Understanding Pigmentation
Pigmentation refers to changes in skin color caused by increased melanin production. It appears as dark spots, patches, or uneven skin tone and can result from sun damage, hormonal changes, inflammation, or medical conditions. Pigmentation is one of the most common skin concerns treated at Dermacian Jaipur, and we offer multiple advanced treatments to restore even, radiant skin tone.
Signs & Symptoms
Causes & Risk Factors
Sun exposure — UV light stimulates melanin production, causing sun spots and freckles
Hormonal changes — pregnancy, birth control, and menopause can trigger melasma
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — darkening after acne, eczema, cuts, or burns
Skin trauma — picking at skin, harsh treatments, or chemical exposure
Medications — certain drugs cause photosensitivity and pigmentation
Genetics — some people are more prone to pigmentation than others
Aging — age spots develop from cumulative sun exposure over years
When to See a Dermatologist
- Pigmentation is affecting your appearance and confidence
- Dark spots are spreading or darkening
- Over-the-counter lightening products aren’t working
- You have post-acne marks that aren’t fading
- Pigmentation appeared suddenly or is changing rapidly
- You want a proper diagnosis and professional treatment plan
