About melasma treatment at Aurevia
Melasma appears as brown or grey-brown patches, usually on the cheeks, forehead, nose or upper lip. It is common in women, can be triggered by pregnancy or hormonal changes, and is strongly aggravated by sunlight and heat.
Because melasma is chronic and tends to relapse, the aim is control rather than a one-time cure. Dr. Mehta builds a gentle, staged plan — sun and heat protection, prescription creams and carefully chosen procedures — and avoids aggressive treatments that can make melasma worse.
