What Exactly is Melasma?

Complications From Melasma

There are no complications from melasma, but sometimes patients notice they are not seeing the results they want following treatment. This might mean the patient sees their skin growing darker rather than becoming lighter. If the skin appears darker and the spots do not fade at least a little following the treatment procedure, patients should call their doctor immediately to discuss other options. This allows the doctor time to go over their treatment plan and come up with an alternative method of treatment designed to help the patient receive the results they would prefer to see.
