What is Melasma Treatment London?
Melasma is a condition that causes light brown pigmentation, usually on the face. It is more common in women, though men can also be affected. It is also more common in darker skin types, where there is often a family history of the condition. Melasma is usually more prominent in the summer months and fades in winter. There are several factors that can cause melasma; genetics, sun exposure, birth control pill, pregnancy and some medications.
What are my treatment options?
Dr. Ophelia recognizes the importance of treating this condition early. She will recommend that melasma treatment include avoiding triggers such as hormonal therapies and sun exposure. As part of your skincare plan Dr. Ophelia can advise on the use of sun protection, creams targeted at improving pigmentation, as well as skin peels and laser treatment.

Frequently asked questions
You are at the centre of a consultation with Dr. Ophelia Veraitch. From openly discussing your skin and hair concerns to having the opportunity to ask any questions, she will also delve into what products you currently use or have used in the past. Dr. Veraitch will need to understand how your condition affects you and the impact that it is having on your life.
Following this, you will receive a thorough examination and Dr. Veraitch will review any photos that you bring along to support the diagnosis. Clinical photographs may also be taken in order to assess your response to treatment.
In most cases, a diagnosis can be offered at this stage of the consultation and written details of the condition and proposed treatment options will be provided. This will enable you to consider all options at home before making a final decision as to which course of treatment you prefer. Dr. Veraitch will also prepare a personalised care plan for you to take away at the end of your consultation.
In some cases, further investigations, such as blood tests or a skin biopsy, might be required before a final diagnosis can be made. If necessary, these will be arranged either following your appointment or on a separate visit.
Following your appointment, Dr. Veraitch and her team are happy to answer any questions you might have, to ensure that you understand and have confidence in your treatment plan.
