Study Overview
Brief Summary
Pigmentary disorders are common dermatological conditions that frequently affect individuals with skin of color, including Asian and Indian populations, often causing significant psychosocial distress
The visible nature of these lesions commonly impacts an individuals quality of life
The following study will compare the efficacy and safety profiles of both picosecond Nd:YAG and Q Switched Nd:YAG lasers for hyperpigmentary diorders in Indian skin type
This study would first of its kind especially in Indian population
