Skin Concerns · Pigmentation
Even, clear skin you can trust to stay — not just cover up
Melasma, sun spots, and post-acne marks respond to the right diagnosis and a patient plan. Your doctor finds what's driving the pigment — then builds a path toward lasting clarity.
— Your Concern
Your clearest skin is closer than you think
Hyperpigmentation makes you feel like you're fighting your own skin. Melasma, solar lentigines, and post-acne marks differ in depth and behaviour — but they share one thing: they respond to precision, patience, and the right plan.
DrPlus approaches pigmentation with a diagnosis-first mindset. Your doctor evaluates pigment depth, skin type, hormonal factors, and current skincare before recommending pico laser or supportive topicals — building toward the even-toned complexion you've been working toward.
Consistent sun protection is the foundation. Treatment lightens what's there; your daily habits protect what you've gained.

Doctor-led pigmentation planning
Treatment choice for pigmentation depends on pigment type, depth, skin tone, hormonal factors, and sun behaviour. Pico laser, peels, and topicals each have a role — your plan is built around which combination is appropriate for your case.

— FAQ
Pigmentation treatment FAQ
Melasma is often linked to hormones, sun exposure, and genetics. It can be managed but may recur without ongoing protection and maintenance.
With appropriate device settings and experienced medical supervision, laser pigmentation treatment can be performed on a range of skin types. Assessment is essential.
Fading is gradual over weeks to months. Some spots darken before they lighten. Your doctor will outline a realistic timeline.
Certain actives may be paused before and after laser. Your doctor will review your routine and adjust for safety.
