Pigmentation Treatment

Treat melasma, sun spots & uneven tone at Medicutis with Laser Toning, IPL, Cosmelan, Dermamelan, PDRN & Gluta IV. Dermatologist-guided protocols for Indian skin.

Laser Toning (Q-Switched Nd:YAG)

The most trusted laser for pigmentation in Indian skin. Short pulses of laser energy break up melanin clusters and — crucially — tell your melanocytes to calm down and produce less pigment. It clears what’s there and slows what’s coming. Calibrated specifically for our skin tones.

Why patients love it:

  • Targets both surface and deep pigmentation
  • Clears melanin AND suppresses further production
  • Gradual, natural-looking brightening over sessions
  • Zero downtime — just mild redness for an hour or two
  • Safe and proven for darker Indian skin tones

Best for: Melasma, post-acne marks, tanning, freckles, generalised uneven skin tone

Chemical Peels for Pigmentation

Our pigmentation peel range is carefully chosen for Indian skin tones — each peel works differently, and your dermatologist selects the right one (or the right combination) based on your skin type and pigmentation pattern.

1. Lactic Acid Peel

Gentle brightening that hydrates while it works. Ideal for first-timers and sensitive skin.

Why patients love it:

  • Softly exfoliates and disperses melanin
  • Inhibits tyrosinase for reduced new pigment formation
  • Hydrates while brightening — no dryness after
  • Safe for sensitive and darker Indian skin
  • No downtime

Best for: Mild PIH, surface tanning, sensitive skin, beginners to peels

2. Glycolic Acid Peel

The deepest-penetrating AHA — for pigmentation that needs real resurfacing power.

Why patients love it:

  • Deep epidermal exfoliation and melanin clearance
  • Stimulates collagen alongside brightening
  • Reduces sun damage and post-acne marks
  • Progressive brightening over sessions
  • Good for combination skin

Best for: Post-acne PIH, surface melasma, sun damage

3. Yellow Peel (Retinol Peel)

Vitamin A goes to work on stubborn pigmentation that AHA peels can’t fully shift — including the deeper melasma that lives below the surface.

Why patients love it:

  • Directly inhibits melanin transfer at the cellular level
  • Reaches deeper pigmentation that AHA peels miss
  • Particularly effective for dark circles and patchy pigmentation
  • Mild 3–5 day peeling — manageable, not dramatic
  • Visible improvement from the first session

Best for: Stubborn melasma, periorbital darkening, diffuse facial pigmentation

4. MDA Glow Peel

A peel built for Indian skin — mandelic, salicylic, and kojic acids working together. Brightening AND clearing. Ideal if you have both acne and pigmentation (which is very common).

Why patients love it:

  • Triple-action: exfoliates, clears pores, and blocks melanin
  • Very low irritation — gentle enough for reactive skin
  • Addresses pigmentation and acne simultaneously
  • Visible glow improvement after the first session
  • Suitable for patients new to medical peels

Best for: Concurrent acne and pigmentation, reactive skin, first-time peel patients

5. Cosmelan Peel

The internationally recognised gold standard for melasma. A two-phase treatment — in-clinic mask plus a 3–6 month home programme — that blocks melanin at multiple levels and keeps it from coming back.

Why patients love it:

  • Comprehensive melanin pathway blockade — the most thorough depigmenting peel available
  • Highly effective for hormonal melasma
  • 3–6 month home programme maintains and extends results
  • Prevents recurrence — not just clearance
  • Visible brightening from 4–6 weeks

Best for: Moderate-to-severe melasma, hormonal pigmentation, pregnancy mask, chloasma

6. Dermamelan Peel

The intensified version — for pigmentation that hasn’t responded to other peels. Retinoic acid in the formulation takes it deeper.

Why patients love it:

  • Stronger multi-active formula for resistant pigmentation
  • Reaches dermal pigmentation that other peels can’t
  • Effective for long-standing, embedded melasma
  • Home maintenance prevents recurrence
  • For complex cases that need more

Best for: Stubborn long-standing melasma, Cosmelan-resistant pigmentation

7. PRX+ Peel for Pigmentation

The zero-downtime brightening option. TCA drives collagen production while kojic acid blocks melanin — improved skin quality and tone correction without a single day of peeling.

Why patients love it:

  • Blocks tyrosinase — reduces melanin synthesis
  • Improves skin radiance and quality simultaneously
  • Zero visible peeling or downtime
  • Safe for all skin tones
  • Ideal as maintenance between intensive peels

Best for: Mild-to-moderate pigmentation, no-downtime patients, maintenance treatments

IPL Photo Facial

Light energy that targets and breaks up discrete pigment spots — great for sun damage, freckles, and surface spots. It addresses redness too, so if you have both pigmentation and redness, IPL tackles both in one go.

