Pigmentation and melasma treatment in Dubai
Consult Dr. Zaheer Abbas at SKIN111 about dark spots, uneven skin tone or suspected melasma. Appointments in DIFC and Palm Jumeirah begin with identifying the concern before choosing a cream, peel or laser treatment.
What to discuss at your appointment ↓
Why a diagnosis matters
Melasma and other causes of pigmentation can look similar. A skin examination, and occasionally additional investigation, helps determine what is being treated rather than choosing a procedure from a photograph alone.
Sun protection and a treatment plan
Melasma care commonly combines sun protection with topical treatment. A broad spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30, shade and a hat are useful measures. A tinted sunscreen containing iron oxides may be discussed.
Is laser always needed?
No. Selected procedures may complement a medical plan, but melasma does not have one best treatment for everyone. Ask why a procedure is proposed and how it fits with your skin tone, existing routine and maintenance.
Is this treatment right for me?
Discuss pregnancy or breastfeeding, medicines, previous reactions and products already used. Your priorities, skin findings and previous treatment response guide the options. Ask about irritation, pigment changes and recovery for the actual treatment proposed.
Progress and maintenance
Melasma can be persistent and needs a realistic plan rather than a promise of permanent removal. Agree how improvement will be assessed and what ongoing care is expected.
Your questions
Which treatment is best for dark spots on my face?
An examination is needed to identify the cause and match the plan to your skin. The same treatment is not appropriate for every dark spot.
Can I book specifically for melasma?
Yes. Tell the SKIN111 team your concern and bring your current skincare products or a list of their names.
How much does pigmentation treatment cost in Dubai?
Ask for a quotation after diagnosis and discussion of the proposed treatment. Confirm the costs of medicines, procedures and reviews separately.
