There is no permanent cure for melasma. Melasma can be triggered by hormones and sun exposure makes it worse. There are many treatments that can improve the pigment changes caused by melasma but if sun exposure persists without sun block, the pigment returns.

If melasma is caused by a specific event - pregnancy for example, treatment using a combination of topical medications, chemical peels and lasers should permanently correct the problem (unless you get pregnant again) If there is another cause, the main goal is to treat the underlying cause, then treat the melasma itself.
