Skin Pigmentation Treatment in Pune
Medical and cosmetic treatment options for uneven skin pigmentation at Arra Aesthetics
Skin pigmentation refers to changes in the colour of the skin caused by changes in melanin production. Pigmentation can appear as darker patches, spots or uneven areas on the face and other parts of the body.
At Arra Aesthetics, pigmentation treatment is selected based on the type, depth and cause of pigmentation. Treatment options may include topical creams, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, mesotherapy and laser treatment.
What is Skin Pigmentation?
Skin pigmentation is related to the production of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. When the cells that produce melanin become affected, the amount or distribution of melanin can change.
This can lead to darker or uneven areas of skin. Pigmentation may affect the entire body or appear only on specific patches of skin.
Skin pigmentation can occur at different depths:
Superficial or Epidermal Pigmentation
This type affects the upper layers of the skin. It may be associated with sun exposure or genetics.
Dermal or Deep Pigmentation
This type occurs deeper within the skin. It may be associated with sun exposure, genetics or hormonal changes.
Mixed Dermal and Epidermal Pigmentation
Some pigmentation involves both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin.
Melasma is an example. It can appear as brown or blue-grey patches, particularly on the face.

What Types of Skin Pigmentation Can Be Treated?
Uneven Skin Tone
Pigmentation can make some areas of the skin appear darker than others. Treatment may help reduce the appearance of uneven pigmentation and improve the overall appearance of the skin tone.
Sun-Related Pigmentation
Regular exposure to ultraviolet radiation can contribute to pigmentation. Treatment can be selected according to the type and depth of sun-related pigmentation.
Pigmentation After Acne or Skin Trauma
Severe acne and other forms of skin trauma can leave darker areas on the skin. These changes may be treated using suitable pigmentation treatments.
Melasma
Melasma can cause brown or blue-grey patches on the face. The treatment approach depends on the depth and cause of the pigmentation.
Freckles and Pigmented Spots
Some superficial pigmentation conditions include freckles, solar lentigos and cafe-au-lait macules. A doctor can assess the pigmentation before recommending treatment.
