Unlike regular peels that focus on general skin rejuvenation, pigment reduction peels are formulated with brightening and exfoliating agents that specifically address discoloration. They are safe, effective, and suitable for most skin types, including Indian skin tones, when performed by trained professionals.

How Do Pigment Reduction Peels Work?

These peels work by using active ingredients that penetrate the skin’s outer layer and reduce melanin production. The process helps lighten existing pigmentation, fade stubborn spots, and prevent further darkening. Over time, your skin appears brighter, more even, and healthier.

Pigment reduction peels are especially beneficial for:

Sun-induced tanning and sunspots

Post-acne marks and blemishes

Hormonal pigmentation (melasma)

Uneven skin tone or dullness

What to Expect During the Session

A typical session at Kamakshi Skin Clinics takes about 30–40 minutes and involves the following steps:

Cleansing: The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove impurities.

Application: A customized peel solution is applied for a specific duration, targeting pigmentation-prone areas.

Neutralization: The peel is either neutralized or allowed to self-neutralize, depending on the formulation.

Finishing: A hydrating serum and broad-spectrum sunscreen are applied to soothe and protect your skin.

The procedure is comfortable, and while mild tingling may be felt during the application, there is generally no downtime.

Pigment reduction peels deliver gradual yet noticeable improvement over a few sessions. You can expect:
