Medical Dermatology
Melasma & Pigmentation
Pigment problems are easily aggravated by the wrong peel or laser. We emphasise diagnosis, photoprotection, and staged treatment.

What it is
Consultation-led plan that may include prescription topicals, oral adjuncts in selected cases, and procedures such as chemical peels or laser only when your pattern is appropriate.
Candidacy

Concerns
Concerns it can address
- Patchy facial pigmentation
- Relapse after aggressive treatments
- Uncertainty between melasma and other diagnoses
Benefits
Why patients consider it
- Lower risk of rebound pigmentation from mismatched procedures

Consultation-first
Suitability
Recent isotretinoin, pregnancy, or unstable melasma may change what is safe. We review skin type, history, and goals before any energy-based treatment.
Mechanism
How treatment works
We stabilise baseline pigmentation drivers, then introduce therapies in a controlled order—often starting with topicals and strict UV habits.

What to expect
Melasma management is a marathon. Expect incremental improvement and periodic maintenance rather than permanent erasure.
Recovery
Downtime & aftercare
Procedural steps may cause transient redness or micro-peeling; specifics depend on the chosen modality.
Integrity
Realistic outcomes
Results vary with depth of pigment, adherence, and hormonal influences. We avoid promising complete elimination.
