Melasma & Pigmentation Treatment in Bareilly

Melasma is chronic — not a one-time stain. Dr. Pinky Nisha at Skin Solution Clinic, Bareilly uses graded chemical peels, prescription depigmenting agents, and strict sun protection to control pigmentation long-term.

Quick answer

Melasma treatment at Skin Solution Clinic, Bareilly involves a ₹300 consultation, prescription depigmenting creams (₹500–1,500/month), and melasma-specific chemical peels (₹1,500–3,000/session) across 4–6 sessions. Dr. Pinky Nisha (MBBS, DDV) manages melasma as a chronic condition requiring sun protection and maintenance.

What is melasma & pigmentation treatment?

Melasma is a common pigmentation disorder causing brown or greyish patches on the face, especially the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and nose bridge. It is driven by sun exposure, hormonal changes (pregnancy, oral contraceptives), and genetic predisposition. In Indian skin, melasma is particularly prevalent due to higher melanin activity. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) from acne, injuries, or steroid misuse is another common concern treated at Skin Solution Clinic, Bareilly. Dr. Pinky Nisha treats both conditions using evidence-based depigmenting protocols tailored for Indian skin.

Who needs this treatment?

Treatment is recommended for patients with brown or grey patches on the face that worsen with sun exposure, dark marks left after acne or skin injuries, uneven skin tone not improving with over-the-counter creams, pigmentation worsened by steroid cream use, or pregnancy-related skin darkening (chloasma). Women aged 20–50 with Fitzpatrick skin types III–V are most commonly affected.

How it is performed

Dr. Pinky Nisha follows a step-wise approach: assessment of melasma type (epidermal, dermal, or mixed) using Wood's lamp examination, identification of triggers (sun, hormones, cosmetics), prescription of triple-combination or modified Kligman's formula, graded chemical peels (glycolic, lactic, or yellow peels) every 3–4 weeks for 4–6 sessions, and strict photoprotection counselling. All peels are performed by Dr. Pinky Nisha at Skin Solution Clinic, Nainital Road, Bareilly.

Before, during & after treatment

Before starting, stop all steroid creams and use prescribed sunscreen for 1–2 weeks. During peel sessions (20–30 minutes), mild tingling is expected. After each session, mild redness and peeling may occur for 3–5 days. Results are gradual — expect noticeable lightening after 3–4 sessions. Maintenance therapy and lifelong sun protection are essential to prevent recurrence.

Why Skin Solution Clinic

Why choose Dr. Pinky Nisha for melasma & pigmentation treatment?

Dr. Pinky Nisha's DDV training at Nanavati Hospital, Mumbai included extensive exposure to pigmentation disorders common in Indian skin. She uses a graded peel approach — starting mild and increasing concentration based on skin response — rather than one-size-fits-all protocols. At Skin Solution Clinic, Bareilly, she emphasises that melasma is managed, not cured, setting realistic expectations from day one.
