Pigmentation

Skin Lightening Pigmentation Treatment

  • Freckles: These are small, flat round lesions, which occur in the lighter skin types. They tend to turn darker in summer and lighter in winter. Causative factors are genetics and sun exposure.
  • Solar Lentigines: These are flat pigmented 1to 3cm lesions present mainly on sun exposed areas. They start to appear in the third decade of life.
  • Melasma: Is a stubborn pigmentation seen mainly in women. Occasionally, men too get affected by this condition. It is characterized by a patchy tan or brown discoloration that occurs over the upper lip, cheeks, forehead, chin and bridge of the nose. The areas affected are bilateral and frequently symmetrical. The majority of cases are due to sun exposure, hormonal changes such as pregnancy, menopause, oral contraceptive pills and familial predisposition.
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): This occurs following any kind of mechanical, physical, chemical trauma. An acute or chronic inflammatory process like acne, psoriasis, drugs, cosmetics, friction, too can cause PIH. Following trauma, the pigment producing cells produce excess melanin pigment as a part of the healing process.

There are various dermatological disorders and systemic conditions including drugs and medications, which may lead to pigmentation.

  • Pigmented Contact Dermatitis : Hyperpigmentation from allergen exposure, often on face, neck, and underarms.
  • Pigmented Photo Contact Dermatitis : Caused by musk fragrances, certain drugs, and sunlight; treated by avoiding triggers and using lightening agents.
  • Lichen Planus Pigmentsosus : Common in India, difficult to treat, slate-gray to brown-black pigmentation on face, neck, limbs.
  • Macular Amyloidoses : Common in Indians, pigmentation on arms and back from friction and hot showers.
  • Pigmentation Treatment : Medical evaluation, strict sunscreen use, avoid triggers, and apply skin lightening treatments.

Patient Reviews

I had an amazing experience at Skin and Surgery International clinic in Pune. One of the best aesthetic clinics I have been to. Completely trust Dr. Nitin Jain and his team. The clinic manages to be friendly and relaxed. but also extremely professional. I am a very satisfied customer. From reception to staff to doctors, you'll receive 5-star service. The treatment I had on my dark elbow took 2 sessions, and the results were wonderful. This clinic is highly recommended for a visit.

My experience with Dr. pradeep Kumari has been really amazing. I’ve been visiting the clinic for the past 2 years and my results are great. My acne has cleared up and face has become brighter. Dr. Pradeep and rest all doctors very patiently listens to all my concerns and provides a detailed advice clearing all my doubts. My experience with the chemical procedures has also been very satisfying. All the doctors and staff there are very friendly and go to for any problems.
