For overall brighter skin, smoother texture, and more even skin tone—including reducing melasma!—we always recommend our secret weapon: a chemical peel.
At SPRY Skin & Wellness, our VI peel, or chemical peel, near Cedar Falls, gently but powerfully exfoliates the skin. We especially love this treatment for reducing melasma. Keep reading to learn why.
What Is Melasma?
Melasma is a type of hyperpigmentation known for brown or gray-brown patches on the face. It often appears on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip.
What Causes Melasma?
Melasma can form due to hormonal changes, sun exposure, genetics, and even certain medications. Melasma is also known as the “mask of pregnancy” because it frequently develops during or after pregnancy.
How Can Chemical Peels Treat Melasma?
While melasma can fade on its own over time, it can also persist for years. Luckily, we use treatments and topical skincare products to help break down the hyperpigmentation, reducing the dark spots and managing melasma.
Chemical peels, or VI peels, offer a great solution for melasma because of their exfoliating power. Essentially, chemical peels buff the skin, accelerating the shedding of any discolored skin.
Chemical peels also encourage new, unpigmented skin to come to the surface. This leads to a more even skin tone.
The ingredients of the VI peel, including salicylic acid and vitamin C, also help prevent new hyperpigmentation from forming in the future.
