Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by discolored patches or dark spots on the face, most often appearing on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip.

Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by discolored patches or dark spots on the face, most often appearing on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip.

It is most common among pregnant women due to hormonal changes, but it can also be caused by sun exposure, birth control pills, and various hormonal issues.


The condition develops when melanin-producing cells create excess pigment in the skin. Melasma is not harmful, but it can cause emotional distress and make you more introverted. 



The good news is that we now have a solution to help you get back on track. With our advanced melasma treatment in Dubai, you'll restore confidence and achieve healthier, more balanced skin.

Symptoms and causes of Melasma

Asymmetrical, discolored patches
Uneven skin tone
Dark spots on sun-exposed areas

There are a lot of risk factors that increase the chance of melasma. Hormonal changes caused by pregnancy, birth control, or hormonal treatments are major contributors. Sun exposure can worsen melasma and lead to more pronounced patches.


Certain oral medications, skin inflammation, and lifestyle factors may also trigger melasma or worsen existing pigmentation. A complete medical history is crucial in helping to diagnose melasma and recommend the most suitable treatment.

Symptoms and causes of Melasma
Early and consistent treatment of melasma reduces excess pigment, prevents new discolored patches from forming, and improves overall skin tone.

Early and consistent treatment of melasma reduces excess pigment, prevents new discolored patches from forming, and improves overall skin tone.

While melasma may fade on its own, especially after pregnancy or by stopping birth control, it often persists or worsens without professional care. Early and consistent treatment of melasma reduces excess pigment, prevents new discolored patches from forming, and improves overall skin tone.


Managing melasma with proper sun protection and medical treatments helps avoid long-term pigmentation issues and promotes healthy skin. Visiting a professional, luxurious clinic, such as Shookra, is a much better choice than trying home remedies or hoping the condition will improve on its own.

How we treat Melasma at Shookra

We combine advanced technology with evidence-based therapies to offer tailored treatment options
Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels

Using a chemical solution such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or alpha hydroxy acids, peels remove dead skin cells from the skin’s surface. Skin-lightening creams encourage cell renewal, helping to lighten melasma and achieve an even skin tone.
Laser Treatment & Light Therapy

Laser Treatment & Light Therapy

Minimally invasive procedures like intense pulsed light and laser therapy target excess pigment in melanin-producing cells while protecting surrounding skin. These advanced treatments are particularly beneficial for dermal melasma and more severe cases.
Other Treatments

Other Treatments

Platelet-rich plasma and hyaluronic acid infusions may be recommended as part of a holistic approach to managing melasma.

Did a Hydrafacial at Shookra yesterday with the beauty therapist Boutaina and I’m honestly so impressed. My skin felt super clean, hydrated, and just... fresh. The clinic is gorgeous, the staff were lovely, and everything felt really professional. You can tell they know what they’re doing.



Definitely one of the best facials I’ve had in Dubai — perfect if you're looking for deep cleansing, glow, or just a proper skin reset. Will 100% be back.

Absolutely loved my experience at Aesthetic and Longevity Clinic. The ambience is luxe and calming, the staff warm and welcoming. I went in for the Salmon DNA treatment with Dr. Bushra, who was incredibly gentle and thorough — the procedure was smooth, painless, and so well explained. Can’t wait to see the results!
