TL;DR Deep Phenol Peels and TCA Overview: Deep phenol peels are the most aggressive form of chemical peels, shedding a portion of the entire epidermis to reveal fresh skin. Phenol, derived from petroleum, is the key component, causing restricted injury to reduce facial wrinkles. Understanding Brown Skin for Chemical Peels: Brown skin has higher melanin concentration, more cell layers, sweat glands, and ceramide content. Despite high ceramide levels, brown skin is sensitive to pigmentation changes, Immediate Reactions to Deep Phenol & TCA Peels: Irritation, redness, color changes, burns, scars, crusting, scabs, swelling, allergies, and infection are common immediate reactions. Increased sensitivity to sunlight is a notable side effect, requiring avoidance of sun exposure. Long-Term Complications on Brown Skin: Persistent erythema, edema, blistering, milia, hyperpigmentation, depigmentation, herpes simplex infection, atrophy, changes in skin texture, and delayed healing are potential long-term complications. Complications like persistent erythema may indicate potential scarring, and milia can occur in the initial healing weeks. Nowadays, chemical peels are one of the best solutions to reduce the appearance of blemishes and signs of aging, which make you look younger than your age.  So, many people are doing the strongest deep phenol peel due to their high-intensity level, and skin penetration capabilities and get exceptional results. However, being the toughest type of chemical peel, it comes with certain risks, and side effects and can have dangerous effects on your skin.  Deep phenol peel doesn’t suit Indian brown skin or dark skin tone because of its high melanin content, and thus, high risk of developing PIH. As dark skin responds to injuries or inflammation, it produces extra melanin and develops dark spots and patches.  The aggressiveness of deep phenol peel causes scars and uneven tone. Indian skin gets more sensitive to the sun after the treatment intensifies the sun damage risks, develops pigmentation, and delays healing, which causes irritation, redness, and infection.  As deep phenol peel is an aggressive skin treatment, consulting a skilled doctor is crucial before getting it done. At CNF, our doctor checks your skin type, and melanin content and recommends the right treatment to deliver the desired results rather than performing deep phenol peel because of which your skin may have severe side effects Overview of Deep Phenol Peels & TCA Here is an overview of deep phenol peels & TCA that you should know before doing it:  Definition and Purpose A deep phenol peel is the deepest and most aggressive form of chemical peel, which sheds a portion of the entire epidermis and reveals fresh skin underneath. Phenol, the organic molecule, acquired from petroleum elements, can be generated deeply inside your skin and thus, used in aesthetic treatments.  It causes a restricted injury, which can visibly reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles post-healing. As phenol contains acidic properties, it is widely used in skincare products.  Unlike AHA/BHA peel, a deep phenol peel gets into the superficial layer and gently sheds dead cells on your skin’s topmost layer. Since phenol peel is very aggressive, it doesn’t suit Indian skin tones with a high melanin content. A phenol peel works well with people with mild to deeper acne scars, sun damage spots, and wrinkles.  Phenol, also called “carbolic acid”, removes your skin’s outer layer. A deep phenol peel is a skin resurfacing treatment whose purpose is to remove damaged cells, lighten acne scars, and boost collagen production in your skin. You will get a clearer and younger skin after the treatment.  Common Usage Of Deep Peels in Skincare A phenol peel is a commonly used ingredient in the skincare industry to cure skin conditions, such as acne and eczema. Since phenol acts as a disinfectant, it can heal your skin when combined with other treatments.  Phenol peel is non-invasive that causes tiny tears in your skin which produces more elastin and collagen post the treatment. The molecules in the peel deeply penetrate your skin’s top layer and reduce the appearance of discolorations and blemishes.  Skincare products containing phenol peel can exfoliate dead cells from the pores and cure acne breakouts. You can apply phenol peel products on your face as an inclusion of a multidisciplinary process when treating freckles and age spots. Phenol peel controls sebum production and shrinks the large open pores in your skin. As the excessive oil production controls, it minimize the chances of pore blockages and decreases the size of pores.  Understanding Brown Skin For Chemical Peels If you have a brown skin tone, you should know its unique properties and common challenges it faces before getting the deep phenol peel.  Unique Properties of Brown Skin Here are the key properties of brown skin:  High Melanin Concentration Brown skin has a higher level of melanin concentration than fair skin and thus, has a higher risk of hyperpigmentation as the pigment cells react quickly. As brown skin contains more melanin, it gets more protection against harmful sun rays. Dark skin has the same number of melanocytes as light skin. However, such cells produce larger melanosomes.  