Pigmentation & Melasma Treatment in Bengaluru
Safe, Personalised Care for Even-Toned, Brighter & Healthier Skin
Pigmentation and melasma are among the most common skin concerns. Strong sun exposure, pollution, hormonal changes and Indian skin’s natural tendency to produce more melanin lead to dark patches, spots and uneven skin tone mostly on the cheeks, upper lip, forehead and jawline.
Melasma is a stubborn condition that improves with the right treatment but can return with sun exposure or hormonal changes. That is why quick fixes and fairness creams rarely work, and often make the skin worse. At Skin Cache, our dermatologists identify the type and depth of your pigmentation, then plan treatment using medical creams, chemical peels, lasers or a combination along with proper sun protection to hold the results.
Why Choose Skin Cache for Pigmentation & Melasma Treatment in Bengaluru?
Pigmentation looks similar on the surface but has different causes and depths. Our dermatologists assess your skin closely before choosing a treatment, so you get safe, gradual results without irritation or rebound darkening.

What is Pigmentation & Melasma?
Pigmentation happens when the skin produces extra melanin, causing dark spots or patches. Melasma is a specific type that appears as brown or greyish patches, usually on the cheeks, upper lip and forehead, and is linked to sun exposure and hormonal changes. With the right diagnosis and treatment, pigmentation can be lightened safely and kept under control.

It can, if the skin is exposed to sun without protection or if fairness and steroid creams are used again. Following aftercare keeps results stable.
No. Most fairness creams contain steroids or harsh agents that damage the skin barrier and make pigmentation worse over time.
