What is Pigmentation?
Pigmentation happens when your skin produces extra melanin in certain areas. It can appear as dark spots, patchy tone, tanning, or stubborn brown/grey patches. It’s common—and treatable—but the correct plan depends on the type and trigger.
Melanin imbalance
Trigger-based
Needs a targeted plan
Why people get stuck
- Random “whitening” products without diagnosis
- Skipping sunscreen (results stop or reverse)
- Over-exfoliation damaging the barrier
- Melasma treated like normal dark spots
Reality check: Melasma is managed long-term. Any “7-day permanent removal” claim is marketing.
Types of Pigmentation We Evaluate
Different type = different treatment. Select your closest match in the form.
Melasma
Hormonal patchy pigmentation
Sun Spots
UV-damage marks
Tanning
Uneven tone & dullness
Post-inflammation
After rash/irritation/waxing
Mixed Type
Combination cases
Common Causes
We look for triggers before recommending actives or treatments.
01
Sun exposure (UV)
The biggest driver. Without sunscreen, pigmentation usually returns.
02
Hormones
Pregnancy, PCOS, thyroid imbalance, pills—often linked to melasma.
03
Inflammation
Acne, irritation, allergies; picking makes marks darker and longer-lasting.
04
Barrier damage
Over-exfoliation, harsh products, “strong creams” causing rebound darkness.
Treatment Options (Based on Cause)
We combine safe home routine + clinic procedures when needed.
At-home (Core Routine)
Safe routine that actually helps
- Daily sunscreen + reapplication
- Gentle cleanser (no scrubs)
- Brightening actives (doctor-guided)
- Barrier repair for sensitive skin
- Night routine based on tolerance
Best for: early spots, tanning, maintenance, sensitive skin.
Clinic (Case-based)
When routine alone isn’t enough
- Chemical peels for tone + PIH
- Toning/laser options (skin-type dependent)
- Microneedling for marks + texture
- Prescription topicals for melasma
- Follow-up refinement for stability
Best for: stubborn patches, melasma, repeated relapse cases.
Expected Results Timeline
Realistic expectations. Consistency + sunscreen = results.
Week 2–4
Tone looks calmer, less dull
Week 4–8
Spots start fading gradually
Week 8–12
Noticeable improvement (case-based)
Important: If you stop sunscreen, pigmentation can return even after improvement.

FAQs
Short answers. No fluff.
What is the difference between melasma and dark spots?
Melasma is hormonal and patchy; dark spots (PIH) are often post-acne or inflammation-based.
Can pigmentation be removed completely?
Many cases improve a lot. Melasma often needs long-term management to prevent relapse.
How long does it take to see results?
Typically 4–12 weeks depending on type, depth, and sunscreen consistency.
Is laser safe for Indian skin?
It can be safe when chosen correctly. Wrong laser/settings can worsen pigmentation—case selection matters.
Why does pigmentation come back?
UV exposure, hormones, and barrier damage are common relapse triggers—maintenance is key.
