Melasma Treatment

Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown to gray-brown patches on the face, particularly on the cheeks, bridge of the nose, forehead, chin, and above the upper lip. It also can appear on other parts of the body that get lots of sun exposure. At Sarojini Devi Skin Hospital, we offer advanced treatments to effectively manage melasma and restore your skin's even tone.

What Causes Melasma?

Melasma occurs when the color-making cells in the skin (melanocytes) produce too much color. People with darker skin are more prone to melasma because they have more active melanocytes. Common triggers include:

• Sun exposure (UV light stimulates melanocytes)
• Hormonal changes (pregnancy, birth control pills, hormone therapy)
• Genetic predisposition
• Certain medications that make the skin more sensitive to sunlight
• Skin care products that irritate the skin
