Why Melasma & PIH Persist

Break the pigment cycle. See clearer skin.

Melasma is driven by hormones and sunlight; PIH by inflammation after acne, injury or a rash. Both stick around longer on Indian skin because we produce more melanin. Creams alone rarely clear either fully. At Aevum Health, we treat melasma and PIH with clinical protocols - Q-Switch laser toning, cosmelan and kojic peels, mesotherapy - matched to your pigmentation type, depth and skin tone.

Melasma vs. PIH.

Type 01

Melasma (Hormonal)

  • Symmetrical brown patches, chronic and recurring
  • Triggered by hormones (pregnancy, OCPs, thyroid)
  • Worsens with sun, heat and blue light
  • Best treated with Q-Switch laser, cosmelan & mesotherapy
Type 02

PIH (Post-Inflammatory)

  • Dark spots left behind by acne, cuts or rashes
  • Patchy, not symmetrical - one-off, not chronic
  • Fades faster than melasma with the right plan
  • Best treated with glycolic / salicylic peels, PRP & vitamin-C mesotherapy

At consultation, your skin is assessed to map the right treatment to your pigmentation type, depth and skin tone.

Quick Answers

Frequently asked questions.

What is the difference between melasma and PIH?

Melasma is chronic, hormonal, and appears as symmetrical brown patches on both cheeks or the forehead - triggered by pregnancy, OCPs, thyroid or sun. PIH is a one-off dark spot left behind by inflammation (acne, cuts, rashes) - patchy, not symmetric, and fades faster with treatment. Both need different protocols.

Can melasma be cured completely?

Melasma cannot be permanently cured because the underlying hormonal or genetic trigger stays, but it can be very significantly lightened and controlled. Most patients see 70-90% clearance with the right protocol - then need a maintenance session every 2-3 months plus disciplined SPF to hold results.

What is the best treatment for melasma?

For Indian skin, the gold-standard melasma protocol is low-fluence Q-Switch NdYAG laser toning + cosmelan or kojic-acid peels + mesotherapy for depigmentation. Doctor-prescribed topical creams (kojic, arbutin, tranexamic acid) complete the plan. SPF discipline decides how long results last.

What is the best treatment for PIH?

PIH responds well to glycolic and salicylic peels, vitamin-C mesotherapy, PRP for skin, and medical brightening facials. Most PIH clears in 4-8 sessions. If PIH is from active acne, we also treat the acne in parallel so new spots do not form.

How many sessions of melasma or PIH treatment will I need?

PIH plans usually run 4-8 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart. Melasma plans run longer - 6-10 sessions plus a maintenance session every 2-3 months. Deeper or older pigmentation needs more sessions. Your exact plan is set after mapping your pigmentation.

Is Q-Switch laser toning safe for Indian skin?

Yes. Q-Switch NdYAG is the safest laser for melanin-rich Indian skin because it targets pigment without heating surrounding tissue. Aevum uses conservative low-fluence settings dosed for your skin tone. Some patients get mild pink flush for 1-2 hours; there is no real downtime.

How much does melasma and PIH treatment cost in Goregaon West?

Cost varies by treatment (peels, laser toning, mesotherapy, PRP) and number of sessions. PIH plans are more affordable than melasma plans. We share a clear, all-inclusive plan at consultation with no hidden fees. Free first consultation for every patient.