More Cell Layers, Sweat Glands, and Ceramide Content Brown skin contains more cellular layers, which makes it more compact and less prone to wrinkles and aging. Dark skin has more tiny blood vessels and sweat glands and is thus, a little oilier than fair skin. It also tends to get drier as its transdermal moisture loses more than light skin.  Asian skin has a high level of ceramide that helps in maintaining a strong skin barrier, holding moisture, protecting against irritants, and controlling moisture loss. A high ceramide content in Indian brown skin helps in strengthening the barrier and keeps it hydrated.  Sensitivity to Pigmentation Changes Even after having a high ceramide content, brown skin is quite sensitive to pigmentation changes. Ceramides and sensitivity in your skin have a complicated relationship, which varies depending on multiple factors, such as environmental elements, genetic predisposition, allergies, irritation from skin care product ingredients, and other skin disorders. As brown skin is extremely sensitive to pigmentation changes, it demands special attention. Immediate

TL;DR Desire for Fair Skin: In India, the pursuit of lighter skin is deeply rooted, often leading to the use of harmful fairness products that may cause skin damage and severe side effects, including the risk of skin cancer. Safe Skin Whitening Treatments: Advanced skin whitening treatments can rejuvenate skin without changing its natural tone, effectively addressing issues like acne scars, tan, hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and blemishes. Topical Treatments: Options include Retinol (reduces dark spots and wrinkles), Kojic Acid (inhibits melanin production), Niacinamide (brightens skin and reduces pigmentation), Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C for pigmentation reduction), and Glycolic Acid (exfoliates for smoother skin). Chemical Peels: Various peels like Me Line, Cosmelan, Lactic Acid, TCA, Retinol, and Mandelic Acid Peels offer benefits ranging from treating hyperpigmentation to rejuvenating aged skin. Laser Treatments: Technologies like CO2 Laser, Q Switch Laser, and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Laser are used for skin whitening, addressing issues like sun damage, scars, and uneven skin tone. Injectable Treatments: PRP, PlasmoDerm, Volite, Hydra-Rich, and Baby Botox injections are used for natural skin whitening and reducing hyperpigmentation, offering benefits from hydration to wrinkle reduction. Other Treatments: Glutathione injections, Hydrafacial, Microdermabrasion, and IV Therapy are alternatives for skin whitening, each with unique benefits like detoxification, exfoliation, and hydration. Lifestyle and Diet: A healthy lifestyle and diet, including adequate sleep, stress management, and consumption of nutrients like vitamins A, B, C, essential fatty acids, and zinc, play a crucial role in maintaining brighter, healthier skin. Getting a glowing, even, and flawless skin tone is a dream for almost all people. Without using fairness creams and products, you can get brighter and healthier skin with our advanced skin whitening treatment. It rejuvenates your skin by treating all the issues, such as acne scars, tan, hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and blemishes.  Our experts lighten and brighten your skin tone rather than changing its original color. Once you visit CNF in Bengaluru, we will check your skin concerns and suggest the right whitening treatment to deliver the best results. Understanding Skin Whitening: the Desire for Lighter Skin India’s obsession with a white skin tone has been since the dawn of time. People with dark skin tones keep applying numerous fairness creams, lotions, foundations, and compact powder to get a lighter skin tone and look fairer. However, using such products every day may damage your skin rather than make it lighter. Some of them may cause severe side effects and even skin cancer.  Setting Expectations: Realistic Goals and Safe Practices Your skin gets darker and develops blemishes and dark spots because of consistent sun exposure, hormonal imbalance, genetics, stress, and medical issues. Harmful UV rays cause sunspots, blotches, and freckles on your skin, which make it appear darker. People damage their skin by repeated application of fairness products to get fairer skin, which is impossible. None of the products can change your skin color and can only make you look fairer for a while.  Different Types of Skin Whitening Treatments Here are the different types of skin whitening treatments you can do in India: 1. Over the Counter Topical Treatments Below are the different types of OTC topical treatments you can do to whiten your skin: Retinol What is it? Retinol, a type of Vitamin A, which is an ingredient in creams, serums, and lotions, can clearacne and give you a brighter skin tone. How Does it Work? Retinol boosts the production of skin cells and helps in unclogging pores. As retinol exfoliates the skin and produces more collagen, it reduces the appearance of dark spots, wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scars. Time to See the Result Retinol starts working on your cells immediately but takes many weeks for your skin to lookand feel better. Kojic Acid What is it? Kojic acid is used in beauty products as a skin-whitening element. It can cure skin disorders,such as age spots, acne scars, and sun damage. How Does it Work? Melanin, a natural pigment in your skin, adds color to your skin, hair, and eyes. Tyrosine, an amino acid, promotes melanin production. Kojic acid blocks tyrosine formation and combat melanin production, which lightens your skin. Apply kojic acid products and leave them on your skin so they get fully absorbed.  