Melasma vs. Brown Spots
Dr. Chasin is here to break down the difference between melasma and brown spots—and why it's so important to get it right! 🌞 Melasma and brown spots can look similar but stem from very different causes. Brown spots are often the result of sun damage, while melasma is typically triggered by hormonal changes and sun exposure. Different lasers treat these differently, so deciphering the cause is key. If melasma is mistaken for sun damage and treated incorrectly, it can actually worsen. Proper diagnosis means tailored treatment for safer, effective results!
