Answer: Dear Thanh Hue

Thank you for your interest and trust in sending questions to the Beauty category! With your question about whether treating melasma takes a long time and the best method to apply, we would like to answer as follows:

Melasma is a common problem in women, especially in their 30s and older. The causes of melasma are related to many factors, including hormonal imbalances (pregnancy, irregular menstruation, postpartum, contraceptive use, hormone therapy…), the negative effects of the environment (pollution, sunlight), using low-quality cosmetics; psychological factors (stress, anxiety…), staying up late, lack of nutrients, fatigue….

Currently, melasma can be completely eliminated with methods such as oral medication, topical creams, and light therapy (IPL, laser, etc.). The time for treatment varies depending on the treatment method and each person’s condition. The longer melasma is left untreated, the more difficult it is to treat and the lower the success rate, so it is best to start treatment as early as possible.

Among these methods, laser treatment for melasma provides the fastest results, with noticeable improvements after 4 – 6 weeks of treatment. However, this treatment is expensive, can cause swelling and inflammation, and the cosmetic clinics offering this treatment are usually located in big cities, causing inconvenience for women in remote areas or rural areas. Oral medication is relatively slow and requires a combination of external therapy, as well as the need to choose reputable products to avoid negative effects on health.

The most popular method is using melasma creams, as they are reasonably priced, widely available, convenient, and easy to use. With ingredients such as hydroquinone, citric acid, olive oil, soybean extract, along with a variety of vitamins and minerals, melasma creams not only inhibit the production of melanin pigments in skin cells, but also brighten and nourish damaged areas of the skin, helping the skin quickly become even-toned, radiant, and smooth. This is something that other methods cannot accomplish, and there are quite a few products that have been proven to effectively treat different types of melasma such as patchy melasma, mixed melasma, deep melasma, and long-lasting melasma… Melasma can be completely eradicated after 2-3 months of application.

Among the current melasma creams, Sakura melasma cream, researched and formulated in Japan, can eliminate melasma in a short period of time and is suitable for various skin types. This product is highly popular in Asia.
