Pigmentation Treatment in Thane & Mumbai
Pigmentation concerns — including freckles, sun spots, age spots, and uneven skin tone — are among the most common reasons patients seek dermatological care. At KP Dermatology, Thane, Dr. Prratyush More (MBBS, DDVL — 14+ years of clinical experience) uses the advanced Candela PicoWay® laser alongside medical-grade peels to restore a more even, radiant complexion.
Pigmentation has many different causes, and effective treatment depends on accurately identifying the type and depth of pigment involved. Dr. More conducts a thorough assessment before recommending the right combination of laser, peel, and topical therapy for your specific concern.
Understanding Skin Pigmentation
Pigmentation occurs when melanin — the pigment responsible for skin colour — is produced unevenly or in excess, often triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, or genetics. Common presentations include freckles, solar lentigines (sun/age spots), and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, each requiring a slightly different treatment approach.
Dr. Prratyush More examines the depth, distribution, and likely cause of your pigmentation before recommending treatment — since superficial pigmentation responds well to peels and laser, while deeper or hormonally-driven pigmentation like melasma requires a more cautious, specialised approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about pigmentation treatment, timelines, and safety — answered by Dr. Prratyush More.
How many PicoWay sessions will I need for pigmentation?
This depends on your specific concern. Superficial pigmentation like sun spots or freckles may clear in just 1–2 sessions, while deeper or more extensive pigmentation may require a series of 3–8 treatments spaced a few weeks apart, as outlined by Dr. More during consultation.
Is PicoWay safe for treating pigmentation on Indian skin?
Yes. The PicoWay® laser’s picosecond technology generates significantly less heat than older lasers, which substantially reduces the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — a common concern with pigmentation treatment in darker skin tones.
Will my pigmentation come back after treatment?
This depends on the type of pigmentation and how well sun protection is maintained afterward. Sun-related pigmentation like freckles and sun spots can recur without diligent daily sunscreen use, which Dr. More will emphasise as part of your treatment plan.
How soon will I see results?
For superficial pigmentation, many patients notice visible fading within 1–2 weeks as the body flushes away the shattered pigment. Deeper or more extensive pigmentation may take longer and require multiple sessions for full clearance.
Can pigmentation treatment help with dark circles?
Yes, PicoWay® laser therapy can help with periorbital (under-eye) pigmentation, though this delicate area requires careful, gentle treatment settings. Dr. More offers a dedicated under-eye dark circle treatment for this specific concern.
