What is melasma?

Microneedling

In micro-needling, the skin specialist uses a 1.5 mm long needle without using any extra medications or active ingredients and punctures the skin slightly for shorter periods. Microneedling is beneficial for melasma patients as it lightens the dark patches of pigmentation on the skin. The patients who suffer from the recurrent melasma may find it very effective to opt for micro-needling because it helps with the dark patches to remain lighter for longer periods. There is a lesser amount of injury resulting after the procedure of micro-needling, and the pain is almost at a modest level. The use of sunscreen is mandatory for melasma patients to get optimum results.
