What Nobody Tells You About Melasma and Sunscreen

Melasma, hyperpigmentation, sun spots- why do they happen, and what can you do about them? At DC Dermatology, pigment correction is one of our most requested treatments. However, effective treatment begins with identifying the specific type of pigmentation you're dealing with, as every case requires an individualized approach. In this episode, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dinh shares expert insights from years of experience treating pigmentation concerns across all skin types. We discuss the triggers of melasma and other forms of discoloration, treatment options, the impact of UV and visible light exposure, and why tinted mineral sunscreen is an essential part of many pigmentation treatment plans. Are you wearing a tinted mineral sunscreen every day? Leave your questions about melasma, pigmentation, or SPF in the comments below, and Dr. Dinh may answer them in a future episode. In addition to pigment correction treatments, Dr. Dinh is a board-certified dermatologist providing comprehensive skin care services, including annual skin checks, skin cancer screenings, and evaluation of new or changing moles and lesions.
