Melasma responds best to a thoughtful, patient approach, and this first appointment lays that foundation. We begin with an in-depth conversation about your pigmentation history, hormonal influences, sun habits, current home care, and any past treatments, so we can understand what has been feeding your melasma and what has helped. A close skin analysis under magnification follows, along with gentle cleansing and a calming, barrier-supportive treatment chosen to prepare your skin without provoking heat or inflammation. You will leave with a personalized corrective plan that includes a home care routine, daily sun protection guidance, and a recommended treatment schedule designed for steady, lasting clarity. This visit is required before booking Melasma Follow-Up Treatments.
