Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by symmetrical brown or grayish-brown patches, typically on the face. It results from overproduction of melanin (skin pigment) and is often associated with hormonal changes and sun exposure.
Sun Exposure (UV radiation) – Stimulates melanocyte activity.
Hormonal Changes – Pregnancy (chloasma), oral contraceptives, HRT.
Genetic Predisposition – Family history increases risk.
Cosmetic Products – Irritants can trigger pigmentation.
Medications – Certain anti-epileptics, photosensitizing drugs.
Brown, grayish-brown, or tan flat patches
Symmetrical distribution on the face
Irregular borders
No pain or itching (asymptomatic)

Advanced surgical procedures performed by our expert specialists
A non-ablative laser treatment that emits short bursts of energy to target melanin pigment in the deeper layers of the skin without damaging surrounding tissue. The laser breaks down pigment particles, which are then cleared by the body naturally.
An ablative laser that resurfaces the skin by removing microscopic columns of tissue. It promotes collagen production and helps reduce pigmentation but must be used cautiously in melasma due to the risk of rebound pigmentation.
A minimally invasive procedure using tiny needles to create microchannels in the skin, which enhances the absorption of topical agents like Tranexamic Acid, Vitamin C, or Glutathione.
Controlled application of chemical agents such as TCA, Jessner’s Solution, or Glycolic Acid to exfoliate pigmented skin layers and stimulate regeneration.
Involves injecting or applying the patient’s own platelet-rich plasma (rich in growth factors) into the skin, often after microneedling. May help improve skin tone and reduce pigmentation.
A non-invasive exfoliation technique that removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells using a diamond-tip or crystal device. Provides subtle improvement and is typically combined with other treatments.
