Pigmentation
Advanced Pigmentation & Melasma Treatment
Clear, Even-Toned Skin Through Medical Science.
Pigmentation is more than just “dark spots”—it is a medical condition caused by excess melanin production deep within the skin. At PRISTINE RADIANCE, we move beyond surface bleaching creams. Dr. Pratyush More, a Board-Certified Dermatologist, diagnoses the specific type of pigmentation—whether it’s hormonal Melasma, sun-induced tanning, or Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)—to provide targeted, long-lasting relief.
What is Pigmentation?
- Pigmentation refers to changes in the natural color of the skin due to the production of melanin (a pigment responsible for skin tone).
- It can appear as hyperpigmentation (dark patches) or hypopigmentation (light patches).
- Commonly seen as:
- Melasma: Brown or gray patches, often on the face.
- Sunspots: Dark spots caused by sun exposure.
- Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark marks left after acne, injuries.
- Hyperpigmentation:
- Dark spots, freckles, or patches.
- Brown or black discoloration varying in size and intensity.
- Affected Areas:
- Most common on sun-exposed areas like the face, hands, and shoulders.
Types of Pigmentation We Treat:
- Melasma: Stubborn brown or grey patches on the cheeks and forehead, often hormonal.
- Sun Spots (Lentigines): Freckles and age spots caused by UV damage.
- Post-Acne Marks: Dark spots left behind after pimples heal.
- Periorbital Melanosis: Stubborn dark circles under the eyes.
Our Medical Solutions:
- Q-Switched Laser Toning: A gold-standard technology that shatters excess melanin pigment into micro-particles, which the body then naturally clears away.
- Chemical Peels: Customized medical-grade peels (Glycolic, Kojic, Yellow Peel) to exfoliate pigmented layers and reveal fresh skin.
- Mesotherapy: Direct infusion of skin-brightening agents (Vitamin C, Glutathione) into the dermis.
