Melasma Treatment in Kolkata: What Actually Works Long-Term

By Dr. Manaswita Roy

The Truth About Melasma

Melasma cannot be "cured" instantly with a single laser session. It requires a long-term management strategy, particularly for Indian skin types which are prone to hyperpigmentation.

Essential Long-Term Strategies

  • Strict Sun Protection: Broad-spectrum sunscreen is non-negotiable.
  • Tyrosinase Inhibitors: Ingredients like Kojic Acid, Tranexamic Acid, and Vitamin C.

  • Clinical Treatments: Q-Switch Laser Toning and specialized chemical peels performed by expert dermatologists can safely break down pigment without causing thermal damage.
