Pigmentation Treatment

Pigmentation is a multi-factor condition — sun, hormones, inflammation, vascular component. We investigate the cause first, then layer the right combination of topicals, peels, and gentle light-based therapy.

FAQ

Common questions about Pigmentation Treatment.

Can melasma be cured?

Melasma is best thought of as managed rather than cured. With consistent care most patients see significant lightening and long-term control.

Is laser safe for Indian skin?

Yes — at low fluence, with an experienced operator. Aggressive parameters can worsen pigmentation; we calibrate carefully.
