A very comfortable and welcoming environment where patients feel at ease. Dr. Asher is highly experienced in every aspect; both clinical and aesthetic, ensuring expert care tailored to your needs. Despite the high level of expertise offered, the prices remain among the most affordable in the market, and a consultation fee of just 2000 is truly minimal for the quality of care you receive.

Their treatment is excellent. I visited about four months ago when my hair had thinned a lot and baldness had started, but now my baby hairs have started growing back — and that too just with medicine. I was considering getting PRP, but I didn’t even need it. I was a bit disappointed with their management though. There’s no pre-appointment system, so you have to go there and wait for your turn. Dr. Asher himself is quite talkative — sometimes he’s chatting with friends or discussing things with his students while patients are waiting. So, the waiting time can get long. Still, I’d give them a full 5-star rating because I got the results I wanted, and I hope their management improves with time.

Procedure Steps

1

Skin assessment

Dr. Asher examines your skin under proper lighting to identify the exact type and depth of pigmentation; Melasma, hyper-pigmentation, Freckles or sun damage before recommending any treatment.

2

Medical prescription

You will receive a medical prescription comprising of oral medications and topical skincare, appropriate for your skin.

3

Treatments

Based on the diagnosis Dr Asher will advise and plan appropriate treatment.

4

Aftercare guidance

Clear aftercare instructions are provided. Sun protection is essential to prevent pigmentation from returning.

Top benefits

Zero Downtime

Most sessions let you resume your daily routine the same day.

Fast Sessions

Typical sessions take just 10- 20 minutes.

Preventative Care

Regular sessions help prevent new pigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone.

All Skin Types

Safe, customized protocols for every skin tone — a critical factor when treating melasma and hyperpigmentation.

Painless

Advanced technology and high quality laser machines targets pigmented cells directly, minimizing impact on healthy surrounding skin.

Precautions to take before a procedure

Avoid retinol, strong acids, or exfoliating products for 3–5 days before your session

Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least one week prior to treatment

Inform your dermatologist if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or on any photosensitive medication

Stop any recent facial treatments (waxing, threading, other peels) at least one week before your appointment

Aftercare instructions

Apply broad-spectrum SPF 50+ daily this is non-negotiable, especially for Melasma, which is highly sun-sensitive.

Avoid direct sun exposure, saunas, and steam rooms for the first few days post-treatment

Follow the prescribed skincare routine and avoid harsh actives until your skin has settled

Attend all follow-up sessions, as Melasma and hyper-pigmentation typically need a structured treatment course, not a single visit

Frequently Asked Questions

Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown or greyish-brown patches, usually on the face — most often the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. It’s more common in women and is often triggered by hormonal changes, pregnancy, birth control, or sun exposure.

Melasma causes include hormonal changes (pregnancy, birth control pills), sun exposure, genetics, and certain skin irritations. Sun exposure is one of the biggest triggers, which is why melasma often worsens in summer and requires strict sun protection.

The best treatment for melasma on the face depends on its depth and cause, but generally includes a dermatologist-guided comprehensive prescription plus combination of chemical peels, laser therapy, mesotherapy, and consistent sun protection. At Dr. Asher’s clinic, treatment plans are customized after a proper skin assessment rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Melasma is actually a specific type of hyperpigmentation, but it behaves differently — it’s typically symmetrical, hormonally triggered, and more resistant to standard treatment. General hyperpigmentation (like dark spots from acne or sun damage) tends to respond faster to treatment than melasma, which needs a longer-term management approach.

Hyperpigmentation on the face refers to patches of skin that become darker than the surrounding area due to excess melanin production. It can be caused by sun damage, acne, hormonal changes, or skin injury.

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is the dark mark left behind after acne, a cut, or skin injury heals. Unlike a scar, PIH is a pigmentation issue and can often be treated effectively with peels, lasers, and targeted skincare.

Fixing hyperpigmentation usually involves a combination of professional treatments (chemical peels, laser, mesotherapy) along with medical-grade skincare and daily sunscreen. Home remedies alone rarely resolve stubborn hyperpigmentation — a dermatologist consultation gives you a faster, safer path to clear skin.

Hyperpigmentation refers to skin areas that are darker than normal due to excess melanin, while hypopigmentation refers to areas that are lighter than the surrounding skin due to reduced melanin. Both can be treated, but the approach differs completely.

Dark spots on the face can result from sun exposure (sun spots/age spots), acne marks, hormonal pigmentation (melasma), or aging. Identifying the type of dark spot is essential, since each responds differently to treatment.

There is no permanent treatment of freckles since they can return with sun exposure since they’re partly genetic. Laser treatments can significantly reduce their appearance for the long term. Consistent sunscreen use afterward is key to keeping long-lasting results.
