Understanding Melasma: Causes, Symptoms & Best Treatments

melasma

Melasma is a common skin condition that leads to dark, discolored patches on the skin, especially on the face. Often referred to as the “mask of pregnancy,” melasma can affect anyone but is most common among women with medium to darker skin tones. If you’ve noticed brown or gray-brown patches on your cheeks, forehead, or upper lip, you may be dealing with melasma.

At Skin Heal Solutions Pvt. Ltd, we help patients across Maharashtra—including Pune, Mumbai, Nashik, and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar—manage and treat melasma with advanced dermatological care.


What is Melasma?

Melasma is a form of hyperpigmentation that occurs when melanin (the pigment that gives skin its color) is overproduced. It appears as symmetrical patches of discoloration on areas of the skin that get the most sun exposure.


 Common Causes of Melasma

  1. Sun exposure – UV rays stimulate melanocytes, leading to pigmentation.

  2. Hormonal changes – Common during pregnancy, with birth control pills, or hormone therapy.

  3. Genetics – Family history increases the likelihood.

  4. Skincare products – Some products may irritate the skin and worsen melasma.

  5. Thyroid dysfunction – A less common but possible contributor.


 Symptoms of Melasma

Melasma doesn’t cause any physical discomfort but can impact self-confidence. The most noticeable symptoms include:

  • Brown or grayish-brown patches

  • Usually appears on the cheeks, nose, forehead, upper lip, and chin

  • Even, symmetrical patterns on both sides of the face

 Best Treatments for Melasma at Skin Heal Solutions

At Skin Heal Solutions, we offer safe and effective melasma treatments using advanced dermatology technology:

1. Topical Creams

  • Prescribed creams containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, or retinoids help lighten pigmentation over time.

2. Chemical Peels

  • Mild peels exfoliate the skin, removing pigmented cells and improving tone.

3. Laser Therapy

  • Targeted laser treatments help break down pigment without harming the skin.

4. Oral Supplements

  • Antioxidants and oral medications may be recommended in some cases.

5. Lifestyle & Sun Protection

  • A broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen is essential daily.

  • Wearing hats, sunglasses, and avoiding peak sun hours also helps.


🌿 Natural Tips to Prevent Melasma

  • Use sunscreen daily—even indoors.

  • Avoid harsh skincare products.

  • Eat antioxidant-rich foods like berries, leafy greens, and turmeric.
