FAQs about Melasma & Pigmentation Treatment in Amravati

Why does melasma occur?

Melasma is often triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, genetics, and skin inflammation. It's more common in people with darker skin types.

Is melasma permanent?

Without proper treatment and sun protection, melasma can be persistent. However, with appropriate therapy and prevention, significant improvement is achievable.

How long until I see results?

Initial improvements can be seen within 4-8 weeks, but optimal results typically appear after 3-6 months of consistent treatment.

Will it come back?

Sun exposure remains the primary trigger. Consistent SPF 50+ use and maintenance treatments help prevent recurrence.

Are lasers safe for melasma?

Lasers are one option for some types of melasma, but they carry risks, including worsening of pigmentation in some patients. Whether a laser is suitable depends on your melasma type and skin type, and the risks are discussed before treatment.
