Why Melasma Is So Stubborn — And So Common in Delhi
Melasma is triggered by a combination of UV exposure, heat, hormonal changes (pregnancy, contraceptive pills, thyroid imbalance) and — in a city like Delhi — high ambient pollution that adds to oxidative stress on the skin. It typically appears as symmetrical brown-grey patches on the cheeks, forehead or upper lip, and is frequently misdiagnosed as ordinary pigmentation. Treating it like a simple tan or sunspot with the wrong peel or laser setting can make melasma visibly worse.
Dr. Geetali Kharghoria — AIIMS-trained, MRCP SCE (UK) qualified — specialises in melasma management at Monaris and is one of South Delhi's most sought-after dermatologists for complex, hormonally-driven skin tone concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best treatment for melasma in Delhi?+
Treatment is tailored to melasma depth and trigger — typically a combination of tranexamic acid (oral or topical), medical-grade chemical peels, low-energy Q-switch laser toning and strict sun protection. Dr. Geetali Kharghoria determines the right combination at consultation rather than defaulting to a single treatment.
Why does melasma keep coming back after treatment?+
Melasma is a chronic condition driven by ongoing UV exposure, heat and hormones — it is managed long-term rather than cured in one course. Most relapse happens when sun protection lapses. Your dermatologist will set a maintenance plan alongside the initial treatment course.
Is melasma treatment safe for Indian and darker skin tones?+
Yes — when performed by an experienced MD dermatologist at the correct settings. Incorrect peel concentrations or laser parameters can trigger post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on darker skin, which is why melasma at Monaris is always assessed and treated by qualified MD dermatologists.
Can hormonal melasma from pregnancy or birth control be treated?+
Yes, but the approach must account for pregnancy or breastfeeding safety — some topical agents and procedures are avoided during this time. Your dermatologist will recommend a safe protocol and advise on timing for more active treatment. Book via WhatsApp +91-9818-642-643.
