The topic of hyperpigmentation is always relevant for a cosmetologist. Violations of this kind are difficult to treat, and it is even more difficult to consolidate and prolong the result without relapses. The most common type of hyperpigmentation in the face is melasma, which appears as brown, grayish, blue spots that cluster into large, irregularly shaped lesions. For effective treatment of melasma , the well-known Spanish brand INNOAESHETICS includes an innovative line of products for professional and home use ME LINE > CAUCASIAN SKIN. In the article estet-portal.com we will tell you why ME LINE CAUCASIAN SKIN from official distributor of TOTISPHARMA GROUP – drugs of choice for the treatment of melasma in European-type skin (Fitzpatrick phototypes I–IV).

Pigmentation features of European skin type
Pigmentation – the most pronounced difference in the skin of different racial groups. Its severity depends on:
- genetics;
- amount of melanin;
- melanosome content;
- type of pigment in the skin;
- UV activity.
Features of the European skin type:
- hemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin give the skin a pink tint;
- melanosomes are grouped into complexes of two or more units;
- melanosomes are small;
- melanosomes are mainly located at the level of the basement membrane to protect the nascent nuclei of epidermal cells from UV damage;
- skin contains less PAR-2 – protease-activated receptors that are involved in the process of transporting melanosomes from melanocytes to keratinocytes – PAR-2 enhance phagocytosis.
Classification of melasma depending on the depth and localization of the lesion
By location, melasma is classified into:
- central facial (affects the forehead, nose, upper lip, chin);
- painting (only affects the nose and cheeks);
- mandibular (affects the arch of the mandible).
Depending on the melanin depth there are:
- Superficial (epidermal) melasma:
- pigmentation is localized mainly in the basal and suprabasal layer;
- under the Wood's lamp the spots are visualized brighter (wavelength 340–400nm).
- Deep (dermal) melasma:
- pigment detected in macrophages in the superficial dermis;
- under the Wood's lamp there is no significant contrast between pigmented and non-pigmented areas.
- Mixed melasma:
- elements of epidermal and dermal pigmentation are present;
- only areas of epidermal pigmentation are contrasted under Wood's lamp.

What is important to tell a patient with melasma at the consultation stage
At the consultation stage, it is important:
- Find out if there have been previous attempts to treat melasma.
- Determine how long ago the problem occurred.
- Explain to the patient that the therapy will be long enough (from six months to several years, depending on the severity of hyperpigmentation and other factors).
- To emphasize that home care accounts for 80% of melasma treatment, while professional treatments provide only 20% of the result. Without home care, melasma therapy will unfortunately
be effective. What is the uniqueness of the ME LINE brand from INNOAESTHETICS
