Melasma Removal
Melasma is a chronic pathology that appears as a result of a change in skin color (dyschromia). The appearance of pigmentation is provoked by the high activity of individual elements, including the epidermis and melanin. Such elements are formed through the combination of several components. They include one part of a melanocyte (specialized cells that produce pigment) and several keratinocytes (the main cells of the epidermis). They are carriers of pigment granules that are taken from the melanocyte and enter the existing keranocytes.
Most often, melasma appears on the skin of the face, which is subject to constant insolation (irradiation of the surface of the skin with sunlight). It most often occurs in women of reproductive age. The appearance of melasma has a significant impact on the quality of human life. Pigmentation affects the visible areas of the face and other parts of the body, is quite resistant to therapeutic procedures.
