Melasma Treatment in Kolkata: What Actually Works for Indian Skin

Struggling with dark patches on your face? It might be melasma — and no, it won't fade on its own.

If you’ve been noticing brown, gray, or uneven patches on your cheeks, forehead, or upper lip, you're not alone. This condition is called melasma, and it’s one of the most common pigmentary concerns faced by people in India — especially women.

Melasma often appears due to hormonal changes, sun exposure, or even genetics. And while it’s not harmful physically, it can deeply affect self-confidence. The worst part? Over-the-counter creams and home remedies rarely make a real difference. In some cases, they even make it worse.

That’s where expert care comes in. At Dr. Dinesh Hawelia’s dermatology clinic in Kolkata, we treat melasma with a personalized, science-backed approach — because every skin type deserves targeted care.

Why does melasma occur?

Melasma is triggered when melanocytes (the pigment-producing cells in your skin) go into overdrive, usually due to:

Hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy or birth control)

Sun exposure without proper SPF

Skin inflammation or harsh skincare products

Genetics

It commonly affects women between 20–45 years old but is also seen in men, especially in tropical climates.

How is it treated?

At Dr. Hawelia’s Skin Clinic, we don’t just “lighten” the skin — we target the root cause. Depending on your skin type and severity, treatment options may include:

Topical depigmenting agents

Chemical peels to exfoliate and regenerate skin

Laser therapy with specialized pigmentation-safe technology

Maintenance skincare to prevent relapse

Every treatment plan begins with a detailed skin consultation and analysis, ensuring your journey is both safe and effective.

Don’t wait for it to fade — treat it with expert guidance

Melasma can be stubborn — but with the right dermatologist, it's completely manageable.

 If you’re tired of covering up or feeling self-conscious, let your skin heal the right way.