Why patients love it:

  • Precisely targets discrete melanin spots
  • Treats sun damage, freckles and surface pigmentation
  • Also reduces redness and vascular irregularities
  • Stimulates collagen for overall skin improvement
  • Zero downtime

Best for: Sun spots, freckles, surface pigmentation, skin redness

Gluta IV Therapy

Skin brightening from the inside. Glutathione IV delivers the body’s most powerful antioxidant directly into your bloodstream — where it can suppress melanin production and shift skin tone system-wide. No topical product can do this.

Why patients love it:

  • Systemic brightening — works across the whole body
  • Shifts melanin production toward lighter tones
  • IV delivery achieves levels impossible with oral supplements
  • Cumulative improvement over a course of sessions
  • Also supports liver, immunity, and overall vitality

Best for: Diffuse skin dullness, generalised uneven tone, systemic brightening programme

PRP / Vampire Facial

Your own growth factors, concentrated and put to work on your skin. PRP doesn’t directly remove pigmentation — but it dramatically improves the skin environment that allows pigmentation treatments to work better and longer.

Why patients love it:

  • Activates collagen and elastin production
  • Suppresses the inflammation that drives pigmentation
  • Improves skin radiance and tissue quality
  • Accelerates healing after laser or peel sessions
  • 100% your own biology — zero allergy risk

Best for: Dull pigmented skin, PIH-prone skin, patients in combined pigmentation programmes

PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide)

Derived from salmon DNA, PDRN activates the skin’s own repair pathways — particularly the anti-inflammatory signals that keep melanocytes from going into overdrive. This is what makes it so valuable for melasma, where inflammation is a root driver.

Why patients love it:

  • Suppresses the inflammation driving melanocyte overactivity
  • Stimulates collagen and dermal matrix repair
  • Improves skin brightness, elasticity and health
  • Accelerates recovery after laser or peeling
  • Safe for all skin tones — no PIH risk

Best for: Melasma with inflammation, chronic sun damage, post-laser recovery, dull pigmented skin

Correct pigmentation with PDRN at Medicutis

Salmon DNA Facial (PDRN + Derma Pen 4)

The treatment that went viral — for good reason. Pharmaceutical-grade PDRN is applied immediately after Derma Pen 4 microneedling, so it goes directly into the dermis. Immediate glow. Progressive results. Clinical-grade, not the Instagram version.

Why patients love it:

  • Immediate glass-skin luminosity — visible within 24–48 hours
  • PDRN penetrates deep through microneedling channels
  • Reduces pigmentation, redness and inflammation
  • Improves overall skin quality and clarity
  • Real clinical results — pharmaceutical-grade PDRN only

Best for: Dull uneven skin, post-acne recovery, instant glow, combined pigmentation treatment

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes acne scars?

Acne scars form when inflamed breakouts damage deeper layers of skin, disrupting collagen and healing processes.

Can acne scars be completely removed?

Deep scars (ice pick, severe boxcar) rarely disappear completely — but 50–80% visible improvement is achievable. Mild to moderate scars can often show near-complete resolution. We'll give you an honest prognosis at consultation.

Which treatment is best for acne scars?

Treatment depends on your scar type—ice pick, boxcar, rolling scars, or post-acne pigmentation. Common treatments include microneedling, lasers, chemical peels, subcision, and scar-focused procedures.

How many sessions are needed for acne scar treatment?

Most patients require multiple sessions, typically 3–6 or more, depending on scar severity and treatment type.

Is acne scar treatment painful?

Most treatments involve minimal discomfort. Topical numbing creams are usually applied before procedures for comfort.

How soon will I see results from acne scar treatment?

Initial improvements may be visible after a few weeks, but collagen remodeling continues over several months for progressive improvement.

Can active acne be treated along with acne scars?

Yes. Active acne is usually controlled first or treated simultaneously to prevent new scars from forming.

Is there downtime after acne scar treatment? Will they come back if I stop treatment?

Downtime varies by treatment. Some treatments cause mild redness for 1–3 days, while deeper procedures may require longer recovery. Treated scars typically do not return, but new acne can create new scars if not managed properly.

Which treatment is right for my scar type?

Rolling scars → Subcision + Derma Pen 4. Boxcar → Fractional CO₂ or MNRF. Ice pick → CO₂ laser. PIH → peels + laser toning. Most patients need a combination. We map your scar types first, then design the programme.

How many sessions do I need?

Mild texture: 3–4 sessions. Moderate scars: 4–6. Severe atrophic scarring: 6–12 months of combined treatment. A realistic timeline is discussed at your consultation.
