Melasma is hormone- and sun-driven and tends to recur, so daily broad-spectrum sun protection is part of every plan. Treatment combines topical agents with cautious, low-energy device settings to avoid rebound darkening.
Diagnosis comes before treatment: pattern hair loss, telogen shedding, iron or thyroid problems and scarring alopecia look similar but need different management. Assessment usually includes scalp examination and blood tests.
Rosacea is a chronic condition managed rather than cured: trigger control, a short simple routine and medical therapy for papules, with vascular laser reserved for persistent redness and visible vessels.
Botulinum toxin softens movement lines, fillers restore volume and biostimulators encourage collagen over months. Doses are conservative and anatomy-led so expression is preserved rather than frozen.

Different lasers target different things: vascular lasers for redness, pigment-selective lasers for spots and tattoos, and fractional lasers for texture and scars. Deeper skin tones need adjusted settings to reduce pigment risk.
In Gulf sunlight, SPF 50+ applied every morning and reshaded through the day does more for pigmentation and ageing than any serum. A short routine — cleanser, one active, moisturiser, sunscreen — beats a long one.
Most redness and swelling settle within days. Avoid heat, exercise, active ingredients and direct sun for the period advised, and contact the clinic for unexpected pain, blistering or spreading redness.
