Advanced Pigmentation & Sun Damage Laser Treatment in Thane
Uneven skin tone, sun spots, and stubborn freckles are common concerns for patients across Thane, where year-round sun exposure and humidity take a visible toll on the skin. At KP Dermatology, Thane, Dr. Prratyush More (MBBS, DDVL — 14+ years of clinical experience) treats hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and café-au-lait marks using the FDA-cleared Candela PicoWay® laser.
Unlike older lasers that rely heavily on heat, PicoWay uses ultra-short picosecond pulses to create a photoacoustic effect, shattering excess melanin into microscopic particles that your body naturally clears over the following weeks. The result is a more even, brighter complexion with minimal downtime.
Understanding Pigmentation & Sun Damage
Pigmentation forms when melanin production becomes uneven, often triggered by prolonged sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin injury. Sun spots, freckles, and café-au-lait marks sit at different depths within the skin, which is why a targeted, dermatologist-guided approach tends to outperform generic over-the-counter creams.
The PicoWay laser’s picosecond pulses target melanin with precision, breaking it down without generating the excess heat that can worsen pigmentation in darker skin tones. Dr. Prratyush More calibrates each session to your Fitzpatrick skin type for safe, effective results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about pigmentation and sun damage treatment — answered by Dr. Prratyush More.
How many sessions will I need for pigmentation?
Superficial sun spots and freckles often respond within one to two sessions, while deeper or more extensive pigmentation may need three to four. Dr. More will recommend a plan after assessing your skin.
Will the pigmentation come back?
Existing pigment is effectively cleared, but new spots can form with future sun exposure. Consistent sunscreen use is the most important step in maintaining results.
Is this treatment safe for Indian skin tones?
Yes. The PicoWay laser’s low-heat mechanism makes it a suitable option for darker skin types when settings are properly calibrated, which Dr. More does for every patient.
Can I go out in the sun after treatment?
Treated skin is temporarily more sensitive to UV exposure, so broad-spectrum sunscreen and sun avoidance are strongly recommended for at least a few weeks after each session.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most patients describe a mild snapping sensation on the skin, which is generally well tolerated without numbing cream.
