What is Pigmentation?
Pigmentation is a condition in which excess melanin production occurs. In this situation, your skin’s natural pigment is responsible for skin color, which mean it becomes uneven. Our dermatologists at Aarna Clinic use USFDA-approved technologies and clinically proven procedures to effectively reduce dark spots, treat melasma, and brighten your overall complexion safely.
Whether you’re dealing with long-standing pigmentation or new spots caused by sun or hormonal changes, we create a personalized treatment plan that targets your unique skin concerns.
How many types of Pigmentation
Different types of pigmentation require different approaches. At Aarna Clinic, we treat all forms of skin discoloration, including:
Melasma
Brown or gray-brown patches commonly found on the face, usually caused by hormonal changes or sun exposure.
Hyperpigmentation
A condition where skin is generally darkened by an excess in melanin production.
Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
PIH is when dark spots or areas appear after a breakout, injury, or skin irritation.
Sunspots (Lentigines)
These are flat, brown spots created by sun exposure and aging.
Symptoms of Pigmentation
Common indications that show problems in pigmentation include:
- Uneven skin tone or blotchy complexion
- Brown, grey or black patches on the face, neck or arms
- Freckles or sunspots that darken with sun exposure
- Discoloration following acne or injury
- Skin that looks dull or lifeless, even with skin care
Causes of Pigmentation
Some of the internal and external factors causing pigmentation are as follows:
- Sun Exposure – Too much UV exposure increases melanin production. It can be caused by hormonal changes, such as pregnancy, birth control, or thyroid conditions.
- Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation – Acne, cuts, or burns can leave these dark marks.
- Genetics – Some people are prone to pigmentation.
- Aging – As years pass by, natural skin renewal decreases, leading to uneven tone. Certain medications such as antibiotics and chemotherapy are the factors may also lead to pigmentation.

How to Prevent Pigmentation?

- Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen, at least SPF 30+, every day.
- Avoid going out between 10 AM and 4 PM.
- Include antioxidants like Vitamin C into your skincare.
- Don’t pick or squeeze pimples; it leads to mark marks.

Schedule regular maintenance treatments with your dermatologist.
