Acne Marks & Pigmentation Treatment at Skinovate Clinic

Acne Marks & Pigmentation Treatment at Skinovate Clinic (Pune)

Doctor-supervised solutions for dark spots, post-acne pigmentation & uneven skin tone

Acne marks and pigmentation can make the skin look dull and patchy even after pimples have healed. At Skinovate, we follow a layered treatment approach combining lasers, chemical peels, medical skincare, and advanced pigmentation therapies.

Dr. Susshil Chaudharyy and his dermatology team design a customized plan based on:

  • Type of acne marks
  • Skin type (oily, dry, sensitive)
  • Depth of pigmentation (epidermal / dermal)
  • Previous treatments
