What’s the Difference: Solar Lentigo vs Melasma?

 

Not all pigmentations on the face is melasma or “pekas.” Watch this short video to know the difference between melasma and solar lentigo.

Solar lentigo is easier to treat. One or two laser session can remove it. However, it comes back… and you can laser it off again!

Melasma, on the other hand, is quite harder to treat. Aside from sun exposure, other genetic and hormonal factors can cause melasma. Diligent sun protection and home medications are key to melasma improvement. There are also oral medications that you can take to improve the pigmentation, under your doctor’s supervision, of course. In the clinic, we can treat melasma with chemical, microneedling with exosomes and laser too!!!

Removing My Sunspot — the complete healing process after Q-switch NdYag laser!!!

I had my solar lentigo removed for the third time a few weeks ago! A sun spot or solar lentigo is a flat spot on the skin, usually darker than your skin tone. It is caused by sun exposure and is more common in people above 30 years old. But younger individuals can get it too!

My solar lentigo started in my 30’s, and the size grew bigger as I aged and enjoyed myself under the sun! The first time I had my solar lentigo removed was maybe 2016 (?). This is the 3rd time I’ve had my sun spot lasered. Finally, my skin is completely healed from the laser procedure. If you’re interested to know how the skin heals after a Q-switched NdYag 532nm laser procedure, watch this video!!!
