FAQs
Common Questions
Everything patients typically want to know before treatment, answered by our clinical team.
Pigmentation comes in several types -- melasma (hormonal, often on cheeks and forehead), sun spots (from UV exposure), post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or PIH (dark marks left after acne or injuries), and hormonal pigmentation. Each looks different and requires a different treatment strategy. Dr. Shruti will diagnose your specific type during your consultation.
Some types like sun spots and PIH can be significantly reduced or fully cleared. Melasma, which is hormonal, can be controlled and lightened significantly but may require ongoing maintenance. Dr. Shruti will set realistic expectations based on your specific type and give you a clear plan.
Most patients see visible lightening after 2-3 sessions and significant improvement by 4-6 sessions. The exact number depends on the type of pigmentation, its depth (epidermal, dermal, or mixed), and how your skin responds. Dr. Shruti will outline a timeline during your first visit.
Yes. Dr. Shruti uses protocols specifically calibrated for Indian skin tones (Fitzpatrick III-V). The key is proper diagnosis and using the right settings -- aggressive treatment can worsen pigmentation in darker skin tones, which is why we take a careful, gradual approach.
It depends on the type. Sun spots won't return if you maintain sun protection. PIH fades permanently once treated. Melasma can recur with sun exposure, hormonal changes, or if maintenance isn't followed. That's why we provide a prevention plan alongside treatment.
Melasma is primarily driven by hormonal factors -- pregnancy, birth control pills, and hormonal fluctuations. Sun exposure is the biggest trigger that worsens it. Genetics also play a role. It's more common in women and in people with darker skin tones. Treatment needs to address both the hormonal component and sun protection.
Over-the-counter brightening creams typically contain low concentrations of active ingredients and only work on surface-level pigmentation. If your pigmentation is dermal (deeper layer) or hormonal, OTC products simply can't reach it. Some products can even worsen certain types. Professional treatment combines multiple modalities to target pigment at every depth.
Most patients notice visible lightening after 2-3 sessions. Significant improvement typically happens by session 4-6. Surface pigmentation responds faster than deeper pigmentation. Consistency with treatment sessions and strict sun protection are the biggest factors in how quickly you'll see results.
Yes -- in fact, that's our recommended approach. Combining laser toning with chemical peels and prescription topicals targets pigment at multiple depths simultaneously, which gives faster and better results than any single treatment alone. Dr. Shruti will design the right combination for your specific case.
Pricing depends on the type of pigmentation, the treatment modalities needed, and the number of sessions. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees. WhatsApp us with a photo of your concern and we'll give you a clear estimate before you commit to anything.
Sun protection is absolutely critical for pigmentation treatment. Sun exposure is the number one reason pigmentation recurs or worsens. You'll need SPF 50+ every single day (even indoors near windows), reapplied every 2-3 hours when outdoors. This is non-negotiable for results.
Melasma appears as symmetrical brown patches, usually on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip -- it's hormonal. Sun spots are small, well-defined dark spots from UV exposure. PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) refers to dark marks left behind after acne, injuries, or inflammation. Each requires a different treatment strategy.
Yes, when done correctly. The Q-switched laser we use for toning is specifically chosen because it's gentle enough for Indian skin tones. The key is using the right settings and energy levels. Dr. Shruti has extensive experience treating pigmentation in South Asian skin safely, without the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Yes. Hormonal changes during pregnancy commonly trigger melasma, sometimes called the "mask of pregnancy." It typically appears on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip. Some cases resolve after delivery, but many persist. Treatment is best started after pregnancy and breastfeeding, though sun protection should be maintained throughout.
While diet alone won't cause or cure pigmentation, certain nutrients support skin health. Vitamin C, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids can help your skin repair. Deficiencies in iron, B12, or folic acid can sometimes contribute to skin changes. However, the biggest controllable factors are sun protection, hormonal management, and professional treatment.
