Pigmentation Treatment

Pigmentation Treatment at Allodermis

Erase dark spots. Restore radiance. Heal the root.

Pigmentation is one of the most common — and most misunderstood — skin concerns in India. Melasma, freckles, sunspots, pimple marks, tan or LPP: it is rarely just a surface problem. It is a biological response driven by hormones, inflammation, genetics, UV damage and skin barrier disruption.

What is it

What is pigmentation?

Pigmentation refers to the uneven darkening of skin due to excess melanin production. Where that melanin sits decides how it behaves — and how it must be treated.

  • Epidermal layer — superficial
  • Dermal layer — deep & stubborn
  • Mixed layers — most common in Indian skin

This is why two people with the same visible dark patch can need completely different protocols. Depth, cause and severity are established first.

Pigmentation is not just a cosmetic concern — it is a biological imbalance.

Root causes

What is actually driving it

Pigmentation almost never has a single trigger. Internal and external factors compound each other.

InternalHormonal imbalances (melasma, PCOS-related hyperpigmentation)
InternalGenetics & ethnic predisposition
InternalChronic inflammation (acne-induced PIH)
InternalAge-related collagen decline
InternalThyroid disorders or endocrine dysfunction
InternalProtein or amyloid deposition (macular amyloidosis)
ExternalUV exposure
ExternalPollution & heat
ExternalIrritating skin products
ExternalRepeated friction
ExternalMedications
ExternalPost-procedure or acne-induced inflammation

AIIMS dermatologists at Allodermis evaluate all internal and external triggers before treating.

Treatments

Pigmentation treatments at Allodermis

We design a treatment plan based on depth, cause and severity — not guesswork.

01

Laser Toning

Q-Switched Nd:YAG — gold standard for melanin reduction

Non-invasive, safe for Indian skin, brightens tone, reduces deep pigmentation and improves texture.

  • Melasma
  • Sunspots
  • PIH
  • Acne marks
  • LPP
  • Tan
  • Pigmentary demarcation lines
MechanismTargets excess melanin by breaking it down into microscopic particles that your skin naturally clears.
02

Clinical Chemical Peels

Controlled cellular renewal

Medically formulated, dermatologist-strength peels that reduce melanin buildup, improve uniformity, treat acne-induced pigmentation and stimulate fresh, healthier skin.

  • AHA (Glycolic, Lactic)
  • BHA (Salicylic)
  • Retinoid
  • Azelaic / Mandelic
  • TCA
  • Cosmelan / Meline
MechanismControlled exfoliation of pigment-laden cells, followed by regulated regeneration.
03

Barrier Repair Protocols

Essential for melasma, sensitive & recurrent pigmentation

Critical for melasma, sensitive skin, recurrent pigmentation and hormone-driven pigmentation.

  • TEWL correction
  • Skin inflammation
  • Acid mantle imbalance
MechanismA damaged barrier keeps melanocytes reactive. Restoring it stops the cycle from restarting.
04

Hydra Repair & Anti-Inflammatory Regimens

Calming the trigger, not just the colour

Hydration and inflammation control run alongside active correction so results hold.

MechanismMelanin overactivity often begins with inflammation, not colour.
05

Lifestyle & Hormone Modulation

Systemic factors addressed alongside treatment

Where pigmentation is being fed by systemic factors, those are addressed in parallel.

  • Heat exposure
  • Stress
  • Nutrition
  • PCOS / Thyroid
MechanismUntreated hormonal and inflammatory drivers are the main reason pigmentation returns.
