Do you have dark brown patches on your skin which developed in pregnancy or after starting on the pill? Does the colour darken after you have been in the sun? If so, you may be suffering from a condition called melasma.

Both the light treatment and the peels work best in conjunction with a bleaching cream and good sun protection.

Historically, there has been no cure for melasma. However, now there are treatments which can effectively fade unsightly discolouration, and even the skin tone.

Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy works by breaking up melanin of the dark colour in the skin. Brown patches gradually disappear.

Both the light treatment and the peels work best in conjunction with a bleaching cream and good sun protection. With regular use of these products, melasma is not likely to recur.
