Detailed answer

Melasma is a condition characterized by patches of darkened skin, usually on the face. It is caused by overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. While melasma itself does not directly affect facial hair growth, some treatments for melasma such as laser therapy or chemical peels may temporarily affect hair follicles, potentially resulting in changes in hair growth. However, these changes are not caused by melasma itself, but by the specific treatments used to address the condition. It is important to consult with a skincare professional for personalized advice on managing melasma and any potential impacts on facial hair growth.
