What our patients say
"Visited for hyperpigmentation and skin texture issues. Dr. Saloni Vora gave me a detailed treatment plan. After 2 months my skin has improved significantly. Highly recommended."
Bhavini KotiyaGoogle · Skin treatment, Juhu"I had pigmentation concerns for a long time and consulted many options, but with Dr. Agni my experience has been completely different. He treated my pigmentation only with external medicines, and the results have been amazing — my pigmentation is fully gone! I really appreciate his honest guidance, gentle approach, and the fact that he suggests only what the skin actually needs."
Verified PatientPracto · Juhu"I visited Dr. Saloni Vora for pigmentation and she gave a very detailed diagnosis. She explained what was causing it and offered a structured treatment plan. My skin has improved significantly since."
Verified PatientPracto · Juhu"Very thorough doctor. She doesn't just treat the symptom — she investigates the root cause. For my melasma she ordered a few checks before starting treatment and that methodical approach gave me a lot of confidence."
Verified PatientPracto · Marine LinesIndian skin is more prone to pigmentation — and more easily worsened by the wrong treatment.
Higher melanin density means Indian skin reacts to any trigger — sun, hormones, inflammation, even friction — by producing excess pigment. The wrong laser setting, the wrong peel, or the wrong topical can make pigmentation worse before it gets better. At Dr. Sheth's Clinics, we've been treating pigmentation in Indian skin for over 50 Combined Years. We identify whether you're dealing with melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, solar damage, or a combination — and build a protocol that addresses the actual cause, not just the visible marks.
A dermatologist's approach to every kind of pigmentation
Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is the gold standard for pigmentation in Indian skin. It breaks down melanin deposits in the skin without damaging surrounding tissue. Parameters are set conservatively by a dermatologist — intensity is built progressively to avoid triggering post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Medical-grade peels (glycolic, mandelic, lactic, TCA) calibrated specifically for Indian skin tones. Used for superficial pigmentation, post-acne marks, and sun damage. Peel type, concentration, and application time are matched to your skin's current state — not a standard protocol.
Topical formulations containing kojic acid, azelaic acid, tranexamic acid, niacinamide, or retinoids — prescribed and monitored by a dermatologist. These are often the cornerstone of long-term melasma management. Not available over-the-counter at therapeutic concentrations.
Melasma is a chronic hormonal condition — not a cosmetic one. Our dermatologists assess the depth of pigmentation (epidermal vs. dermal) using Wood's lamp, then build a combination protocol: laser toning, prescription topicals, and sun protection. Maintenance planning is built in from day one.
Injectable skin boosters including PDRN (polynucleotide) and Skinvive improve skin quality, luminosity, and hydration at the cellular level. Particularly effective for dull, uneven tone that doesn't respond to topical-only treatment. Complements pigmentation correction protocols.
Fractional radiofrequency microneedling that remodels skin at depth — improving texture, pore size, and overall tone uniformity. Used where uneven skin tone is compounded by textural irregularities or enlarged pores. Combines skin tightening with surface improvement.
The right protocol depends on what's actually causing it. A dermatologist assessment is where it starts.

The clinic behind the treatment
Melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and epidermal vs. dermal pigmentation each need different protocols. A treatment that works on one type will fail — or worsen — another. We don't prescribe without identifying the cause and depth first.
Melasma has hormonal, UV, and genetic drivers — it's managed, not cured. We'll tell you that upfront, and build a protocol around your lifestyle and triggers. Patients who understand this get better outcomes than those who've been promised a one-time fix.
Laser on active or unstable melasma often worsens it. The sequence of treatment — topicals, peels, then procedures — matters, and our dermatologists determine the right sequence for your skin. Jumping to a laser before your skin is ready is one of the most common mistakes we see from other clinics.
Pigmentation treatment plays out over months. Your dermatologist tracks your skin's response, adjusts the protocol as you respond, and catches any rebound early. Consistency of care is how you achieve lasting clarity.
