When pigmentation persists despite topical treatment, laser therapy may be considered. At Dr. Megha Kadam’s dermatology practice in Viman Nagar, patients often ask whether laser treatment is safe for Indian skin tones. The answer depends on careful assessment and customised settings.
Laser treatment for pigmentation works by targeting excess melanin deposits within the skin. The technology focuses on breaking down pigment particles, allowing the body to gradually clear them. This approach is typically recommended for deeper pigmentation, resistant melasma, or long standing dark patches. Patch testing and skin evaluation help minimise risks such as post inflammatory pigmentation.
Mild redness may occur temporarily, and multiple sessions are usually required for visible improvement. Adherence to sun protection and post procedure care enhances outcomes. The aim is controlled brightening rather than aggressive removal. If pigmentation remains resistant to standard treatments, discussing laser options in a professional setting can help you make an informed decision.
