Pigmentation and photoaging are closely linked to cumulative sun exposure and the natural aging process. Over time, UV radiation causes changes within the skin, including increased and uneven melanin production, oxidative stress and damage to the skin’s extracellular matrix. This can result in uneven pigmentation, visible sun damage, fine lines and changes in skin texture.
At Eternis Skin, Hair, Laser & Aesthetics Clinic, Pune, personalised pigmentation and photoaging treatment is planned based on your skin type, pigmentation concerns, and extent of sun damage to deliver targeted and effective results.
Selected peels can help reduce superficial pigmentation, improve uneven tone and promote skin renewal.
Depending on the type of pigmentation, selected laser and light-based treatments can target excess melanin and improve solar lentigines and other forms of sun- induced pigmentation.
Sunscreen remains the foundation of pigmentation management. Depigmenting agents, retinoids and antioxidants may be prescribed depending on the condition.
Can improve photoaging by stimulating collagen remodeling and improving fine lines, texture and selected pigmentation concerns.
Treatments such as PDRN, polynucleotides and other skin-quality treatments can support skin repair and improve overall skin quality, although they are not primary treatments for pigmentation.
Not all pigmentation is the same. Melasma, solar lentigines, post-inflammatory
pigmentation and diffuse photodamage require different approaches. Some pigmentation can also worsen with inappropriate or overly aggressive treatment.
At Eternis, pigmentation is assessed before choosing a treatment, with emphasis on
accurate diagnosis, sun protection and a personalised combination of skincare, peels and procedures.
Important: Treating pigmentation is not just about removing existing spots. Long-
term control requires addressing the underlying triggers and protecting the skin from
further UV exposure.
The ideal approach to pigmentation varies according to its underlying cause. Consistent use of broad-spectrum sunscreen, along with dermatologist-recommended ingredients such as hydroquinone, retinoids, vitamin C, or azelaic acid, can help improve uneven skin tone and pigmentation
Pigmentation cannot always be eliminated permanently. While treatments can significantly reduce or clear certain pigmentation, such as sun spots and post-acne marks, factors like hormonal changes and UV exposure may cause pigmentation to return. Ongoing skincare and sun protection can help maintain the results.
Completely clearing pigmentation within 30 days is generally not realistic. With consistent, dermatologist-recommended skincare and sun protection, visible improvement in dark spots may begin within a few weeks, while more noticeable results often take several weeks to months. The timeline depends on the type and severity of pigmentation and the treatment approach.
The number of pigmentation treatment sessions varies depending on the type, depth, and severity of pigmentation. Mild pigmentation may improve with a few sessions, while stubborn concerns such as melasma may require a longer treatment plan. Sessions are usually scheduled at appropriate intervals to allow the skin to recover and achieve optimal results.
Skin pigmentation may not always be completely eliminated, but appropriate treatment and consistent sun protection can significantly reduce its appearance and help prevent recurrence. Some forms, such as post-inflammatory pigmentation, may clear completely with the right care.
At Eternis Skin, Hair, Laser & Aesthetics Clinic at Erandwane, Pune. Pigmentation is first evaluated to determine its underlying cause and severity. Treatment may then include personalised skincare, chemical peels, or advanced procedures, along with consistent sun protection to support better and longer-lasting results.
