Pigmentation & Melasma at a glance

What is pigmentation & melasma?

Pigmentation treatment lightens dark patches caused by excess melanin — such as melasma, sun spots, freckles and post-acne marks — using depigmenting creams, chemical peels and low-energy laser toning matched to Indian skin.

Hyperpigmentation results from excess melanin produced by overactive melanocytes. Melasma — symmetrical brown patches on the cheeks, forehead and upper lip — is influenced by UV and visible light, hormones and genetics, and tends to recur without maintenance.

We use Wood’s lamp and dermoscopy to identify whether pigment is epidermal, dermal or mixed, then combine tyrosinase inhibitors, chemical peels and low-fluence Q-switched Nd:YAG laser toning for safe, gradual clearance in Indian skin types.

How the treatment works

1. Pigment analysis — Wood’s lamp and dermoscopy classify the pigment type and depth.
2. Priming — 2–4 weeks of prescription depigmenting creams to calm melanocytes.
3. Peels & laser toning — Glycolic, lactic or combination peels alternated with Q-switched laser sessions.
4. Maintenance — Monthly sessions tapering to quarterly, with broad-spectrum tinted sunscreen.

Frequently asked questions

Can melasma be cured permanently?

Melasma is a chronic condition. It can be controlled very well, but triggers like sun and hormones can bring it back, so maintenance matters.

Are laser treatments safe for Indian skin?

Yes, when using appropriate low-fluence settings by trained dermatologists. Aggressive lasers can worsen pigmentation, which is why we avoid them.

How soon will I see results?

Most patients notice lightening after 3–4 sessions, around 4–8 weeks in.
