Melasma Treatment in RT Nagar, Bengaluru
Advanced Treatment for Stubborn Facial Pigmentation
Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown or grayish patches on the face, especially on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. It often develops due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, pregnancy, genetics, or certain medications. While melasma is harmless, it can be persistent and affect self-confidence.
At Dr. Desai’s Skin, Hair & Laser Clinic, RT Nagar, we offer advanced, dermatologist-guided treatments to safely reduce melasma and restore an even skin tone. Under the care of Dr. Sanjay S Desai (MBBS, MD – Dermatology) with over 17+ years of experience, each treatment plan is customized based on skin type, severity, and underlying causes.
What Is Melasma?
Melasma occurs due to overproduction of melanin (skin pigment) by melanocytes. It commonly appears as symmetrical patches on sun-exposed areas of the face.
Common Triggers
✔ Sun exposure
✔ Hormonal changes (pregnancy, PCOS, oral contraceptives)
✔ Genetic predisposition
✔ Heat and visible light exposure
✔ Certain skincare products or medications
Without proper treatment, melasma may worsen over time.

In some cases, it may also appear on the neck or forearms.