Such products reduce the appearance of dark spots, sun damage, and age spots, they give you younger-looking skin. Kojic acid can also reduce melasma, scar discoloration, and dark pigmentation, which gives you an even skin tone. Time to See the Result You will get results in 2 weeks if kojic acid is used topically. The results are faster or better ifyou use it with glycolic acid. Niacinamide What is it? Niacinamide,  i.e. vitamin B3, is a key ingredient in many skin whitening products. It reduces the appearance of acne scars, and aging signs and brightens your skin. How Does it Work? You can apply niacinamide products on your skin every morning and evening. When applying niacinamide, you can mix it with other potent antioxidants, such as tocopherol, quercetin, and camellia sinensis (green tea) catechins.  Niacinamide restores cellular vitality, and repairs DNA and sun UV rays’ immunosuppressive effects, which protect your skin against stresses that cause wrinkles and discoloration. As niacinamide is an excellent brightening component, it removes hyperpigmentation and gives you an even skin tone. Niacinamide prevents pigment transfer in your skin, which removes brown spots. Time to See the Result You get a brighter skin tone after using niacinamide products for 3 months. Ascorbic Acid What is it? Ascorbic acid, called “Vitamin C” in primary form, can whiten your skin as an ingredient of skin tightening products. The topical application of ascorbic acid products can replenish skin concentrations. How Does it Work? With everyday application, you will get brighter and more youthful skin. OTC creams containing Vitamin C have a slight pigment-lightening effect. Ascorbyl glucoside reduces the common types of hyperpigmentation, such as melasma and age spots, which occurs because it blocks the tyrosinase action, which forms melanin.  Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP), a Vitamin C stable derivative, controls

The skin tightening market size is poised to grow at a 6.8% CAGR between 2020 and 2027. Skin getting loose or sagging is common as you grow older because of the decrease in molecules, which maintain its elasticity, hydration, and firmness. Many people belonging to the ages of 35 to 40 years, experience loosening in their skin because of various reasons.  With regular exercising, taking supplements, and trying other things, you may tighten your loose skin. However, if you don’t get the desired results with such approaches, you can get them with our loose skin treatment in Bengaluru.  At CNF, our doctor will check your loose skin, identify the reasons behind it, and then suggest the right treatment to tighten your skin. Causes Of Loose Skin Here are the key causes of loose skin: Aging Aging is unavoidable and one of the most common causes of loose skin. With aging, the elastin and collagen production decreases in your skin, which maintains its elasticity and firmness. Elastin fibers bounce back your skin from stretching and give different expressions.  Whereas, collagen adds structure to your skin. As you grow older, the effects of exposure of your skin to harmful external elements get more intense, which makes your skin looser every day. Sun Exposure Consistent sun exposure can damage the elasticity in your skin much quicker than aging. Skin damage caused due to exposure to UVA/UVB rays may affect and mutate its DNA, which causes the death premature cells and the breakdown of elastin and collagen in the epidermis. Weight Loss Rapid weight loss, pregnancy or bariatric surgery may loss of the volume in your skin. The ligaments stretch and the fat layer under your skin gets thinner as you lose weight quickly. The quick volume loss gives less time for your skin to contract properly. It requires a little bit of time to adjust to your new body shape and structure. Smoking. Smoking causes premature aging of your skin. The cigarettes' nicotine content may narrowdown the blood vessels in your skin’s topmost layer, which damages your skin anddecreases nutrients and oxygen in your cells. The cells die when your skin is without natural nutrients, which reduces the production of elastin and collagen in your body. Non-Surgical Loose Skin Treatments Surgeries aren’t the only solution to tighten your loose skin. You can do these non-surgicaltreatments below to get the desired results: Topical Creams and Lotions Apply retinoid cream on your skin every day to enhance its texture and diminish theappearance of fine lines. Use products containing peptides or hyaluronic acid as they helpstimulate collagen production in your skin. You can also take supplements containinghyaluronic acid to get the same results.  