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 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.
What is actually driving it
Pigmentation almost never has a single trigger. Internal and external factors compound each other.
AIIMS dermatologists at Allodermis evaluate all internal and external triggers before treating.
