Melasma Treatment in Ahmedabad

Advanced Pigmentation Solutions at ADORN Aesthetics

Melasma is a chronic pigmentation disorder that causes dark brown or greyish patches on the face, commonly affecting the cheeks, forehead, nose, chin, and upper lip. It occurs due to overproduction of melanintriggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, genetics, and inflammation.

Although melasma is medically harmless, it can significantly affect facial aesthetics and confidence. Because the condition involves complex pigment pathways, successful treatment requires multimodal therapy rather than a single treatment.

At ADORN Aesthetics, Ahmedabad, Dr. Harsh Amin and His Team offers advanced combination therapies including:

• IV glutathione and antioxidant injections

• Q-switched Nd:YAG laser

• Medical chemical peels

• Fractional CO₂ laser

• PRP therapy

• PDRN regenerative therapy

• Exosome therapy

These treatments target pigmentation, inflammation, and skin regeneration simultaneously for optimal results.

What is Melasma?

Melasma is a symmetrical facial pigmentation disorder caused by increased activity of melanocytes (pigment-producing cells). The pigment may be located in the:

• Epidermis (superficial layer)

• Dermis (deeper layer)

• Mixed layers

This is why Melasma often requires combination treatment strategies.

Common Causes of Melasma

Melasma develops due to several factors:
 

• Hormonal changes (pregnancy, oral contraceptives)

• Genetic predisposition

• Skin inflammation or irritation

• Certain medications

Sun exposure remains the strongest trigger, making sunscreen essential in treatment.
