Melasma Treatment in San Juan: What Controls It, and What Sets It Off
Most of the melasma we see at Greenhills has been treated somewhere else first. People arrive with a history of peels, whitening products and one course of laser that made it darker, which is a specific and fixable mistake rather than bad luck.
Melasma is chronic. We lighten it and hold it with maintenance, and we say that at the consultation rather than selling a cure. It is symmetrical, it favours the cheekbones and upper lip, and it flares with pregnancy, hormones, sun and heat.
Two of those triggers wait for you outside the clinic door, which is why the plan has to cover your day and not only the hour you spend with us.
What to audit before treating melasma in San Juan
Start with the products already bought
Photograph every whitening soap, cream, acid and serum currently in the routine. The Greenhills consultation should identify irritation before adding energy or another active. Melasma often darkens when too many treatments are stacked together.
Plan maintenance before the first session
The third-floor visit can reduce visible pigment, but the condition remains trigger-sensitive. Decide how sunscreen will be reapplied and which products continue between visits. A plan without maintenance is a temporary change presented as a cure.
What a session is like
The consultation asks when it started and what your day involves in sun and heat. Those answers shape the plan more than the machine does.
Sixty minutes. Cleanse, cool, a series of deliberately light passes, then a calming serum and sunscreen before you leave. No downtime.
