Understanding Melasma: More Than Just Pigmentation
Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by brown or gray-brown patches, most often appearing on the face—especially the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and nose. It’s more common in women, especially those with darker skin tones, and can be triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes (like pregnancy or oral contraceptives), or genetics. At Radiance Skin & Hair Clinic, Nagpur, we take a science-backed, personalized approach to treating melasma—aiming for safe, sustainable, and long-term results.
Why Melasma Is Challenging to Treat
Melasma isn’t just superficial pigmentation. It often extends deeper into the dermal layers and is influenced by vascular, hormonal, and inflammatory components. That’s why basic creams or fairness facials don’t work—and sometimes even worsen the condition.
Our Advanced Skin Care Solutions for Melasma
--
1. Customized Medical-Grade Creams
We design prescription-based skin-lightening regimens using ingredients like:
Tranexamic Acid – reduces pigmentation and vascular component
Azelaic Acid – targets pigmentation with anti-inflammatory action
Hydroquinone (in short-term use) – inhibits melanin production
Retinoids – boost skin turnover and reduce depth of pigment
These are customized as per skin type and melasma depth.
2. Chemical Peels
We use dermatologically safe peels like:
Modified Jessner’s Peel
TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) Peels
Mandelic and Lactic Acid Peels
These peels help exfoliate pigmented skin layers and enhance absorption of topical actives.
3. Laser and Light-Based Therapies
At Radiance, we use advanced lasers with caution and precision:
Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (Low fluence) – targets pigment without damaging surrounding tissue
Note: Laser is used selectively and only when topical and peel-based regimens have stabilized the skin.
4. Microneedling with Depigmenting Serums
Microneedling enhances the delivery of ingredients like tranexamic acid or glutathione directly into the dermis, targeting deeper pigmentation layers effectively.
5. Oral Tranexamic Acid (Under Supervision)
For stubborn or relapsing melasma, oral tranexamic acid in low doses may be prescribed, depending on the patient’s profile, after medical screening.
6. Strict Sun Protection and Maintenance
Broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+) is non-negotiable.
Physical blockers like zinc oxide offer extra defense.
Hats, scarves, and avoiding peak sun hours are encouraged.
We provide maintenance regimens to reduce the chance of recurrence.
