Key Clinical Takeaways
- Melasma involves vascular and pigmentary components triggered by estrogen and UV/visible light.
- Aggressive lasers worsen melasma; low-fluence Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser toning is the gold standard.
- Tranexamic acid and cysteamine topicals suppress melanocyte hyper-reactivity safely.
- Tinted iron-oxide sunscreens protect against HEV (blue light) and infrared cooking heat.
Understanding the Complexity of Melasma in Indian Skin
Unlike standard sun spots or freckles, melasma is a complex dermatological condition characterized by symmetrical brown-to-grey patches on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip. It involves hyperactive melanocytes, increased dermal vascularity, and basement membrane disruption.
Standard salon bleaching or harsh laser treatments trigger the rebound phenomenon, making the pigmentation darker and more resilient. That is why treating melasma requires medical expertise.
