    What Is Melasma?

    Melasma is a skin condition that causes symmetrical brownish, blue, or grey patches, mainly on the face. It is more common among adult women than men. It is also known as the mask of pregnancy or chloasma.

    It aggravates with time and worsens with regular sun exposure. Getting medical attention at the right time is necessary as it can become unresponsive to treatment later.

    What Causes Melasma?

    Some common causes of melasma include:

    Continued exposure to UV radiation from the sun and laptop, TV or mobile screens
    Hormonal disturbances, especially during pregnancy, menopause, or hypothyroidism
    Genetic history of melasma
    Those with darker skin are more prone to melasma
    Skin care products with harsh chemicals

    What Are The Types Of Melasma?

    Dermatologists categorise melasma into three main types based on the skin layer it affects:

    Epidermal Melasma

    It affects the topmost layer of the skin

    Dermal Melasma

    This appears due to melanin build-up in the deeper layers

    Mixed Melasma

    It is the most common type and affects the dermis and the epidermis.

    Who Is An Eligible Candidate For Melasma Treatment?

    Anyone who is 18 years old and above with melasma can opt for Oliva’s world-class melasma treatment. Our dermatologists advise pregnant and early lactating women against opting for it.

    Melasma Treatment At Oliva, Hyderabad

    The best dermatologists at Oliva offer the following melasma treatment options:

    Laser Treatment

    This is a revolutionary, US FDA-approved treatment procedure that effectively treats dermal and mixed melasma, which is usually unresponsive to other treatments. Our dermatologists use Q-switched Nd:YAG laser technology to break down the melanin deposits in a targeted manner. Doctors recommend multiple sessions of laser toning based on the severity of your melasma. It can help you regain an even skin tone without any major side effects or downtime.

    Chemical Peels

    The customised chemical peel treatment for melasma at Oliva uses different concentrations of plant-based acids to exfoliate the upper layers of your skin. Our dermatologists use glycolic acid and kojic acid to minimise epidermal melasma. However, you will require multiple sessions to see the best results.

    Topical And Oral Medications

    Creams with 2-4% hydroquinone, Vitamin C, Glycolic Acid, Kojic Acid and Azelaic Acid creams and gels, Tranexamic Acid in oral, injectable or topical form and Hormonal Medications.

    NOTE:

    You have to complete the recommended number of sessions and follow your dermatologist’s prescription and pre-and post-care instructions to achieve the best results and minimise the side effects of melasma treatment.
