Melasma & Hyperpigmentation in Gulf Skin: A Safe Protocol That Actually Works

Melasma and stubborn pigmentation require precision—especially in Dubai’s sun and for Fitzpatrick III–V skin. Biolite’s protocol pairs gentle, staged energy treatments with pigment modulators and strict sun strategy for durable clarity.

Understanding Melasma

• Hormone- and sun-influenced pigment with epidermal and dermal components
• Flares with heat, UV, and irritation; harsh treatments often rebound
• Needs gentle, sustained control—not aggressive ‘one-and-done’ approaches

Biolite’s Safe Melasma Plan

1) Prime: barrier repair + pigment modulators; SPF discipline and heat management
2) Treat: low-fluence pico strategies/toning; chemical peels where appropriate; tranexamic acid use is physician-guided
3) Maintain: antioxidant topicals, seasonal reviews, and measured touch-ups

Devices & Topicals

• Picosecond/toning lasers with conservative fluence and cooling
• Targeted peels for dyschromia; avoid over-exfoliation
• Physician-guided topicals (antioxidants, retinoids as tolerated, pigment regulators)

Lifestyle & Functional Considerations

• Sun and heat planning (timing workouts, hats, reapplication rituals)
• Hormonal triggers reviewed in consultation; pregnancy-safe alternatives where required
• Nutrition and stress management to reduce flares

What to Expect

• Gradual, safer clearing over 8–16 weeks with staged visits
• Maintenance is key; we aim for control and glow, not over-thinning skin
• Photos and imaging track progress objectively
