–<\/span> Keep melasma under control with the most appropriate laser treatment, consistency and the medical creams best suited to you.<\/p>\n –<\/span> Melasma is a chronic pigmentation condition and requires long-term treatment. In most cases, treatment is combined: medical depigmenting creams, oral supplements and laser treatment (not all lasers are indicated).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Oral supplements<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Tablets containing antioxidant ingredients (vitamin C, glutathione, <\/strong>pycnogenol), extracts of a fern with antioxidant and photoprotective properties (Polypodium leucotomos), among others.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Laser treatment<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> At Ribe Clinic, we will assess your case and, if we consider it necessary, recommend laser treatment combined with medical creams to reduce or remove the appearance of melasma.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Creams for melasma<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> At-home creams form part of the medical treatment of melasma, helping to enhance and maintain the results achieved with treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Creams with SPF 50+ sun protection<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Ultraviolet radiation, infrared radiation and blue light can worsen melasma. These types of radiation are present throughout the year, so creams that protect against them should be used consistently, both to treat melasma and to help prevent it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> There is no single \u201cbest cream\u201d<\/strong> for melasma, as it depends on the skin type, the severity of the melasma, the individual response to treatment and the cause of the melasma. However, some active ingredients are more effective than others.<\/p>\n There is no single ideal cream for every patient. A cream or combination of creams should be selected to target the factors mainly responsible for your melasma. Depending on whether it is hormonal, vascular, post-inflammatory or related to free radicals, different ingredients may be required.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Yes, creams can be effective in treating melasma and helping to prevent it. Consistency and prolonged use are important for their effectiveness. However, not all melasma creams have the same potency, and the most appropriate combination may sometimes be required.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> As a general rule, creams for melasma should include an antioxidant, an exfoliating ingredient, a depigmenting ingredient and sun protection.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
