Pigmentation Treatment
Dr. Singh’s Cosmedica Department of Aesthetic Medicine & Cosmetic Dentistry
Persistent pigmentation, dark spots or uneven skin tone can be frustrating, especially when they continue despite regular skincare.
At Dr. Singh’s Cosmedica Department, pigmentation concerns are assessed individually to understand the pattern, possible contributing factors and your skin characteristics before an appropriate treatment approach is recommended.
Located in Halasuru (Ulsoor), Bengaluru, our Department of Aesthetic Medicine provides personalised care for pigmentation, hyperpigmentation, dark spots, uneven skin tone and selected pigmentation concerns such as melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
The goal is not simply to lighten the skin. It is to improve the appearance of pigmentation while taking into account why it developed and how your skin responds to treatment.
What is Pigmentation?
Pigmentation refers to changes in the colour of the skin caused by changes in melanin production or distribution.
It may appear as:
- Brown or darker patches
- Dark spots
- Uneven skin tone
- Pigmentation after acne or inflammation
- Patchy facial pigmentation
- Persistent areas of darker skin
Because pigmentation can have different causes and patterns, the same treatment is not necessarily appropriate for everyone.
Common Pigmentation Concerns:
Melasma
Melasma commonly appears as darker, patchy areas on the face, particularly around the cheeks, forehead, nose or upper lip. It can be influenced by factors including sunlight, hormonal changes and individual susceptibility.
Melasma can be persistent or recurrent, so treatment is generally planned with realistic expectations and long-term skin management in mind.
Post-inflammatory Pigmentation
Dark marks can remain after acne, irritation, inflammation or injury to the skin. This is known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and can be persistent in some individuals.
Sun-related Pigmentation
Repeated sun exposure can stimulate melanin production and make existing pigmentation more noticeable. Appropriate sun protection is therefore an important part of managing many pigmentation concerns.
Dark Spots & Uneven Skintone
Some patients are concerned about individual dark spots, while others notice a more general unevenness in their complexion. The underlying reason can differ from person to person.
What Causes Pigmentation?
Pigmentation can develop due to a variety of factors, including:
- Sun exposure
- Hormonal changes
- Melasma
- Acne and post-inflammatory changes
- Skin inflammation
- Skin irritation
- Certain medications
- Genetic and individual skin characteristics
- Age-related changes
- Previous skin injuries or procedures
- Underlying medical conditions
The exact cause and pattern can vary from person to person. An individual assessment helps determine the most appropriate approach.
