Melasma is a common skin concern, especially in Kolkataโs humid climate. It appears as brown or grey-brown patches, usually on the faceโforehead, cheeks, upper lip, and chin. At Wilgate Aesthetic Skin Clinic, located in the heart of Ballygunge, we specialize in scientifically advanced and customized treatments to manage skin pigmentation and melasma effectively.
๐ค What Causes Melasma?
Melasma is often triggered by:
Thyroid disorders
Sun exposure
Hormonal changes (pregnancy, contraceptives)
Genetics
Cosmetic or skincare products
The pigmentation occurs due to overstimulation of melanocytes (pigment-producing cells), and without proper diagnosis and care, it can become persistent.
๐ธ Our Approach to Melasma Treatment
At Wilgate Aesthetic Skin Clinic, we take a multi-layered, evidence-based approach to treating melasma. Every skin is unique, so our treatments are tailor-made for visible, long-lasting results.
- ๐ฌ 1. Dermatologist-Guided Skin Analysis
- We begin with a professional skin consultation to identify the depth and type of pigmentationโepidermal, dermal, or mixed.
- โจ 2. Chemical Peels
- We use gentle yet effective peels like glycolic acid, lactic acid, or TCA peels that remove dead skin cells, promote cell turnover, and reduce melanin buildup.
- ๐ก 3. Laser Toning
- Using Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers, we target deeper pigmentation without harming the surrounding skin. This technology helps break down melanin and encourages even skin tone over time.
- ๐ฟ 4. Glutathione Therapy
- Our glutathione-based skin brightening treatments work internally to detoxify the skin and even out pigmentation.
- ๐ง 5. Customized Medical Skincare
- We recommend dermatologically-approved serums like kojic acid, azelaic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin C to reduce pigmentation and protect your skin barrier.
๐ก Preventing Recurrence
Melasma can recur, especially without proper care. We educate our patients on:
Regular maintenance sessions
Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen use
Avoiding heat and harsh skincare
Including antioxidants in skincare and diet
