Overview
About Pigmentation Treatment At Skin Essence
Pigmentation is the umbrella term for skin that has become darker in patches or spots: sun tan on the face and arms, dark marks after acne, melasma on the cheeks and forehead, freckles, and darkening around the mouth, underarms, neck or knees. Indian skin, mostly Fitzpatrick type IV to V, produces melanin readily, which is why marks appear quickly and fade slowly.
Effective treatment starts with a diagnosis, because the causes differ. Dr. Daksha Patel, an MD dermatologist, examines the pigmentation under magnification to judge whether it sits in the surface layer, deeper in the dermis, or both, and checks for triggers such as sun, hormones, friction and the steroid-based 'fairness' creams that are still sold over the counter across Pune.
The plan combines a prescription lightening routine and strict sun protection with in-clinic sessions such as chemical peels and laser toning at our Kalyani Nagar clinic. Pigmentation responds well but slowly, and it returns if sunscreen is dropped, so maintenance is part of the plan from the start.

What To Expect
How Pigmentation Treatment Works At Skin Essence
- 01
Diagnosis and triggers
The type and depth of pigmentation are assessed under magnification. Products you use are reviewed, and blood tests are advised if a hormonal or metabolic cause is suspected.
- 02
Home routine
A broad-spectrum sunscreen and prescription lightening agents such as azelaic acid, kojic acid, arbutin or retinoids are chosen for your skin type and started before procedures.
- 03
In-clinic sessions
Chemical peels every 2 to 4 weeks, and Q-switched Nd:YAG laser toning on the Qyros platform every 3 to 4 weeks, lift surface pigment and calm the cells that overproduce melanin.
- 04
Maintenance
Once lightened, a simpler routine and occasional sessions keep the tone even, especially through Pune's summer and monsoon sun.
