Products for melasma
Melasma maintenance at home centres on two non-negotiables: a brightening serum with azelaic acid or tranexamic acid, and a broadspectrum SPF 50+ applied every morning (and reapplied midday). Without SPF, no treatment is sustainable.

Melasma: common questions
What is the difference between melasma and other dark spots?
Melasma appears as symmetrical brown or grey-brown patches, usually on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip and jaw. It is driven by hormones (pregnancy, contraceptives), sun and heat, rather than by a single injury like a pimple. Because those triggers keep returning, melasma needs long-term management rather than a one-off fix.
Can melasma be cured permanently?
Melasma can be lightened significantly and kept under control, but it can return with sun exposure, heat or hormonal changes. That is why our programmes combine in-clinic treatment with a maintenance routine and strict daily sun protection.
How is melasma treated at Premier Beauty Clinic?
We first assess whether the melasma is epidermal, dermal or mixed, because that determines the plan. Programmes combine brightening facials, brightening peels and microneedling with a tranexamic acid concentrate, and include progress skin analysis on return visits.
How much does melasma treatment cost in Nairobi?
Melasma programmes are priced at consultation, because the number and type of sessions depend on the depth of the pigmentation. Start with a Dermatologist Consultation or a Consultation & AI Skin Analysis; both are listed with prices on our services page.
What sunscreen should I use for melasma?
Use a broad-spectrum SPF 50 every morning, reapply around midday, and choose a tinted formula where possible, because the iron oxides in tinted sunscreen also help block visible light, which can worsen melasma on darker skin. A hat and shade matter too.
