| Abstract | Melasma is a pigmentary disorder that is characterized by poorly defined, dark brown macules on sun exposed areas, such as the face, back, and arms. This hyperpigmentation condition affects millions of people worldwide, the majority of whom are women. In the United States alone, it is estimated to affect over 6 million people, including up to 40% of the US female population1. Melasma is more prominent in darker Fitzpatrick skin types III-IV, especially among Hispanic, African, and Asian populations. Those seeking treatment for the condition represent over 50% of aesthetic consultations in Asia2. |
