Pigmentation Treatment in Gurgaon
Pigmentation on the face is one of the most undertreated skin concerns in India — not because solutions don't exist, but because most people receive the wrong treatment for the wrong type of pigmentation. At Dermatales, pigmentation treatment in Gurgaon begins not with a procedure, but with a precise dermatological evaluation.
Dr. Pooja Varshney (MBBS, MD Dermatology, Fellowship in Cosmetology) has spent over 10 years managing pigmentation conditions across a wide spectrum of Indian skin tones. With 15,000+ patients treated across Gurgaon and Delhi, her approach is grounded in one principle: treat the cause, not just the colour.
Types of Pigmentation Treated at Dermatales
Melasma
Brown or greyish patches on the cheeks, forehead, bridge of the nose, and upper lip. Often fluctuates with hormonal changes and sun exposure. Requires a combination approach and long-term maintenance.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Dark spots left after acne lesions, skin injuries, or procedures. Depth varies; treatment is tailored accordingly.
Sun Spots / Solar Lentigines
Flat, well-defined patches caused by cumulative UV damage. Respond well to laser toning and targeted peels.
Freckles
Small, scattered brown macules that intensify with sun exposure. Manageable with a combination of laser and photoprotection.
Periorbital Hyperpigmentation (Dark Circles)
Often multi-factorial: vascular, structural, or pigment-based. Correct diagnosis is essential before any treatment is initiated.
Lichen Planus Pigmentosus / Riehl's Melanosis
Less commonly diagnosed but relatively prevalent in Indian skin. These require careful clinical evaluation and a more conservative treatment protocol.
Treatment Approach: Diagnosis First, Procedure Second
At Dermatales, every treatment begins with a detailed skin assessment. Dr. Pooja Varshney evaluates your skin type (Fitzpatrick scale), pigmentation depth, medical history, and lifestyle factors to create a personalised plan. The treatment approach is typically structured across three phases:
Phase 1 — Skin Preparation
Priming the skin with prescription-grade topicals to reduce inflammation, stabilise the melanin cycle, and improve tolerance for procedures. This phase usually spans two to four weeks.
Phase 2 — Active Treatment
In-clinic procedures performed at clinically appropriate intervals. The type, intensity, and frequency of treatment are calibrated to your skin's response at each session.
Phase 3 — Maintenance & Prevention
Post-treatment care with medical-grade sun protection, targeted home-care activities, and periodic in-clinic sessions to sustain results and prevent recurrence.
Treatment Options for Skin Pigmentation
Laser Toning (Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser)
The most established laser treatment for pigmentation in Indian skin tones. The laser selectively targets melanin deposits without damaging surrounding tissue, breaking down excess pigment and stimulating collagen remodelling. Particularly effective for melasma, sun spots, and post-inflammatory darkening. Multiple sessions — typically 4 to 8 — are required for sustained results.
Chemical Peels (Medical Grade)
Superficial to medium-depth peels — including glycolic acid, mandelic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid formulations — exfoliate the pigment-laden upper layers of skin and accelerate cell turnover.
Cosmelan / Dermamelan Depigmentation Protocol
Intensive depigmentation systems particularly suited to moderate-to-severe melasma and hormonal pigmentation. The protocol combines an in-clinic application with a structured home-care regimen over several weeks. Results are visible within 4 to 6 weeks.
Prescription Topical Therapy
Customised combinations of retinoids, azelaic acid, kojic acid, tranexamic acid, vitamin C derivatives, and niacinamide are prescribed alongside in-clinic procedures.
Hydrafacial with Brightening Infusion
A non-invasive, zero-downtime procedure combining deep cleansing, exfoliation, and infusion of brightening serums. Effective for mild surface-level pigmentation and tan, and serves as a useful maintenance treatment between more intensive sessions.