Regular Exercise Exercise can build muscle mass, which reduces the appearance of loose skin, mainly if it has occurred due to weight loss. When extra fat distends your skin for a long period, it loses its capability of shrinking with losing weight. As muscle mass replaces the lost fat, it decreases the loose skin. Subcutaneous fat also makes your skin look loose. Getting rid of it can tighten your skin. You Deserve Personalised Perfection. Book Now Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Treatments. At CNF in Bengaluru, you can opt for these non-surgical treatment options: Radiofrequency (RF) Therapy. RF therapy is one of the most effective treatments to tighten your sagging skin and make you look younger than your age. RF devices generate heat with electromagnetic waves, which penetrate deep inside your skin and boost the production of new skin cells, elastin, and collagen. Such proteins add flexibility and strength to skin cells, which tightens your loose skin.  RF therapy also enhances your skin tone and texture and reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage spots. You can see improvements in 2 to 6 months. More than 2 sessions may be required for the best results. With proper care, the effects may stay for 1 to 3 years. HIFU Treatment High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive treatment, which appliesultrasound energy to the skin layer immediately under the surface, which quickly heats tissues. As the targeted areas cells reach a high temperature, they damage which stimulates them to produce more collagen and tighten your skin. This treatment mostly suits people above 30 years of age with mild to medium-level skin laxity.  Older people with high skin laxity or extremely loose skin on the neck should avoid HIFU as they may require surgery. Besides tightening your skin, HIFU reduces the appearance of wrinkles, gives you smooth skin, tightens the cottage, defines the jawline, and lifts your eyebrows, eyelids, and cheeks. It delivers full results in 3 months with no recovery time. Dermapen Microneedling   The Dermapen microneedling pen contains a spring-loaded needle tip and sterile needles that help tighten your loose skin. The needles create punctures on the dermis and epidermis. This treatment involves applying an automated vibrating motion like a stamp to make punctures, mainly like wounds, on your sagging skin, which boosts elastin and collagen production. As the human body produces less collagen with aging, Dermapen microneedling is considered to be one of the best skin tightening treatments. It also improves your body’s capabilities of self-healing.   Laser Treatments Laser treatment tightens your

TL;DR Global Skin-Lightening Market: In 2017, the global skin-lightening market was valued at approximately $4.8 billion and is projected to reach $8.9 billion by 2027. Common Issue: Uneven Skin Tone: Uneven skin tone, characterized by dark spots or hyperpigmentation, is a common issue among individuals of all skin types and ages. Causes of Uneven Skin Tone: Key causes include consistent sun exposure, pollution, hormonal imbalance (e.g., melasma), inflammatory hyperpigmentation (resulting from skin injuries or acne), and aging. Skin Types Prone to Uneven Tone: Individuals with darker skin tones are more prone to hyperpigmentation due to higher melanin content. Protection from UV rays is crucial for preventing and managing pigmentation issues. Treatment Possibilities: Uneven skin tone can be treated over time, depending on the cause. Treatments include over-the-counter products, medical facials, and advanced treatments. Results Timeframe: Improving uneven skin tone takes time. With proper care and treatment, you can start seeing results in at least 30 days, while advanced treatments offer more immediate improvements. In 2017, the global skin-lightening market value amounted to about 4.8 billion and is forecasted to reach some 8.9 billion by 2027. Having an uneven skin tone is quite common among people of all ages with different types of skin. With the application of the best cosmetics and makeup products, you can make your skin tone look even and flawless. However, the results wash away with a face wash. It doesn’t look good when your uneven skin tone develops into dark spots or blotchy patches, called “hyperpigmentation”.  Nothing like perfect skin exists in this world, but you can always get an even skin tone with our advanced treatment. At CNF in Bengaluru, our doctor will check the condition of uneven skin tone and perform the right treatment to even it out.    Causes of Uneven Skin Tone Here are the key causes of skin tone. Consistent Sun Exposure When your skin gets exposed to harmful sun UV rays, it damages your skin. Dark or brown spots, called sunspots, are the outcome of excess melanin production to protect your skin from harmful rays.  Pollution Gasses and particles emitted from traffic-related air pollution may penetrate your skin and cause dark spots, mostly on your face. Hormonal Imbalance. The hormonal imbalance boosts melanin production and causes melasma, a hormone-related hyperpigmentation. As pregnant women tend to have melasma, it is also called a “pregnancy mask”.  