Hello Hoai An!

Melasma has many causes, including internal causes such as hormonal disorders, side effects of drugs or genetic factors, and external causes such as the use of unsuitable cosmetics or excessive exposure to sunlight. When treating melasma, it is necessary to intervene simultaneously in all the causes of melasma if they exist in you. Applying and using oral medications are basic and necessary steps.

In addition, supporting methods such as mesotherapy injection, laser or skin peeling also play an important role in the treatment of melasma.

Regarding mesotherapy injection in melasma treatment, this is a technique in which the doctor will directly inject active ingredients that can inhibit melanin formation and brighten the skin into the skin layer that needs treatment. Compared to the topical method, mesotherapy injection helps to concentrate the active ingredients and penetrate deeper into the skin, while limiting side effects such as irritation or stinging sensation caused by topical products. Therefore, this method can improve melasma more effectively.

Currently, the cost of mesotherapy injection at Hoan My Hospital is 4,400,000 VND per injection.

You can come directly to the doctor for more specific advice and to develop a treatment regimen suitable for your skin condition.
