Pigmentation

Pigmentation is a prevalent concern that many individuals bring to us at PRIDE GLO Skin & Hair Aesthetic Clinic. In fact, treatments for pigmentation rank as the second most common request among those with Asian skin types. This is largely due to the fact that in Indian and Asian skin, the signs of aging are often more associated with pigmentation, whereas in Caucasian skin, aging typically appears as fine lines and wrinkles. Various forms of pigmentation, such as sun spots, lentigines, and persistent tanning, are all indicators of aging linked to excessive pigment production. Since sun exposure and heat are major contributors to both aging and pigmentation, it’s crucial to prioritize proper sun protection, especially through the use of effective sunscreens.

At PRIDE GLO, we encounter a variety of pigmentation issues, from straightforward cases that respond well to topical treatments to more intricate situations that challenge even the most sophisticated laser technologies.

Why Choose PRIDE GLO for pigmentation consultation ?

At PRIDE GLO, the most common pigmentation issue we address is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or PIH. This condition can arise from various factors, including acne, burns, or other skin issues that have healed but left behind residual pigmentation. Fortunately, it typically responds well to several sessions of the Picoway Laser and/or chemical peels. For milder cases, topical treatments are often sufficient and can be very effective. Melasma, on the other hand, presents a greater challenge when it comes to treatment. The toughest aspect is maintaining results after the initial reduction of pigmentation. This requires consistent care, including diligent application of sunscreens and sometimes oral or internal treatments as well.

The PICOWAY, a picosecond laser operating at wavelengths of 532 and 1064 nm, is particularly effective for addressing pigmentation issues in Indian skin. These wavelengths provide the necessary capability to target both superficial and deep pigmentation, thereby addressing a wide range of conditions, either independently or in conjunction with other therapies. Since the introduction of the PICOWAY in 2016, PRIDE GLO Skin and Hair Aesthetic Clinic has established itself as a leading skin and hair care facility in Chennai, recognized for possessing one of the most advanced pigment removal lasers globally, and is regarded as a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) in Chennai for this technology. Furthermore, the clinic expanded its offerings in 2022 with the addition of the highly sophisticated Pico-Nano hybrid Q-switched Nd YAG laser, known as the Starwalker. This advancement enhances the clinic's capabilities for hybrid treatment protocols, pigment reduction, and both combination and sequential therapies aimed at effective pigmentation management.
