    MELASMA & PIGMENTATION · BRIGHT+ SERIES

    Fade stubborn dark patches.

    Melasma doesn't scrub away, and the wrong treatment can make it darker. Our dermatologists build a plan that fades it gently and keeps it under control.

    PDS BOARD-CERTIFIED DERMATOLOGISTS

    OVERVIEW

    What is melasma?

    Melasma shows up as brown or gray-brown patches, usually on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip or nose. It is common in Filipino skin.

    Sun, heat and hormones make it worse, so it often comes back. Treatment is about fading the patches and keeping them from returning. It is not a one-time fix.

    Strong or harsh treatments can make melasma darker. That is why a dermatologist should choose the treatment and the settings for your skin.

    WHY IT WORKS

    How we treat it

    01

    A plan for your skin

    Your dermatologist checks the type and depth of your pigmentation first. Then they choose the treatment and how often you need it.

    02

    Gentle, step-by-step fading

    Most plans combine peels, a pigment laser or targeted injections over several sessions. This keeps your skin calm while the patches fade.

    03

    Keeping it away

    Daily sunscreen and the right home care are part of every plan. They help stop melasma from coming back.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED

    Questions, answered

    Can melasma be cured?+

    Melasma can be faded a lot, but it can come back, especially with sun and heat. Most people need a plan to fade it first, then regular upkeep.

    What is the best treatment for melasma?+

    There is no single best one. It depends on your skin and how deep the pigment is. Your dermatologist may combine peels, a pigment laser, RF microneedling or depigmenting injections.

    How much is melasma treatment in the Philippines?+

    At Skinstitute, melasma treatments start at ₱2,500 a session. Most plans use a series of four, starting at ₱9,000 for four Bright+ Renew sessions.

    How many sessions will I need?+

    Most people need about four sessions to see a clear difference, then maintenance. Your doctor sets the plan at your consultation.

    Can laser make melasma worse?+

    Yes, if the laser or its settings are too strong. That is why your dermatologist chooses gentle settings and often combines the laser with other treatments.

    Do I still need sunscreen?+

    Yes, every day. Sun is one of the biggest triggers, so daily sunscreen is part of every melasma plan.
