MetaDerm covers medical, injectable, surgical, and laser treatments specifically designed for dark skin care and rejuvenation.
Pigmentation & Acne? We got you covered.
Pigmentations can take a minimum of 5 years to resolve. Dark blemishes, spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation are common in darker skin.
We use the newest Picosure Pro and the Picoway lasers to clear your pigmentation ten times faster. We can also make PIH disappear within 2- 3 sessions, in most cases.
Anti-aging in darker skin types
Anti-aging treatments for dark skin are very different from procedures used for lighter skin types. They have an advantage with non-surgical treatments. Darker skin contains more collagen and reacts quickly to skin tightening procedures. This includes Ultherapy, HIFU, threads & radiofrequency.
Special lasers for darker skin types
In addition to short PD fractional lasers, and skin tightening devices including Ultraformer, Ultherapy, Genius RFM, Tempsure, and NeEra, MetaDerm also has the Picosure Pro and the Picoway – lasers specifically designed for darker skin types.
With the latest in laser treatment for Asian skin, MetaDerm can offer effective and successful ethnic skin care solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
With years of experience in sensitive skin solutions for ethnic skin, MetaDerm has the best ethnic skin care treatments Chennai has to offer. With state-of-the-art equipment, we provide skin rejuvenation for melanin-rich skin and various non-invasive skin rejuvenation services.
A person’s skin tone is genetically determined. Light and dark skin are very different from one another and require different approaches for skin care treatments.
While dark skin has more collagen and pigment, the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation is high. Light skin has less pigment and is at a higher risk of collagen breakdown. For optimal results, the treatments should vary according to the skin type.
We use different technologies for different skin types to avoid unnecessary side effects. This includes:
- Pico lasers - skin rejuvenation treatment for dark skin tones and pigmentation treatment for ethnic skin
- HIFU & radiofrequency – Pore tightening services for ethnic skin
- Non-laser treatment for Asian skin, such as Tixel
- Insulated RF microneedling devices include Infini and Genius RFM.
Ethnic skin contains more pigment and is prone to acne issues, too. Compared to light skin, dark skin scars more when healing. Hence, early and effective management of acne is necessary.
Post-inflammatory pigmentation and hypertrophic scars are more severe in darker skin than in lighter skin. At MetaDerm, the various acne scar treatment for ethnic skin are:
- TCA CROSS and paint at lower concentrations
- RF-insulated microneedling devices
- Modified subcision procedures
- Pico lasers, including Picoway & second-generation Picosure for PIH
Both Picoway & the latest Picosure Pro have their own optimal settings, wavelengths & delivery. Picosure Pro is better suited for Asian skin rejuvenation, and Picoway is better for Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation.
Pore tightening services for ethnic skin aim to improve skin tone by contracting collagen and regenerating new collagen bundles. High-powered CO2 lasers are unsuitable for darker skin, as they carry a higher risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation than lighter skin tones. On this basis, we use-
- Ultherapy: the original high-intensity focused ultrasound
- Ultraformer: another brand of HIFU
- RF with Tempsure & Pelleve
- RFM or radiofrequency microneedling, Genius RF.
The higher pigment content in darker skin results in fewer wrinkles, thus requiring fewer anti-wrinkle units than light skin. Your treatment provider will discuss the location of antiwrinkle injections and what to expect.
Key anatomic features in ethnic skin are very different from those in light skin. These include wider cheekbones, but a flatter nasal bridge. The Asian skin also has an underdeveloped maxilla, hence it is flatter in the mid & medial face.
The aim of these cosmetic treatments is not to change genetic traits or westernise ethnic features. We aim to enhance your already unique features through the skillful placement of soft tissue fillers to give you the desired result.
The very first step is to identify the cause of pigmentation. Next, we can choose the best pigmentation therapy for ethnic skin:
- Laser skin rejuvenation for ethnic skin - melasma, age spots & sunspots
- Picolaser for dermal pigment
- Pico lasers for birthmarks, including Ota & Café Au Lait macules
- Lasers for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
These are spots that resemble skin tags but are age warts. DPN lesions are quite common among darker skin types, including Indians.
Some common treatments for DPN age warts are:
- Lasers
- Curettage
- Point diathermy
- TCA or phenol application
Our sessions aim to reduce and not completely eliminate all spots. We can reduce about 70-80% of the spots in a single session.
Syringomas are harmless/benign tumours of the skin that are quite common in Asian patients. These deep lesions are found around the eye area quite frequently. Safe skin resurfacing for Asian skin can effectively treat these syringomas.
- Lasers can deliver up to 70-80% improvement in most cases
- Syringomas can recur in about 6-48 months
- Healing post-treatments will take 1-2 weeks
- Healing Post-treatment pigment changes takes 2-6 months
- Treatments are partially covered under Medicare
- Anti-wrinkle treatments can reduce recurrence
- Creams are not helpful.
By combining a Pico laser and some skin-lightening products, we can make the skin 1-2 shades lighter.
The skin-lightening formula used at MetaDerm does not contain any hydroquinone, but it contains natural botanicals, licorice, citric, ascorbic, kojic, and glycolic acids. We combine this with the Picoway laser to obtain noticeable results in 4-8 weeks.
