Self Assessment
about Age Spots and Melasma
Root Causes
Age spots, or solar lentigines, develop from prolonged sun exposure that increases melanin production. Melasma is often triggered by hormonal changes such as pregnancy, birth control use, or menopause, and can be worsened by UV exposure. Both conditions result from excess melanin in certain skin areas and may be influenced by genetics, inflammation, or certain medications.
Solutions
Our Bellevue clinic offers personalized treatments to lighten pigmentation and prevent recurrence. Options include IPL photofacials, laser therapy, chemical peels, and medical-grade skincare with brightening agents like hydroquinone, vitamin C, and retinoids.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AGE SPOTS AND MELASMA
Age spots are usually small, well-defined, and related to sun damage, while melasma appears as larger, symmetrical patches, often on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip. Understanding the difference helps us tailor treatment for more effective results.
