Overview
About Melasma Treatment At Skin Essence
Melasma shows up as symmetrical brown patches on the cheeks, forehead, nose and upper lip. It is common in Indian women between 25 and 45, often appearing or worsening with pregnancy, hormonal pills, thyroid problems, heat and sun. Men get it too, particularly with outdoor jobs and long commutes across Pune.
Melasma is a chronic, relapsing condition. It is controlled rather than cured, and aggressive treatment makes it worse. Strong peels, high-energy lasers and steroid-based fairness creams are the commonest reasons patients arrive at Skin Essence with darker patches than they started with.
Dr. Daksha Patel, an MD dermatologist, uses dermatoscopy to judge how deep the pigment sits, identifies your triggers, and builds a plan around strict sun and heat protection, prescription creams, oral medication where suitable, and gentle in-clinic sessions at our Kalyani Nagar clinic. Expectations are set honestly at the first visit.

What To Expect
How Melasma Treatment Works At Skin Essence
- 01
Assessment and triggers
Dermatoscopy shows whether the pigment is superficial, deep or mixed, which decides what will and will not work. Hormonal and thyroid triggers are checked with blood tests where relevant.
- 02
Sun and heat protection
A tinted broad-spectrum sunscreen reapplied through the day, hats, and avoiding heat from stoves, steam and sun are the foundation. Without this step nothing else holds.
- 03
Medical treatment
Short, supervised courses of prescription lightening creams, and oral tranexamic acid for suitable patients after screening, reduce pigment production over 8 to 12 weeks.
- 04
Gentle in-clinic sessions
Mild peels and low-energy laser toning on the Qyros Q-switched Nd:YAG every 3 to 4 weeks lift pigment without inflaming the skin, followed by a maintenance schedule.

Helpful Answers
Melasma Treatment Questions, Answered Honestly
No. Melasma is controlled, not cured. With the right plan most patients get significant lightening and then keep it under control with sunscreen and maintenance. Anyone promising a cure is over-promising.
Heat, inflammation and strong products all stimulate pigment cells. Aggressive peels, high-energy lasers and steroid creams commonly darken melasma. Treatment has to be gentle and consistent.
Only low-energy laser toning, and only as part of a plan that includes sunscreen and creams. Used alone or at high settings, lasers can worsen melasma or cause light patches.
Treatment is limited to sunscreen and pregnancy-safe creams such as azelaic acid. Peels, laser toning and oral medication wait until after delivery and breastfeeding.
Expect 3 to 6 months for visible lightening, followed by a maintenance routine. Patients who protect against sun and heat consistently keep their results longest.
