Understanding pigmentation

Why Indian skin pigments more easily.

Which is why the wrong treatment doesn’t just fail. It can leave you darker than when you started.

Sun exposure

The most common driver. Cumulative, and affects every type.

Hormones

Pregnancy, contraceptive, thyroid. Why melasma recurs.

Inflammation

A pimple, a wax, a harsh treatment. The mark outlasts the injury.

Heat

Cooking, climate, steam. Worsens melasma without any UV.

The distinction nobody explains

Three pigmentation problems. They look the same.

Melasma

Cystic acne damages collagen well below the surface.

Post-acne marks

Too little collagen rebuilt leaves a dent. Too much leaves a raised scar.

Sun damage & tan

The longer acne stays inflamed, the more collagen is lost.

The treatment that clears one can darken another.

On Indian skin that’s more likely

“If I can’t tell you why the last thing didn’t work, I’m not ready to tell you what to do next.”

Every reading is interpreted through her judgment.

How we tell

Depth decides.
We measure it.

Measured

Eight lights read different depths. Longer wavelengths reach the dermis, where melasma sits.

Explained

A physician tells you which type you have, and why past treatments may not have worked.

Matched

Your treatment settings come from your reading, not a standard protocol.

The kAI scanning room at SkinFit

kAI · Multi-spectral skin analysis

Eight wavelengths. Twelve parameters. Two minutes.

Come in, take the scan, leave with your report and a clear explanation of what’s going on.

Your first visit

Two minutes to scan. Then a proper conversation.

The 360° scan

Two minutes. Your skin tone and melanin index measured, plus twelve other parameters.

Consultation

Our physician explains what your skin can safely tolerate, and how many sessions you’ll realistically need.

Your first session

Fifteen minutes for a small area. No numbing cream, no downtime, straight back to work.

Twenty-five years of Indian skin, measured.

Indian skin pigments faster, scars differently, and reacts differently to the same laser settings. Most analysis systems are calibrated on the wrong population.

Ours is built on Dr. Ruby Sachdev’s twenty-five years with it — and every reading is interpreted through her judgment.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Common questions.

Will it come back?

Melasma can recur, especially with sun and hormonal changes. That’s the nature of
the condition. Sun damage and post-acne marks generally don’t, once treated.

Yes, at the right settings. Wrong settings can trigger the pigment you came to fix,
which is why we measure first.

For mild surface pigment, sometimes. Deeper melasma rarely responds to creams
alone, which is why many people spend a year with nothing to show.

It depends on what the scan finds. You’ll know the cost before you decide.

Find out which scars you actually have.

A scan, a printed report and a physician consult. Adjusted against any treatment you start.
