Managing Melasma and Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation in Indian Skin

The Nuance of Treating Melanin-Rich Dermal Types

Indian skin requires an ultra-gentle, non-thermal approach to pigmentation. Aggressive ablative lasers often trigger rebound Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). At Lumique, our multi-modal protocol combines low-fluence photoacoustic laser toning with medical barrier stabilization.

The Golden Triad for Clear Skin:

  1. Photoacoustic Q-Switched Laser: Shatters deep dermal melanin without thermal tissue injury.
  2. Targeted Tranexamic Acid: Blocks plasmin-induced melanogenesis.
  3. Broad-Spectrum Mineral Sunscreen: Shields against both UVA/UVB and visible blue light.
