Melasma Clear Peel
What is Melasma Clear Peel and How Does it Work?
Melasma Clear Peel is a specialised medical-grade chemical peel designed specifically to treat melasma — a chronic pigmentation condition commonly triggered by hormones, sun exposure, and genetic factors.
The peel works by suppressing excess melanin production, exfoliating pigmented skin layers, and improving cellular turnover. Unlike routine peels, this treatment targets pigmentation pathways deeply, helping control recurrence when combined with proper skincare and sun protection.
Who Should Get Melasma Clear Peel & What Are the Benefits?
This treatment is ideal for individuals suffering from persistent or recurring melasma.
This peel is recommended for:
• Hormonal melasma (pregnancy-related or contraceptive-induced)
• Symmetrical facial pigmentation on cheeks, forehead, or upper lip
• Sun-aggravated melasma common in Indian skin
• Patients not responding adequately to creams alone
• Individuals seeking medical management rather than aggressive lasers
Key benefits include:
• Gradual lightening of melasma patches
• Improved skin tone uniformity
• Reduced pigmentation recurrence with maintenance care
• Controlled exfoliation with predictable results
• Safe for Indian skin under expert supervision
Melasma Clear Peel Procedure
Pre-Treatment:
A dermatologist evaluates the type and depth of melasma using clinical examination. Pre-peel priming with specific creams may be advised to stabilise melanin activity and reduce irritation risk.
During the Treatment:
The peel is applied in a controlled manner to affected areas. Mild tingling or warmth is expected. The duration is carefully timed to prevent post-inflammatory pigmentation. The session usually lasts 20–30 minutes.
Post-Treatment Care & Recovery:
Mild redness and peeling may occur for a few days. Strict sun avoidance, broad-spectrum sunscreen, and prescribed skincare are mandatory to protect results and prevent relapse.
