    What Is Melasma?

    Melasma is a harmless skin pigmentation disorder that causes flat brownish-blue patches on the facial skin and is often challenging to treat. 90% of melasma cases affect adult women, and only 10% occur in men. Direct sun exposure and hormonal imbalance are the primary risk factors.

    Where Does Melasma Commonly Appear?

    Melasma is commonly a facial aesthetic concern and causes freckle-like spots or bluish-brown and greyish symmetrical patches with defined or diffused borders on the following areas:

    • Forehead
    • Nose
    • Cheeks
    • Chin
    • Jawline

    What Are The Types Of Melasma?

    Dermatologists categorise melasma into three broad types based on the depth, colour and characteristics of the pigmentation: –

    Epidermal Melasma

    Causes dark brown patches with defined edges and is superficial and treatable.

    Dermal Melasma

    Dermal melasma is deep and diffuse in nature. It causes bluish-grey pigmentation patches that are challenging to treat.

    Mixed Melasma

    As the name suggests, mixed melasma causes melanin build-up in the dermis and epidermis. Therefore, treatment results remain variable.

    What Causes Melasma?

    Some common causes of melasma include

    UV Exposure

    It is the top cause of melasma and may even result in recurrence after treatment.

    Hormonal Imbalance

    Hormonal fluctuations due to high dosages of birth control pills, pregnancy, menopause and hypothyroidism can cause melasma.

    Genetics

    A positive family history can increase your risk of having melasma.

    Darker Skin Tone

    People with dark skin tones are more prone to melasma than others.

    Cosmetics

    Irritation due to chemical-based skincare and make-up products can trigger melasma.

    Treatment Options Available For Melasma

    Here are the treatment options for melasma available at Oliva Skin, Hair & Body Clinic

    Topical And Oral Medication

    Your dermatologist at Oliva may recommend topical application of skin-lightening agents like hydroquinone (2-4% concentration), tretinoin, kojic acid, azelaic acid, glycolic acid, arbutin, and Vitamin C to reduce melasma or prevent its recurrence as part of post-care. They may prescribe Tranexamic acid as an oral, injectable, or topical medication because of its proven efficacy in reducing melasma. Your dermatologist may change your hormonal medication, which may cause melasma as a side effect.

    Chemical Peels

    Dermatologists at Oliva specialise in customising chemical peel treatments to reduce superficial melasma based on the affected area and your skin type. They may recommend different concentrations of glycolic acid and kojic acid for a controlled exfoliation of the pigmented tissue to help you regain your spotless complexion.

    Laser Toning

    Laser toning treatment at Oliva Clinic is non-invasive and uses the latest USFDA-approved Q-switched Nd:YAG laser technology. Performed by expert dermatologists, it is the safest bet to reduce deep melasma and restore your natural skin tone. However, as per your dermatologist’s recommendation, you may need a few sessions based on the depth and severity of your pigmentation

    NOTE: 

    The results of melasma treatments can vary from person to person, and no single approach guarantees comprehensive or permanent outcomes. Post-treatment care plays a crucial role in minimising the risk of recurrence, but it cannot entirely eliminate the possibility of melasma returning. Consistent care and follow-up treatments may be necessary to maintain the best results.

    What Is The Melasma Treatment Procedure At Oliva?

    Melasma treatment at Oliva Clinic, Kochi, includes the following steps:

    Pre-Treatment

     It starts with an exclusive consultation with an experienced dermatologist who will thoroughly examine the pigmentation patches on your face under Wood’s lamp to diagnose the severity and type of melasma. They may suggest blood investigations to identify the underlying cause. Next, they will create a customised treatment plan recommending suitable modalities as a standalone or combination procedure. Oliva’s experienced medical team will share detailed pre-care instructions to ensure you achieve the best results from advanced treatments. 

    During The Treatment

    The dermatologists perform the scheduled sessions at planned intervals in a sterile environment, adhering to stringent protocols and global safety standards. This ensures a comfortable experience throughout the treatment. 

    Post-Treatment

    After the sessions, you can expect extensive post-care support to minimise potential side effects. Completing the recommended sessions and following the aftercare guidelines is essential to achieve the desirable results.

    We suggest you complete the recommended sessions and follow post-care advice to achieve the best results!
