Melasma Treatment in Pune: Cost, Options & Expert Care

Say goodbye to stubborn pigmentation with science-backed aesthetics.

Melasma is one of the most common pigmentation concerns among women and men living in Pune, especially in high-sun exposure areas like Baner, Balewadi, Kalyani Nagar, Viman Nagar, and Kharadi. While makeup can temporarily hide the patches, melasma needs targeted skin care to genuinely fade and stay controlled.

If you’ve tried every cream from the market and still see those brown patches returning, you’re not alone. Melasma is a medical condition, not just “dark spots,” and requires professional treatment.

This guide explains everything you need to know before starting your melasma treatment at Bella Viso Aesthetics, Pune.

Causes of Melasma

Melasma appears due to overproduction of pigment (melanin) in the skin.
Pune’s climate and lifestyle contribute to triggers like

• Harsh sun exposure (UV rays) is the biggest cause.
• Hormonal changes (pregnancy, thyroid, PCOS)
• Stress increases cortisol and pigmentation.
• Heat exposure even from cooking
• Makeup or harsh skincare products
• Genetics and family history

Women are more prone due to hormonal influence, but men can get melasma too, especially in sunny climates like Pune.

Symptoms & How to Identify Melasma

Melasma typically appears as:

• Brown or grey patches
• Usually symmetrical on both sides
• Common areas:
  • Cheeks
  • Upper lip (giving a “mustache” look)
  • Forehead
  • Nose bridge
  • Chin

It doesn’t itch or hurt, but it can deeply impact confidence.

Early consultation prevents patches from darkening or spreading.
