Clear, even-toned skin is achievable.
Dark spots, tanning and melasma rarely go away with creams or serums alone. Treatment is planned around the cause and depth of the pigment.
Why pigmentation needs more than a cream
Uneven skin tone, dark spots, tanning and pigmentation patches like melasma are some of the most common skin concerns, and they rarely go away with creams or serums alone.
Whether the cause is sun damage, acne marks, hormonal changes or genetics, Linaé offers safe and proven treatments to brighten and even out your skin tone.
Consider professional pigmentation treatment if you have:
- Dark patches on your cheeks, forehead or upper lip (melasma)
- Stubborn tanning that doesn't fade
- Dark marks left behind after acne (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation); see also acne and acne scar treatment
- Uneven skin tone that makes you self-conscious
- Pigmentation that hasn't improved with creams, serums or salon facials
- Sensitive skin that needs a gentle approach
Lasers, peels and skin repair, combined
Most plans use more than one of these, chosen for your skin type and the depth of the pigment.
Fotona StarWalker MAQX
An advanced laser for pigmentation and overall skin rejuvenation. It uses Q-switched and pico-like technology to break stubborn pigment into tiny particles that your body naturally clears over time. It also improves overall skin tone, pore size, texture and clarity.
Safe for Indian skin, with no burns, no peeling and no downtime. Most people describe it as a warm, tingling sensation. Our technology
Chemical peels (medical-grade)
Advanced peels such as BioRePeel, NMF peel and Cosmelan exfoliate the upper layers of skin, fade dark spots and accelerate cell turnover. They are often used alongside lasers for enhanced results.
PDRN
Polydeoxyribonucleotide is a skin-healing molecule that repairs and regenerates damaged skin, reduces inflammation and helps lighten pigmentation over time. Especially helpful for stubborn post-inflammatory pigmentation such as acne marks.
Exosome therapy
Nano-vesicles derived from stem cells that deliver growth factors and antioxidants deep into the skin, reducing oxidative stress (a major cause of pigmentation), brightening the complexion and supporting healthy regeneration. Combined with lasers or microneedling, they significantly improve results.
PDRN and exosomes are both well suited to sensitive or reactive skin, for treating pigmentation without harsh peels or aggressive procedures.
A management plan, not just a course
Pigmentation treatments are customised to your skin type, the depth of pigmentation and how your skin responds. Results don't come from a single session, but with consistency and the right combination, clear, even-toned skin is achievable.
A typical course involves 4–8 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart. For conditions like melasma, a long-term maintenance plan, with rigorous sun protection, periodic laser sessions and a medical-grade skincare routine, is essential for lasting results.
Dr. Praneeta will create a sustainable management plan, not just a treatment course.

Have your pigmentation diagnosed.
Melasma, tanning and post-acne marks need different treatment. A consultation identifies which you have and how deep it sits.
