Results vary with skin type, the depth of pigmentation and sun protection after treatment.
Treatments for pigmentation
Your doctor uses one of these, or a combination, depending on your skin check.
| Treatment | Usually suits | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Pico laser | Melasma, sun spots, deeper or stubborn pigment | Very short laser pulses break pigment into tiny particles. Little downtime. |
| Advanced chemical peels | Acne marks, tanning, dull and uneven skin | A controlled peel lifts darkened surface cells. Light flaking for a few days. |
| Microneedling | Acne marks with uneven texture | Fine needles prompt the skin to renew itself. Redness for a day or two. |
| Skin lightening treatment | Tanning and overall uneven tone | A course planned around your skin type, usually combined with peels. |
| Body pigmentation care | Underarms, neck, knees and elbows | Peels and laser chosen for the area, with a check for any underlying cause. |
Most people need a series of sessions a few weeks apart. Your doctor tells you how many at your consultation.

Common questions
Anything else? Ask us on WhatsApp.
Can pigmentation be removed permanently?
Many spots and marks can be cleared. Melasma can be controlled very well but tends to return with sun and hormonal changes, so a maintenance plan is part of treatment.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the type and depth of your pigmentation. Most people need a series of sessions a few weeks apart. Your doctor gives you a number at the consultation.
Is laser safe for Indian skin?
Yes, when the laser and its settings are chosen for your skin type. That is why your skin is checked before any laser session.
Is there downtime?
Usually very little. Expect mild redness for a few hours after laser, or light flaking for a few days after a peel.
How much does treatment cost?
The price depends on the treatment and the number of sessions you need. You get the full cost at your consultation, before you start.
Are acne marks permanent?
Flat dark marks left after acne usually fade with peels or laser. Pitted acne scars are different and need treatments such as microneedling. The doctor tells you which you have.
Can I get a facial along with pigmentation treatment?
Yes. Medical facials are often planned between pigmentation sessions to keep skin calm and hydrated.
