Melasma has a way of sneaking into your confidence. Those uneven patches on the cheeks, forehead, nose, or upper lip can feel stubborn and almost personal. At IPAL Clinic, we understand how emotionally draining pigmentation issues can be, especially when they deepen over time or resist basic skincare routines.
A lot of people walk through our doors with stories that sound familiar. They’ve tried “miracle creams,” avoided the sun religiously, switched skincare routines every month and yet the pigmentation stays. Sometimes it even spreads.
At the IPAL Clinic, we approach melasma like detectives, not guessers.
We take time to understand:
Your lifestyle, your sun exposure, even your job routine
Melasma behaves differently for everyone. Some people develop deep, ash-brown patches; others get light but widespread discoloration. That’s why treatment must be chosen with precision.
Here are the melasma treatments available at IPAL Clinic:
Think of this as a precision tool. It breaks down pigment gradually, brightening the skin while keeping the deeper layers protected. It’s gentle, effective, and ideal for persistent facial melasma.
In treating superficial pigmentation, this is very effective. It targets the upper levels where melasma sits and lightens them in a safe manner.
We help to evenly tone the skin by using medical-grade peels that work to remove the pigmented layers on a superficial level. The peels are non-irritating while helping to smooth the skin and improve the texture
This option is excellent for deeper melasma that sits below the skin surface. The laser breaks pigmented cells into tiny particles that the body naturally clears over time.
Sometimes, melasma needs combined management. We offer:
The truth is, melasma isn’t a simple condition. It’s layered, hormonal, triggered by sunlight, genetics, stress sometimes all at once. That’s why generic treatments or random lasers often make things worse.
Dr. Sheher Bano is known for handling resistant melasma cases. Her approach is calm, detailed, and grounded in medical research not trends
Not every laser is melasma-friendly. Incorrect laser settings can deepen pigmentation.
Every face is unique. Your treatment must be too.
We don’t promise overnight miracles. Instead, we guide you with realistic expectations and long-term strategies.
We don’t just “erase” melasma, we teach you how to prevent it from returning.
Clear skin isn’t just about beauty, it’s about feeling comfortable in your own
skin again. If melasma has been weighing you down, know that
you’re not alone… and you don’t have to deal with it forever.
The given treatment is contingent on the various types and depths of the pigmentation. In IPAL Clinic, the GentleMax Pro and Alexandrite lasers, when properly calibrated, yield very positive results.
The average number of sessions required for most clients with melasma is between 4 and 8 sessions, assuming average responsiveness and the average level of severity for the particular individual.
Yes, it is when performed by qualified dermatologists. Safety, and hence expertise, are crucial since the use of incorrect laser type or incorrect settings can make melasma worse.
Although melasma is not completely amenable to treatment, it is manageable. Long-term control can be achieved with maintenance and use of appropriate treatment.
It is possible and especially so with changes in your hormones or exposure to sunlight. However, maintenance treatment may reduce the risk of the melasma reoccurring.
After the second or third session is when most people first notice changes.
