Pigmentation & Skin Whitening Treatment
Hyperpigmentation — the darkening of skin caused by excess melanin production — is one of the most common dermatological concerns in India, affecting people of all ages. At Dr Amit Aesthetics in Aligarh, we specialize in diagnosing and treating the full spectrum of pigmentation disorders, including sun tan, melasma (the stubborn "mask of pregnancy"), freckles, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), age spots, and uneven skin tone. Each type of pigmentation has a distinct cause and depth within the skin, requiring a specific, targeted treatment approach.
Overview
Hyperpigmentation — the darkening of skin caused by excess melanin production — is one of the most common dermatological concerns in India, affecting people of all ages. At Dr Amit Aesthetics in Aligarh, we specialize in diagnosing and treating the full spectrum of pigmentation disorders, including sun tan, melasma (the stubborn "mask of pregnancy"), freckles, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), age spots, and uneven skin tone. Each type of pigmentation has a distinct cause and depth within the skin, requiring a specific, targeted treatment approach.
Our treatment protocols are tailored to the specific type of pigmentation you present with. For sun tan and superficial pigmentation, chemical peels with glycolic acid or lactic acid are highly effective, often combined with medical-grade brightening agents. Melasma, which involves deeper pigment deposits and hormonal triggers, requires a more comprehensive approach — we use a combination of specialized chemical peels, light-based therapies, Pixel fractional laser, and maintenance medications including tranexamic acid, hydroquinone, and retinoids to manage this chronic condition. Freckles and discrete pigmented spots respond excellently to Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser, which selectively targets melanin without damaging surrounding skin.
Our approach combines in-clinic treatments with a customized home-care regimen of brightening serums, sun protection, and melanin-inhibiting agents. We believe that lasting pigmentation correction requires both professional intervention and diligent daily care. Dr. Agrawal and our cosmetology team work together to ensure you receive the most effective, safe treatment for your skin type and pigmentation pattern, with realistic expectations about timelines and maintenance.
