Featured TreatmentsMelasma and the Basement Membrane: What’s The Secret?
Melasma may be stubborn, but science is catching up. New research reveals that the key to managing this chronic pigmentation condition lies deep within the basement membrane — the skin’s invisible support layer. When UV damage and inflammation break it down, melanin leaks into the dermis, making pigmentation harder to treat. The solution?

With the right strategy, you can rebuild your skin’s resilience and restore your natural radiance.
