Introduction
Pigmentation is one of the leading concerns when it comes to skin problems that people face now-a-days. Especially in India with lots of sun exposure, pollution and lifestyle, pigmentation can’t be avoided by many which lead to stressful days for a majority of them. Whether it be dark spots, uneven tone or melasma, pigmentation can compromise both your complexion and confidence.
The good news is pigmentation can be dealt with, and well and truly managed through the right skincare regime. In this blog, let’s get to know what pigmentation is, the causes and the best treatments for it – professional products like the Pigmentation Treatment Kit, Night Cream & Skin Brightening Facewash by Devriz Healthcare.
What is Pigmentation?
Pigmentation is the natural colour of skin as a result of pigment being present in the skin. Melanin, produced by the cells we call melanocytes, is what gives you your natural skin tone. But when this melanin production develops an uneven or intense response, hyperpigmentation can present as dark patches, spots and inconsistent skin color.
Harmless pigmentation is not dangerous but it may be cosmetic nuisance. But it’s most often caused by a handful of external and internal factors that overstimulate melanin.
Common Causes of Pigmentation
1. Sun Exposure
The sun is the biggest contributor to pigmentation. UV rays stimulate melanin production, leading to tanning and dark spots. Without proper sun protection, pigmentation worsens over time.
2. Hormonal Changes
Hormonal imbalances, especially in women during pregnancy or while taking birth control pills, can cause melasma — a form of pigmentation that appears on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip.
3. Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation
Acne, eczema, or even minor injuries can leave behind dark marks. This type of pigmentation is known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
4. Aging and Lifestyle
As we age, the skin’s natural cell turnover slows down, allowing pigment to settle deeper. Unhealthy habits such as smoking or irregular sleep worsen the condition.
5. Genetic Factors
Some individuals are genetically more prone to pigmentation due to their skin type or family history.
Types of Pigmentation
Melasma
Melasma is characterized by brown or gray patches that usually appear on the face. It is often linked to hormonal changes and sun exposure.
Sunspots
Also known as solar lentigines, these are caused by prolonged UV exposure. They commonly appear on areas frequently exposed to sunlight — face, arms, and shoulders.
Freckles
Freckles are small brown spots that often become darker with sun exposure. While harmless, they are still considered a type of pigmentation.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Dark marks left behind by pimples or injuries fall under this category. It’s common in acne-prone skin and can fade with consistent care.
How to Treat Pigmentation
Pigmentation requires a combination of skincare products, lifestyle changes, and sometimes medical treatments. Let’s go step-by-step.
Step 1: Use Gentle Cleansers
Start with a mild, brightening cleanser like the Skin Brightening Facewash from Devriz Healthcare. It helps remove impurities, balances oil, and preps the skin for treatment without irritation.
Step 2: Exfoliate Regularly
Gentle exfoliation removes dead cells and improves skin tone. Look for mild exfoliants containing glycollic acid or lactic acid.
Step 3: Apply Targeted Treatments
Products formulated to reduce pigmentation, such as Pigmentation Treatment Kits, combine active ingredients like kojic acid, alpha arbutin, and vitamin C to lighten dark spots and even out tone.
Step 4: Protect with Sunscreen
Sunscreen is your best defense against pigmentation. Use SPF 30 or higher daily, even indoors. It prevents new spots and stops existing ones from worsening.
Step 5: Nourish with a Night Cream
A restorative night cream supports skin repair and renewal while you sleep. This helps in lightening pigmentation and improving texture over time.
Advanced Clinical Treatments for Pigmentation
1. Chemical Peels
These treatments use mild acids to remove the outer pigmented layer, revealing fresh, clear skin beneath.
2. Laser Therapy
Laser treatments target and break down pigment deposits, suitable for deeper pigmentation issues.
3. Microdermabrasion
A gentle exfoliation procedure that removes dead cells and stimulates collagen production.
These treatments should always be done by certified dermatologists for safe and effective results.
Natural Remedies to Support Pigmentation Treatment
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera contains aloin, a natural depigmenting compound that helps fade dark spots.
Licorice Extract
Licorice brightens skin by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for melanin production.
Green Tea Extract
Its antioxidants reduce oxidative stress and help control pigmentation.
Vitamin C
A potent antioxidant that reduces pigmentation and enhances skin brightness.
Preventive Tips for Pigmentation
