Melasma on face – SAAM pigmentation care
SKIN CONCERN

Melasma, dark spots, age spots, freckles & uneven skin tone

Melasma on face appears as brown or grey-brown patches, most often on the cheeks, forehead and upper lip. It is mainly triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes and heat, which is why it is especially common in sunny climates like the UAE. Freckles, sun spots and post-acne marks can also leave pigmentation on face and make your skin tone look uneven. Recognizing where it appears helps you choose the right care.

✓ Cheeks are the most common area for melasma on face. Brown or grey-brown patches often appear on both sides in a similar shape, as this area gets the most direct sunlight.
✓ Pigmentation on face often spreads across the forehead as large, uneven patches, usually triggered by sun exposure and hormonal changes such as pregnancy or birth control.
✓ Darkness above the upper lip is often mistaken for a shadow. Like other dark spots on face, it becomes more visible with heat, sun and friction.
✓ Scattered spots along the jawline can leave an uneven skin tone, often caused by sun damage or marks left after breakouts.
