Melasma is a discoloration of the skin and can cause dark spots on the face. Melasma is a common skin problem among women in the Philippines. It causes brown to gray-brown patches, usually on the face. 

It has significant emotional impact; such as feeling bothered, frustrated and embarrassed, and depressed about their skin appearance. 

One of the quickest way was  just “COVER” their face by:

•          Putting Makeup
•          Applying dangerous peeling solutions
•          Putting substandard creams
•          Doing self-medication

Last Oct 5,2019, I was able to meet Marlou Colina who’s passion was to help those suffering from  Melasma. He introduces MC’s unique and innovative skin care program Re-drape to conquer Melasma. A treatment protocol that will bring your dull skin and treats your unwanted melasma, skin discolorations, and acne stains, back to the “baby skin” #nofilter camera ready result without the use of make-up.  No machines, no lasers, no harsh chemicals, no pains, only all natural procedures, with minimal downtime during post treatment process.  

And to jump start the process, MC Aesthetics presents a new breakthrough in skin care that fights Melasma. As we age, the body produces free radicals that results into Sun Spots, Liver Spots and Melasma, caused by hormonal imbalance, Sun’s UVA and UVB race, or free radicals that results into the formation of Melanocytes.
