Hyperpigmentation occurs when an excess of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, forms deposits in the skin. Common causes of hyperpigmentation include sun exposure, inflammation, hormonal changes (such as melasma), and certain medications. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), commonly occurs after an injury or inflammation of the skin, and periorbital hyperpigmentation, appears around the eyes, as dark circles. Understanding the cause of pigmentation is essential for effective treatment. Click to Read: Pigmentation in Indian Skin, Melasma Treatment.

Ultracel Q+ HIFU for Pigment Rejuvenation
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to target deep layers of the skin.

Laser treatments are highly effective for reducing hyperpigmentation. They work by targeting the pigment in the skin, breaking it down, and allowing the body to naturally remove the pigment over time. Click to Read: Laser Skin Procedures, Laser Skin Lightening.
Q-Switch Laser for Hyperpigmentation
The Q-Switch laser is a popular choice for treating hyperpigmentation, including melasma and PIH. It is effective for pigmentation removal and has a shorter recovery time compared to other laser treatments.
CO2 Laser for Hyperpigmentation on Face
CO2 laser treatment can be used to remove black spots on the face, dark patches on the face, and other areas of hyperpigmentation. It’s particularly effective for hyperpigmentation on the cheeks, forehead, and nose. Click to Read: CO2 Laser Treatment.
Pico Laser for Dark Spots Reduction
Pico laser treatment is an advanced laser therapy that delivers ultra-short pulses of energy to target pigmentation. It breaks down melanin into tiny particles, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. “Pico laser is highly effective for treating dark spots, sunspots, and other forms of hyperpigmentation. It offers precise, fast results with minimal discomfort and downtime, making it a popular choice for pigmentation removal”, says Dr. Sonavane.
Intense pulsed light (IPL) for Pigmentation

Chemical peels are another effective method for treating hyperpigmentation. They work by exfoliating the top layers of the skin, promoting the growth of new, even-toned skin. Click to Read: Chemical Peel Treatment.
Glycolic Peel for Pigmentation
Glycolic acid peels are commonly used for treating hyperpigmentation. They are particularly effective for pigmentation on the face and can help remove black patches from the face. “We now have newer liposomal glycolic peels that are more potent, less sensitizing and cocktailed with other ingredients like glutathione, arbutin and tranexamic acid for safer and faster results”, says Dr. Sonavane.
Salicylic Acid for Hyperpigmentation
Salicylic acid is another option for chemical peels. It is effective for treating hyperpigmentation caused by acne (bacne hyperpigmentation) and can be used for facial peels for hyperpigmentation. “We now have salicylic peels in liposomal and gel technology with azelaic acid, resorcinol, ferulic acid and more for better result in fewer sessions”, says Dr. Sonavane.
Cosmelan Treatment for Hyperpigmentation
Cosmelan is a highly effective depigmentation treatment designed to reduce hyperpigmentation and improve skin tone. It works by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots and uneven skin tone. The treatment involves the application of a professional-grade mask, which is left on the skin for several hours, followed by a home-care regimen to enhance and maintain the results. “Cosmelan is particularly effective for treating melasma, age spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It not only lightens dark patches but also helps to prevent new pigmentation from forming, offering a comprehensive solution for those struggling with persistent hyperpigmentation”, says Dr. Sonavane. Patients can expect significant improvement in skin clarity and a more uniform complexion after completing the treatment. Click to Read: Cosmelan Peel Treatment.

PRP Treatment with Dermapen Microneedling for Hyperpigmentation
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment combined with Dermapen microneedling is an advanced and effective method for treating hyperpigmentation. GFC PRP utilizes the patient’s own blood, which is processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors. These components are known to enhance healing and stimulate collagen production. When used in conjunction with Dermapen microneedling, which creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin, PRP penetrates deeper into the skin layers, accelerating the healing process and promoting more even skin tone.
“This combination helps to reduce dark spots, improve skin texture, and rejuvenate the overall complexion. The microneedling process itself also promotes collagen and elastin production, which further aids in reducing pigmentation and enhancing skin clarity”. This treatment is particularly beneficial for patients looking for a minimally invasive option with natural ingredients to achieve a more uniform and radiant skin tone”, says Dr. Sonavane. Click to Read: PRP Skin Treatment, Dermapen Microneedling Treatment.
Mesotherapy for Hyperpigmented Patches
Mesotherapy involves the microinjection of vitamins, enzymes, and other active ingredients directly into the skin to treat hyperpigmentation. This technique delivers nutrients precisely where they are needed, helping to reduce dark patches and improve overall skin tone. Mesotherapy can be customized to address specific pigmentation issues, making it a versatile option for those struggling with uneven skin color. Click to Read: Mesotherapy for Skin and Hair.
Skin Boosters for Pigment Reduction (NCTF)
Skin boosters like NCTF (New Cellular Treatment Factor) are injectable treatments that deliver hyaluronic acid and a cocktail of vitamins, amino acids, and antioxidants into the skin. These boosters enhance hydration, stimulate collagen production, and improve skin texture, which can help reduce the appearance of pigmentation. NCTF skin boosters are particularly effective for revitalizing dull, uneven skin and promoting a more radiant complexion.
Profhilo and Pigmented Skin
Profhilo is a unique injectable treatment that contains high concentrations of hyaluronic acid to hydrate and remodel the skin. “While primarily used for skin tightening and improving elasticity, Profhilo can also help reduce pigmentation by enhancing skin health and promoting a more even skin tone”, says Dr. Sonavane. It works by stimulating collagen and elastin production, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance. Click to Read: Profhilo Skin Injections.
Glutathione Injection in Hyperpigmentation
Glutathione injections are gaining popularity for their potential to lighten hyperpigmented skin. Since Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant, it inhibits melanin production and thereby reduces dark spots and promotes an even skin tone. Administered intravenously, these injections can provide faster and more noticeable results compared to oral supplements. However, it is essential to consult a good dermatologist like Dr. Sonavane to determine the appropriate dosage and ensure safety. Click to Read: Glutathione IV Injections.
Oral Supplements for Hyperpigmentation
Oral supplements can play a supportive role in the treatment of hyperpigmentation. Ingredients such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Glutathione are known for their antioxidant properties, which help reduce oxidative stress and inhibit melanin production, thereby lightening dark spots. Other supplements like Polypodium leucotomos extract and niacinamide help in improving skin tone and protecting against UV-induced pigmentation. “While these supplements can enhance the effectiveness of topical treatments and other therapies, it is essential to consult a dermatologist before starting any new supplement regimen to ensure safety and efficacy tailored to individual needs”, says Dr. Sonavane.
Topical Treatments for Hyperpigmentation
Topical treatments are also widely used to manage hyperpigmentation. These include creams, serums, and lotions that contain active ingredients to lighten dark spots and even out skin tone.
Retinol for Hyperpigmentation
Retinol is a powerful ingredient that promotes cell turnover and reduces pigmentation. It is effective for hyperpigmentation on the face, neck, and body.
Kojic Acid for Pigmentation
Kojic acid is another popular ingredient that helps reduce pigmentation. It is often used in combination with other treatments for better results.
Tranexamic Acid for Hyperpigmentation
Tranexamic acid is effective for treating melasma and other forms of hyperpigmentation. It works by inhibiting melanin production and reducing dark spots.