You can also have melasma because of taking contraceptives/medications or as a reaction to using makeup and skincare products.  Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation Skin injuries or acne lesions cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is the darkening of your skin because of scarring   Aging. Older adults may have a more uneven complexion than young people because of sun exposure and medications that intensify hyperpigmentation. Some researchers have specified that hyperpigmentation issues, such as melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, may develop on all types of skin as they grow older.  Skin Types Prone to Uneven Tone. Dry skin is caused due to both interior and exterior factors. Your skin tends to get dry and crack because of a lack of moisture. It gets very sore and the tone looks uneven. Plus, your damaged skin will look more discolored and patchy than non-affected parts. Even though any person may develop an uneven skin tone, people with darker skin tones are more prone to hyperpigmentation. Asian, Hispanic, or African descent have more melanin content in their skin, which causes discoloration. Can Uneven Skin Tone Be Completely Eliminated? Yes, uneven skin tone can be eliminated but takes a long period. First, you should wait and see if your skin tone gets even over time. Pregnancy-related/Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation usually requires no treatment as it gets resolved in a few months. Dermatology and medical treatments may help if it doesn’t care for itself. You should also identify the cause of uneven skin tone. If a birth control pill/skin product causes hyperpigmentation, stop taking it to reduce the appearance of dark spots in 6 to 12 months.  If an inherent skin disorder causes uneven tone, the right treatment can help it fade away and prevent hyperpigmentation. Many OTC products may also treat uneven tone issues. Most of such products contain skin-brightening ingredients such as glycolic acid, vitamin C, retinol, niacinamide, salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid, hydroquinone, and cortisone. At our clinic, you can do medical facials to treat uneven skin tone. We use medicated products to add the required nutrients and hydration to your skin, which enhances your skin tone and texture. You may require advanced treatments to get a long-lasting glow on your face.    How Long Does It Take to See Results? Uneven skin can’t be fixed quickly. It takes a minimum of 30 days to get an even skin tone with proper skin care and treatment. With our advanced skin treatments, you can see an immediate improvement. As you take more sessions, you get better results, and your skin tone evens out.  You Deserve Personalised Perfection. Book Now 6 Best Treatments for Uneven Skin Tone Here are the treatments you can do at our clinic in Bengaluru to treat your uneven skin tone: Chemical Peels Chemical peels can deeply exfoliate your skin and remove the affected skin cells with a chemical solution to reveal fresh skin. The peeling can fix uneven skin tone/discoloration, reduce the appearance of scars and other blemishes, and enhance the overall texture.  The strength of chemical peels depends on the level of your uneven skin tone, and the skin-penetrating abilities of the solution to be used. Superficial peel, the mildest chemical peel, is required to be repeated every 3 to 5 weeks for the best results. Your skin can heal in a week. The medium peel removes your upper damaged skin layer, requires repeated sessions for the best results, and about 2 weeks for healing. Deep peel uses strong acids to remove dead skin cells even from the deepest skin layer and requires 2 to 3 weeks to heal.  Glutathione Injections  Glutathione injections are a great choice to treat an uneven skin

TL;DR Melasma is a common skin issue, especially in pregnant patients, with a prevalence ranging from 15% to 50% depending on the population. It can also be triggered by factors like sunlight exposure, tanning beds, thyroid disorders, stress, and certain medications. Differentiating between melasma and hyperpigmentation can be challenging, with melasma typically appearing as blotchy patches on the face. Home remedies for melasma include sun protection, skin-lightening lotions, natural ingredients like turmeric and lemon, relaxation activities, and a healthy diet. Treatment options for melasma include topical treatments, chemical peels, laser therapy, and glutathione injections, with CNF in Bengaluru offering customized treatments using advanced technologies and expert dermatologists. Melasma is present in 15% to 50% of pregnant patients. The prevalence varies between 1.5% and 33%, depending on the population. Many pregnant females can see freckles and blotchy patches, sometimes known as the “mask of pregnancy”. Some women also notice melasma on their skin when they take birth control pills. Melasma may disappear when you stop taking birth control pills or deliver a baby. However, you don’t need to worry if your melasma doesn’t fade away on its own.  