Sound familiar?

Covered daily, never gone

The patches keep returning

Melasma and tanning fade with each new cream — then return the moment you stop.

A drawer full of “brightening” products

Serums promised even tone; your skin had other plans.

The sun undoes everything

One outdoor week can erase months of careful effort.

If this sounds familiar, it isn’t a failure of effort. Most skin, hair and body concerns are medical — and they respond to the right medical treatment.
About the treatment

What it is, honestly

Structured multi-visit programmes for tanning, post-inflammatory marks and mixed pigmentation — combining peels, toning and home actives.

One diagnosis, one plan, one price — reviewed monthly.

All pigment typesBundled programmeMonthly reviews
Who it suits — Melasma, tanning, post-acne marks, dull uneven tone and intimate-area darkening — diagnosed first, then treated on protocol.
Your journey

What to expect

01

Diagnose the pigment

Wood’s lamp and dermatoscopy tell us the depth and type before anything touches your skin.

02

In-clinic protocol

The peel or depigmentation mask is applied professionally, with exact home-care dispensed.

03

Protect & review

Strict sun protection plus scheduled reviews keep results — and keep melasma from rebounding.

The technology

How Pigmentation Correction works

A pigmentation correction program combines diagnosis, targeted in-clinic treatments and a maintenance routine to address sun spots, post-inflammatory marks and uneven tone — sequenced for steady, safe improvement.

Diagnose the type

Sun damage, post-acne marks and melasma each need a different approach.

Layered treatment

Combines toning lasers, peels and topicals as appropriate.

Maintenance built in

Results are protected with sun care and periodic upkeep.

Safe sequencing

Intensity is matched to skin type to avoid triggering more pigment.

Evidence-based summary of how this treatment works. Your individual plan is discussed at consultation.

The science

The science behind Pigmentation Correction Programs

01

Selective photothermolysis

Energy is absorbed by melanin, not surrounding skin — pigment breaks while skin stays protected.

02

Fragment & clear

Pigment shatters into micro-particles your own immune system clears naturally.

03

Trigger control

Sun, heat and hormones drive recurrence — your plan controls them alongside the laser.

What you can expect

Results, honestly timed

01

Early weeks

Tone starts evening; less daily concealing.

02

Mid-course

Patches visibly lighter in photographs.

03

After the course

Brighter, even tone — with a prevention plan against recurrence.

Timelines are typical, not promised — your skin, your plan and your review schedule decide the pace. We track progress with photographs at every stage.

Why ours is different

Our doctor-led difference — not the usual machine

What it is

No machine works without judgement. Every protocol here is chosen, parameterised and reviewed by Dr. Sarat Anandh, MD DVL — using pharma-grade products and sterile, evidence-based technique.

Why it matters to you

That’s the difference between a procedure and a plan — Ethics. Quality. Results.

Doctor-set, always

Parameters are personalised at every session — the same machine in different hands gives different results. Ours are the doctor’s.

Before & after your session

Simple prep, simple care

Before your session

Come with clean skin — no makeup, retinoids paused as advised.
Avoid heavy sun exposure for a week prior.
Tell us about new medicines, peels or treatments elsewhere.

After your session

Expect mild warmth or pinkness for a few hours — it settles on its own.
Sunscreen is non-negotiable; we’ll give you the exact routine.
Follow the simple aftercare card — and message us anytime, we actually reply.

Good to know

Questions, answered

How do programmes differ from single sessions?

They’re sequenced and committed — which is how pigment actually clears, instead of drifting between one-offs.

What results are realistic?

Most patterns lighten 50–80% over 3–4 months with sun discipline; melasma follows its own protocol.

Why did creams not work?

Most creams only suppress surface pigment. Melasma and deeper pigment need diagnosis, triggers controlled, and treatment at the right depth.

Will it return?

Pigment can return with sun and hormones — your plan includes prevention, not just clearance.

Who performs the treatment?

Every plan is set by Dr. Sarat Anandh, MD DVL, and procedures are performed under his direct supervision — never handed off to a counter.

How do I know the price?

Message us on WhatsApp and we’ll share your exact, itemised quote in a moment. Session packages are available for many treatments.

Is it safe for Indian skin?

Yes. Parameters are chosen specifically for melanin-rich skin — that’s the doctor’s job, and it matters more than any machine name.

Can I combine it with other treatments?

Often — many concerns respond best to a planned combination. We suggest one only when it genuinely adds benefit.

What if this isn’t suitable for me?

We’ll tell you honestly at the consult and point you to what will actually help — even if it’s simpler and cheaper.

Details, suitability and pricing are confirmed at consultation with Dr. Sarat Anandh, MD DVL. Individual results vary.
