Concern
Hyperpigmentation & melasma
Dark patches, sun spots and melasma that make your skin tone look uneven.
Recommended treatments
Plans are customised after your consultation.
Cosmelan Peel
The best-known depigmentation system: a mask at the studio, then a night cream at home, for stubborn melasma and dark patches.
- Cosmelan 1, at the studio
- Cosmelan 2, at home
Yellow Peel
A retinoic-acid peel for uneven tone and marks, when the skin is ready for a stronger peel.
Innopeel
A depigmenting peel booked by the session, for milder pigment or as upkeep.
Photo Facial
A low-energy laser facial that evens tone and adds glow between stronger treatments.
Depigmentation Peels
The main treatment for stubborn pigment and melasma: professional systems that lift pigmented cells and slow new pigment from forming.
- Cosmelan, face and neck
- Meline, face
- Innopeel, face and neck
Q-Switch Laser
Low-energy toning breaks pigment up gradually and evens the overall tone between peels.
- Laser toning
- Q-switch, face and neck
Chemical Peels
A peel course keeps tone even once the main treatment is done, and treats lighter, newer patches.
- Retises peel, face and neck
- Yellow peel
Skin Mesotherapy
Brightening and hydrating actives placed into the skin support the peels and laser from within.
IV Glutathione
An antioxidant course some clients add for overall brightness, given only after a health check.
- Gluta therapy
Hydrafacial
Gentle monthly upkeep once pigment is under control, with no heat or harsh exfoliation.
- Hydrafacial
Your plan
How it usually runs
Step 1
First visit
Dr. Poonam checks the type and depth of your pigment and starts sunscreen and a prescription cream, which prepare the skin for treatment.
Step 2
The course
Cosmelan (the studio mask, then the night cream at home), or a Meline or Innopeel course, with laser toning in between. Meso face or gluta can be added to support the result.
Step 3
Keeping it
A peel or laser toning every month or two, daily sunscreen and the maintenance cream, because melasma returns with sun and hormones.
What causes it
Pigmentation is controlled, not cured, so every plan includes the home care that keeps it from coming back.
- Sun exposure, the biggest trigger in Mumbai's climate
- Hormones: pregnancy, the pill, thyroid changes
- Marks left behind after acne or irritation
- Genetics and skin type
