Melasma
For symmetrical facial patches that darken again with sun, heat, hormones or inconsistent protection.
Pigmentation Treatment in Lahore for Melasma and Dark Marks.
If a brightening cream helped briefly, a peel made the area sensitive, or dark patches became more visible with sun exposure, hormones or acne, the first step is to identify the type of pigmentation.
Before another cream or peel, find out what may be causing the colour change.
Tell Dr Maria when the pigmentation began, what makes it darker and which creams or procedures you have already tried. This helps separate melasma, post-acne marks and irritation-related darkening.
Post-acne pigmentation
For brown, grey or red marks that remain after acne settles.
Dark lips and knuckles
For lip or knuckle darkening where friction, irritation or other factors need to be considered.
Underarm pigmentation
For underarm darkening that may be affected by friction, hair removal, irritation or other causes.
Chemical peels
A peel may be discussed only when the diagnosis, skin sensitivity and risk of further pigmentation are considered.
Laser options
Laser is not automatically the right answer; suitability depends on the type of pigmentation and how your skin responds.
Stop treating every dark mark the same way.
Text for appointment and mention where the pigmentation appears, how long it has been present and what you have already tried.