Our dermatologist can treat your melasma completely. At CNF in Bengaluru, a skilled dermatologist can check your skin condition and customize the right treatment to cure your concerns.  What is Melasma? Melasma is a common skin issue among women, which looks like freckle-like spots or flat patches that are darker than your complexion. It usually appears on your face, forehead, cheeks, upper lips, and even the forearms. Melasma can occur on any part of your skin exposed to harmful sun rays. It tends to lighten and darken over time, which worsens during summer and improves in the winter.  Causes of Melasma Here are the most common causes of melasma: Pregnancy Hormones, such as progesterone and estrogen, increase during your pregnancy, which triggers melasma.  Sunlight Exposure As sunlight touches your skin, your body produces more melanin. Thus, melasma occurs in the most sun-exposed areas on your body, such as your face, arms, and neck.  Tanning Beds A tanning bed/sun lamp usually produces harsher UV rays than sunlight. Your skin exposed to UV light causes your body to create more pigments. They appear uneven sometimes and cause melasma freckle-like spots and blotchy patches.  Thyroid Disorder A thyroid is a gland in your neck, which produces hormones that do vital functions, such as controlling heartbeats and breaking down eaten food. A thyroid gland complication increases the risk of developing melasma. Once you cure your thyroid disease, it reduces the appearance of melasma spots.  Stress Stress may also cause melasma as it makes your body produce more cortisol. The increased cortisol may develop melasma on your skin.  Certain Medications Some medications may cause melasma on your skin. Anti-seizure medicines, birth control or oral contraceptive pills, retinoids, some blood pressure medicines, and antibiotics may trigger melasma.  Differences Between Hyperpigmentation and Melasma It’s difficult to differentiate between hyperpigmentation and melasma as both look like dark patches on your skin. The hormonal element differs in melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Melasma usually looks like blotchy patches on your face, mainly the forehead, nose, cheeks, upper lip, and chin. It sometimes affects your upper back, neck, arms, and body parts exposed to sunlight. The symptoms of melasma in most people deteriorate in the summer months. Hyperpigmentation appears as bigger dark patches, dark spots, sun spots, and freckles. It can appear on smaller parts of your face or extend to the trunk, face, and extremities.  You Deserve Personalised Perfection. Book Now How to Cure Melasma at Home Here are the home remedies to treat melasma: Protect Your Skin from the Sun Apply sunscreen lotion or cream at least 15 minutes before stepping outside your home. The application of two layers of two layers of SPF sunscreen gives you double protection from sun rays. Try to wear full pants, full-sleeved tops, and a hat to protect your body from the sun’s heat.  Apply Skin Lightening Lotions Skin-lightening lotions containing melaplex or kojic acid can reduce the appearance of melasma spots. Such ingredients slow down skin darkening and make it tough for melasma to get inside your skin. Use Natural Ingredients on Your Skin Turmeric, lemon, papaya, aloe vera, onion, and cucumber are natural solutions to give you melasma-free skin. Turmeric and lemon act as antioxidants and bleaching agents to reduce the appearance of melasma spots naturally. Ripe and raw papaya mixed with honey can be a good remedy for melasma. Fresh aloe vera juice, onion juice, and cucumber can lighten the marks on your skin.  Do Relaxing Activities Hormonal imbalance and stress are two of the most common causes of melasma. So, perform relaxing activities, such as yoga and walking, to feel relaxed.  Follow a Healthy Diet Melasma is a skin disorder that may also indicate malnutrition. So, intake maximum antioxidants and vitamins, mainly foods rich in vitamins C and E, such as whole grains, nuts, almonds, green leafy vegetables, flax seeds, and salmon fish. Plus, folate-rich food as its deficiency may cause melasma. Best Treatment Options for Melasma Here are the most effective treatment options to cure melasma:  1. Topical Treatments You can find numerous topical agents to treat melasma. Hydroquinone is one of the most effective topical treatments for melasma as it evens out your skin with everyday application. Other effective topical agents for melasma treatment are steroids, retinoids, niacinamide, kojic acid, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, ascorbic acid, azelaic acid, and tranexamic acid. The triple combination therapy, comprising steroid, retinoid, and hydroquinone, is clinically efficient and well-known as a first-line treatment for melasma. 2. Chemical Peels Chemical peels are a popular treatment for melasma. The chemical agent application on your skin controls the damage on your epidermis with/without the dermis. This treatment involves exfoliation, removing superficial lesions, and regenerating new dermal tissues. The peels remove the excess melanin with controlled burning of the skin. The treated areas take approximately 1 to 2 weeks to heal post a medium chemical peel. However,
