Melasma
Hormone- and sun-related patches on the cheeks, forehead or upper lip, treated as part of a long-term plan.
Melasma careTargeted, doctor-prescribed peels for stubborn skin concerns — ₹5,000 per month, with the plan set by your consultant.
A medical peel is a peel chosen, prescribed and performed by a doctor for a specific skin problem — such as melasma, stubborn pigmentation, acne marks or uneven texture. It is usually stronger or more targeted than a routine glow peel, and it is planned together with home-care creams and sun protection. At Kezza Clinic, medical peels are planned by Dr. Amrita Mukhija and Dr. Neelam Choudhary. A session costs ₹5,000 per month, and the number of sessions is decided by your consultant.
See medical peel cost and planA medical peel starts with understanding what is causing the problem, because melasma, acne marks and sun damage each need a different plan.
Many people try over-the-counter creams or salon facials for pigmentation and see little change. Stubborn problems — melasma, long-standing sun damage, dark marks after acne — often need a plan that treats the cause, not just the surface. A medical peel is one part of that plan.
The difference from a routine peel is the medical process around it. Your doctor first works out what kind of pigment or texture problem you have and how deep it is. The skin is then primed for a few weeks with prescribed creams and sunscreen, which makes results more even and lowers the risk of dark marks. The peel itself is selected for the condition — doctors may use combination depigmenting peels, or low-strength trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or Jessner's peels — and applied in measured layers.
Medical peels are usually spaced about a month apart, which is why the price at Kezza is ₹5,000 per month. How many sessions you need is decided by your consultant, based on how your skin responds.
For conditions like melasma there is no one-time cure. Peels can lighten it, and continued sun protection and maintenance keep it under control. Laser toning with a Q-switch laser is sometimes combined with peels in the same plan.
A medical peel session costs ₹5,000 and is usually done once a month. Your consultant decides the number of sessions after seeing how your skin responds.

A chemical peel at Kezza is a superficial peel for glow, tan, mild acne and texture (₹2,500 per session). A medical peel is prescribed by a doctor for a diagnosed problem such as melasma or stubborn pigmentation, is usually stronger or more targeted, and comes with priming creams and monthly reviews (₹5,000 per month).
At Kezza Clinic, a medical peel costs ₹5,000 per monthly session. The number of sessions is decided by your consultant after examining your skin and seeing how it responds.
It depends on the diagnosis and how your skin responds. Sessions are usually about a month apart, and your doctor reviews progress at each visit before deciding on the next step.
Yes, usually a few days. Your skin may feel tight and peel or flake for several days, so it is best not to plan a big event in the week after a session.
No treatment cures melasma permanently, because hormones, heat and light keep triggering it. A medical peel can lighten it, and sun protection and maintenance help keep it under control.
They can be, when the peel is chosen for your skin type and the skin is primed first. Darker skin is more prone to dark marks after irritation, so strength, timing and sun protection are planned carefully.
Many depigmenting treatments are avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tell your doctor, who will advise what is safe and may suggest waiting.
