Pigmentation & Melasma Treatment in Islamabad: Causes, Options & Prevention

Strong sun, heat, hormones and pollution make pigmentation one of the top skin concerns in Pakistan. Whether you have dark spots after pimples, sun spots or brown patches of melasma, the right plan can help you get a more even tone. Here is our guide to pigmentation treatment in Islamabad.

Types of pigmentation

• Post-acne marks — dark marks left after pimples
• Sun spots — from years of sun exposure
• Melasma — brown patches on cheeks, forehead and upper lip, often linked to hormones and sun
• Uneven tone — general dullness and patchiness

Treatment options

Chemical peels

Medical-grade peels gently remove the top layer of dull, pigmented cells and help brighten the skin over a course of sessions. See chemical peels.

Medical skincare

Doctor-recommended creams and serums support your clinic treatments at home.

Combination plans

For stubborn pigmentation, the doctor may combine treatments. Melasma needs a gentle, careful approach — harsh treatments can make it worse.

Daily habits that make a big difference

• Sunscreen every day (SPF 30 or more), reapplied when outdoors
• Wear a cap or use an umbrella in strong sun
• Do not pick pimples
• Avoid unknown “whitening” creams — some contain harmful steroids or mercury
