Pigmentation Treatment

Pigmentation or discoloration of the skin is a symptom rather than a disease in itself. Pigmentation of the skin can be the end result of several medical disorders and can also be an early sign skin ageing. Treatment of pigmentation therefore needs a detailed history to rule out endocrine harmone imbalances.

At My Clinic, we start with a detailed history and examination. A request for some blood tests to look for internal causes of pigmentation may be ordered. The commonest and most difficult cause of pigmentation in the Indian context is Melasma. The treatment options are:

  • Sunscreen
  • Lightening creams
  • Chemical peeling
  • LASER
  • Mesotherapy
  • Supervised Medication
