Pigmentation refers to changes in the colour of the skin that may appear as dark spots, patches, or uneven skin tone. Melasma is one of the common causes of facial pigmentation and often appears as brown or greyish-brown patches on areas such as the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. Pigmentation can be influenced by several factors, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, pregnancy, certain medications, skin inflammation, and individual skin characteristics. The pattern and underlying cause can vary from person to person, so proper assessment is important before choosing a treatment. At Dr. Karishma Aesthetics, pigmentation concerns are assessed based on the individual's skin condition, pigmentation pattern, medical history, and treatment goals. The clinic provides aesthetic and dermatology-related skin care services, with treatment recommendations tailored to each patient's needs. Depending on the type and severity of pigmentation, treatment options may include topical skin care, chemical peels, laser-based treatments, or other procedures where clinically appropriate. The choice of treatment depends on the underlying cause, skin type, and individual response. If you are looking for pigmentation treatment in Bangalore, a consultation can help determine the cause of pigmentation and identify an appropriate treatment approach. Results and the number of sessions required may vary from person to person.
Treatments for melasma may include topical creams, oral medications, laser-based treatments, and combination approaches, depending on the individual’s skin condition and pigmentation pattern.
A customised skin-care protocol, such as a ZO® Skin Health protocol, may be recommended along with Q-switched Nd laser treatment for selected patients. A structured skin-care regimen with maintenance over several months may be advised to help manage pigmentation and reduce the risk of recurrence.
Topical treatments such as retinoids, hydroquinone, kojic acid, and corticosteroid-containing creams may be used in selected cases under appropriate medical supervision. The choice of treatment depends on factors such as skin type, pigmentation pattern, medical history, and individual requirements.
Q-switched Nd laser treatment targets melanin within the skin and may help reduce the appearance of certain types of pigmentation.
Because melasma can be influenced by hormonal factors and may recur, treatment may require ongoing skin care and maintenance. The number and frequency of laser sessions vary according to the individual’s response and clinical assessment.
For selected patients, a combination of a personalised skin-care protocol and laser-based treatment may be considered. This approach is planned according to the type of pigmentation, skin type, treatment response, and individual goals.
