1) The Treatment:
Melasma, also called chloasma or “mask of pregnancy,” is a common skin disorder that mainly affects women aged 20-40 years or after childbirth. It causes dark patches on the face, impacting self-confidence. Zennara in Hyderabad specializes in diagnosing and treating melasma to restore healthy, pigmentation-free skin.
2) How It Works?
- Topical Therapy: Topical treatments for melasma work by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. Ingredients like hydroquinone, tyrosinase inhibitors, and retinoids help to lighten the dark patches and even out skin tone.
- Chemical Peels: Chemical peels involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which exfoliates the outer layer and stimulates cell turnover. This process helps to reduce the appearance of melasma by removing the pigmented skin cells and promoting the growth of new, healthier skin.
- Laser and Light-based Techniques: Laser and light-based treatments target the melanin in the skin, breaking it down and reducing pigmentation. These procedures can also stimulate collagen production, leading to overall skin rejuvenation and improved texture.
- Mesotherapy: Mesotherapy involves the injection of customized cocktails of vitamins, antioxidants, enzymes, and other beneficial substances into the mesoderm of the skin. This technique improves blood circulation, flushes out toxins, and rejuvenates the skin, resulting in a reduction in melasma.
3) Treatment Areas:
Melasma primarily affects the face, including the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and chin. However, the specific treatment areas may vary depending on the individual’s condition and the extent of melasma.
4) More Information:
Melasma is more common in women, especially those with darker skin tones or a family history of the condition. Sun protection is crucial for managing and preventing melasma. It is recommended to use broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF, wear protective clothing, and avoid excessive sun exposure. Melasma treatments may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired results, and maintenance treatments may be necessary to prevent the recurrence of pigmentation.
