Melasma can be complex, with different types of melasma.

There are so many causes that can affect melasma as well as trigger it. Some triggers may include: Sunlight, pregnancy, medications, stress, tanning beds, thyroids issues, and more. Individuals who are more susceptible to Melasma are those with skin of colour. 

Misconceptions surrounding Melasma:

• Although melasma occurs more in women, many believe that only females suffer from this concern. This is FALSE, males can also suffer from this. DID YOU KNOW? The onset of melasma is typically between the ages of 20 - 40. 
• THERE IS NO TREATMENT FOR MELASMA. This is completely false due to the fact of practises not being able to assist their patients. At Zen Medi Spa, we havew the winning formula and over 20+ years of experience to back us in the department.
