brightening facials—can help reduce visible patches over time without triggering flare-ups.

I recently had a treatment done at Dermphi and I couldn't be happier with the entire process from beginning to end. The facility is absolutely beautiful and super modern. Bethanie, who did my very first Morpheus8 treatment, was thorough and super customer service oriented. She took the time to answer all of my questions and provided me with the necessary details about the procedure.

Chenelle carried out my intervention and I was pleased to work with her. Her follow-up the following day was much appreciated. Thank you!
