Pigmentation and Melasma Treatment in Jalandhar
Introduction
Uneven skin tone can come from sun exposure, hormones, inflammation, certain medicines or a tendency inherited in families. Melasma, a common form of patchy pigmentation, often appears on the cheeks, forehead and upper lip and tends to return.
What it involves
The doctor identifies the type of pigmentation, because the right plan for sun-related marks differs from the plan for melasma or post-acne marks. Care often combines daily sun protection, topical medicines, avoidance of known triggers and, where suitable, in-clinic treatments such as peels or laser. Some procedures can worsen certain kinds of pigmentation, so selection is cautious. [CLINIC CONFIRMATION REQUIRED]
Potential benefits
Patches may lighten and skin tone may look more even with consistent care. Melasma is a long-term condition, and maintenance is commonly needed to keep improvements.
Consultation process
Your history, medicines, hormonal factors, sun habits and past treatments are reviewed. The skin is examined, and the doctor explains the likely cause, the realistic scope of improvement and how long a course may take.
Important considerations
- •Sun protection, including on cloudy days and indoors near windows, is central to any plan.
- •Aggressive treatments can trigger rebound pigmentation in some people.
- •Improvement is gradual. Recurrence is possible, especially with sun or hormonal triggers.
- •Persistent or changing dark marks should be examined by a doctor.
