How the treatment works
Pigment sits at different depths. Surface pigmentation responds well to medical peels and prescription topicals, while deeper dermal pigment needs gentle laser toning across a planned series. Treating the wrong layer can worsen melasma, which is why diagnosis comes first.
Every plan pairs correction with protection. Without disciplined daily sunscreen, pigmentation returns, and no clinic treatment can outrun ultraviolet exposure.
What to expect at The Happy Skin Tales
Your first visit is a consultation, not a procedure. Dr. Suparna Das examines the concern, takes a history, and explains what is realistically achievable. Only then is a plan agreed, with the number of sessions and the cost confirmed before anything begins.
Every procedure is performed or directly supervised by the dermatologist. Aftercare instructions are written down, and a follow-up review is built into the plan rather than sold separately.
