Understanding Pigmentation on Indian Skin

Pigmentation is one of the most stubborn skin concerns in Gurgaon. The combination of intense UV rays throughout the year and high pollution levels near areas like Golf Course Road, Ardee City, Sushant Lok and Cyber Hub triggers our skin to overproduce melanin as a defense mechanism, leading to uneven patches and persistent dark spots.
Why is Indian skin different? Indian skin is racially prone to hyperpigmentation. We have more active melanocytes (pigment-producing cells). This means that any inflammation, whether from a pimple, a scratch, or sun exposure, leaves a dark mark (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation or PIH) that lasts much longer than on Caucasian skin.

At Dermabliss, we categorize your pigmentation to treat it correctly:

• Melasma: Hormonally triggered, butterfly-shaped patches on the cheeks, nose, and forehead. Often worsened by pregnancy or thyroid issues.

• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark flat spots left behind after acne heals or skin injury.

• Sun Spots / Tanning & Dullness: Superficial unevenness caused by chronic UV exposure.

Our Advanced Pigmentation Treatment Protocols

Dr. Pragya Punj uses a "layered approach," combining internal health checks with external procedures to break down stubborn pigment.
 

A. Advanced Chemical Peels (The Exfoliators)
We use medical-grade acids to gently exfoliate the pigmented top layers of the skin, revealing fresh, brighter skin underneath.

• Glycolic/Lactic Peels: Best for superficial tanning and instant glow.

• TCA Cross / Yellow Peel: For deeper, stubborn spots and acne marks.

• Cosmelan/Dermamelan Treatment: The world's leading professional depigmentation method for severe, resistant Melasma. This is a two-step process (in-clinic mask + home cream).

 

B. Q-Switched Laser Toning (The "Angel" Facial)
This "lunchtime laser" uses targeted energy to shatter deep-seated pigment deposits into tiny particles, which your body then naturally clears away.

• Best for: Deep pigmentation, melasma maintenance, and overall skin brightening without downtime.

• Safety: We use top-tier lasers specifically calibrated to be safe for darker Indian skin tones, avoiding the risk of white spots (hypopigmentation).

 

C. Meso-Brightening (The Infusion)
Direct delivery of powerful brightening agents like Glutathione, Vitamin C, and Tranexamic Acid into the mesoderm (middle layer of skin) via micro-injections to stop pigment production at the source.
