Melasma typically appears on areas of the face exposed to the sun, including the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. While it does not cause any physical discomfort or pain, the visible pigmentation can be a major cosmetic concern for many individuals. Our team of experienced dermatologists specializes in diagnosing the underlying cause of your melasma and developing a tailored treatment plan based on your skin type and lifestyle.

Several factors contribute to melasma, including sun exposure, hormonal imbalances, pregnancy, thyroid dysfunction, use of certain medications, and even stress. At Sanjay Rithik Hospital, we take a comprehensive approach to understand the triggers in your case, rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution. By identifying the root cause, we can better manage the condition and prevent future flare-ups.

A thorough assessment of the skin is the first step in our treatment procedure. To ascertain the degree and depth of the pigmentation, we employ sophisticated skin examination instruments.Based on this analysis, our dermatologists may recommend a combination of treatments such as topical creams, chemical peels, oral medications, or laser therapies. Topical creams often contain ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, azelaic acid, or tretinoin, which help lighten the dark patches over time.

For more stubborn or deep-seated melasma, we may suggest chemical peels that remove the outer layer of the skin, promoting regeneration of fresh, healthy skin. Laser therapy is another advanced option that targets pigment-producing cells and breaks down excess melanin without damaging the surrounding tissue. All procedures are done under strict medical supervision using safe, proven methods.

Sun protection is a crucial part of melasma management. We educate all our patients on the importance of wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, even indoors, and reapplying it regularly. UV rays can significantly worsen melasma, so we emphasize preventive care as much as treatment.
