Melasma Treatment in Milton Keynes
Specialist treatment planning for chronic facial pigmentation, with careful focus on skin stability, trigger control and long-term management.
Melasma is one of the most stubborn pigmentation concerns we treat. It often presents as patchy brown or grey-brown pigment on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip or jawline and can be triggered by hormones, heat, light exposure and inflammation. At Shujo Aesthetics, we treat melasma as a condition that needs long-term management rather than a one-off quick fix.
Understanding the Condition
What Is Melasma?
Melasma is a chronic pigmentation condition characterised by symmetrical patches of brown or grey-brown pigment on the face — most commonly on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip and jawline. It is strongly influenced by hormones, making it particularly common during pregnancy, while taking the contraceptive pill or during the menopause. It is also triggered and worsened by heat and light exposure, making it one of the most challenging pigmentation conditions to manage — especially in melanin-rich skin tones.
