Thane, Maharashtra: As demand for non-surgical pigmentation treatment continues to rise across the region, KP Dermatology in Vasant Vihar has established itself as a destination for advanced picosecond laser care tailored specifically to Indian skin.

The clinic is led by Dr Prratyush More, MBBS, DDVL, who brings over fourteen years of clinical experience and advanced international training under Dr Alex Ginzburg in Israel. According to the clinic, he was the first dermatologist in Thane to introduce Candela PicoWay technology.

The PicoWay is an FDA-cleared picosecond laser that delivers energy in pulses lasting one trillionth of a second. Rather than relying on heat, it works through a photoacoustic effect that breaks pigment and ink into microscopic particles, generating substantially less thermal injury than the older nanosecond lasers still in wide use.

That distinction matters particularly for Indian patients. Higher melanin levels mean more laser energy is absorbed in the upper layers of the skin, raising the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, the darkening that can appear weeks after treatment. Lower-heat technology widens the safety margin considerably.

"With pigmentation on Indian skin, the risk has always been trading the pigment a patient came in with for pigment the laser caused," a clinic spokesperson said. "Picosecond technology reduces that risk meaningfully, but it does not remove the need for judgement. We still assess phototype and pigment depth before choosing any device, and we still tell patients when laser is not the right answer."

The clinic offers eight dedicated PicoWay treatments spanning pigmentation, melasma, acne scarring and skin texture, anti-ageing, carbon laser peels, tattoo removal, lip pigmentation, and under-eye dark circles, alongside a wider aesthetics range including peels, HydraFacial, and microneedling.

Sessions typically last 15 to 30 minutes with minimal downtime, and every procedure is carried out under Dr More's direct supervision.
