Abstract
Melasma is a common chronic acquired pigmentation disorder that is recognized as a type of photoaging disorder. Although the exact etiology and pathogenesis of melasma remain elusive, it is widely believed that it is triggered by multiple factors and involves multiple cells. Because of its impact on appearance and self-confidence, melasma can affect the mental health and quality of life of patients. Various types of therapies have been used to treat melasma; however, the treatment of melasma remains challenging because of its eradication difficulty and almost constant relapses. Energy-based and combination therapies have recently become a new trend with surprising therapeutic outcomes. This work provides an overview of the clinical characteristics, etiology, pathogenesis, histopathologic features, and management of melasma.
期刊介绍：
Dermatologic Therapy has been created to fill an important void in the dermatologic literature: the lack of a readily available source of up-to-date information on the treatment of specific cutaneous diseases and the practical application of specific treatment modalities. Each issue of the journal consists of a series of scholarly review articles written by leaders in dermatology in which they describe, in very specific terms, how they treat particular cutaneous diseases and how they use specific therapeutic agents. The information contained in each issue is so practical and detailed that the reader should be able to directly apply various treatment approaches to daily clinical situations. Because of the specific and practical nature of this publication, Dermatologic Therapy not only serves as a readily available resource for the day-to-day treatment of patients, but also as an evolving therapeutic textbook for the treatment of dermatologic diseases.
