Melasma Treatment in Surat | Elegance Clinic

Melasma Treatment in Surat

Melasma appears as symmetrical brown or greyish patches, most often on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip and nose. It is far more common in women and is driven by a combination of sun exposure, hormones and genetic tendency. Unlike ordinary tanning, melasma sits deeper in the skin, which is why fairness creams and scrubbing do not work and often make it worse.

Melasma typically shows as:

Brown patches on both cheeks in a similar pattern
Darkening on the forehead, upper lip or bridge of the nose
Patches that deepen after sun exposure
Pigmentation that appeared or worsened during pregnancy or with hormonal medicines

Effective melasma care starts with an honest fact: melasma is controlled, not permanently erased, and aggressive treatment can backfire. The safest results come from a dermatologist led combination of strict sun protection, prescription lightening creams, gentle chemical peels and carefully chosen laser toning where appropriate for your skin.

Treatment is always calibrated for Indian skin tones, where harsh lasers or strong peels can cause rebound darkening. With the right plan and consistent sun protection, most patients see meaningful lightening over two to four months and learn how to keep it that way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can melasma be cured permanently?

Melasma is controlled rather than cured, because the tendency remains in the skin. With treatment and daily sun protection, patches lighten significantly and can be kept that way.

Why did I get melasma?

Sun exposure, hormonal changes such as pregnancy or contraceptive pills, thyroid issues and family tendency all contribute. Often it is a combination rather than one cause.

Do fairness creams work on melasma?

No, and steroid based fairness creams commonly worsen melasma over time and damage skin. Prescription treatment chosen by a dermatologist is safer and far more effective.

Is laser safe for melasma on Indian skin?

Only specific low energy laser toning protocols are suitable, and only in selected cases. Wrong laser settings can darken melasma, which is why assessment comes first.

How long before I see improvement?

Most patients notice visible lightening in eight to twelve weeks with consistent treatment and sunscreen. Results can vary between individuals and maintenance keeps them stable.

How much does melasma treatment cost in Surat?

Costs depend on whether your plan needs creams alone or added peel or laser sessions. A clear estimate is given after your pigmentation assessment.
