Melasma is a common skin condition that appears as blotchy, brown or grey-brown patches most often on the face. It’s typically triggered by sun exposure, hormones, or heat, and is more common in women. While harmless, melasma can be persistent and emotionally frustrating. At Injex Clinics, we offer targeted, evidence-based treatments to reduce pigmentation and restore an even, radiant complexion.
Melasma is a common skin condition that causes patchy brown or grey-brown pigmentation, typically appearing on the face particularly the cheeks, upper lip, forehead, and nose. It’s more common in women and individuals with darker skin tones, especially those who live in sun-exposed climates like Queensland.
Our approach to melasma focuses on reducing existing pigment, calming inflammation, and preventing recurrence through professional treatments and supportive skincare. A consultation is always recommended for personalised treatment planning:

Melasma can be stubborn, but with the right professional treatments and home care, it can be significantly reduced and well managed.
No, melasma is purely cosmetic and not harmful. However, it can affect confidence and may worsen without proper treatment.
There is no “one-size-fits-all” answer. Our clinicians assess whether you need superficial or deep pigment correction, and tailor treatment accordingly. Melsma is known for being particularly tricky to treat, but with the right advice, this can be minimised.
Yes, especially without sun protection. Ongoing use of SPF, antioxidants, and pigment-suppressing ingredients is essential to help prevent recurrence. Often melasma is something that will need to be treated for life.
Some lasers can worsen melasma if used incorrectly. At Injex, we use medical-grade lasers, performed by trained clinicians with deep understanding of pigment behaviour.
Melasma treatment requires patience, as results tend to appear gradually over time. Many clients begin to notice improvement within 4 to 6 weeks, especially with consistent in-clinic treatments and supportive skincare. However, deeper pigment may take several months and multiple treatment sessions to significantly fade. Long-term maintenance is also key, as melasma can recur without proper sun protection and pigment-inhibiting products. Your clinician will create a realistic treatment plan tailored to your skin and goals.
Yes, for most treatments you can resume makeup after 24 hours. Some treatments may require a longer downtime, your clinician will guide you.
