Frequently Asked Questions
Why do salon facials and bleaching creams make melasma worse?
Salon bleach and over-the-counter creams often contain hydroquinone or hidden topical steroids. While they may cause temporary lightening, stopping them triggers severe rebound hyperpigmentation, skin thinning, and visible broken blood vessels. True melasma clearance requires gentle, non-inflammatory clinical protocols.
Is laser toning safe for dark Indian skin tones?
Yes. In our Bhilai clinic, we utilize low-fluence Q-switched Nd:YAG laser toning. Unlike harsh ablative lasers that overheat the skin, low-fluence toning delivers gentle photoacoustic shockwaves that break down pigment particles without heat, preventing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
How many sessions will I need to see significant improvement?
Most patients observe noticeable evening of skin tone after 3 to 4 sessions, with a standard course of 6 sessions spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart achieving optimal, clear results.
Can melasma come back after it clears?
Melasma has a biological tendency to recur if triggered by intense UV sunlight or hormonal shifts. Maintaining results requires strict daily broad-spectrum sun protection and occasional maintenance sessions once or twice yearly.
What is the difference between sun tanning and melasma?
Sun tanning is temporary epidermal melanin production that fades naturally over weeks once sun exposure stops. Melasma is a chronic, deeper hyperpigmentation condition characterized by symmetrical butterfly-like dark patches driven by hormonal and genetic triggers.
Can I do laser toning in Bhilai during the summer months?
Yes. Because low-fluence Q-switched laser toning is non-ablative and does not break the epidermal surface, it can be performed safely year-round provided you adhere to daily broad-spectrum physical sunscreen application.
