< h4 > Introduction

Uneven skin tone, dark spots, melasma — pigmentation issues are some of the most common (and frustrating) concerns we see at NuHealth Clinic Mumbai. Whether it’s due to sun exposure, hormones, or leftover acne scars, pigmentation can affect confidence, clarity, and skin texture. But here's the good news: it’s treatable. This blog breaks down what causes pigmentation, how we diagnose it, and the most effective clinical + lifestyle treatments that really work.

🧬 What Is Skin Pigmentation?

Skin pigmentation refers to changes in melanin production, the pigment that gives your skin its color. When melanin becomes unevenly distributed or overproduced, you’ll see:

1. Dark patches or spots
2. Blotchy tone
3. Discoloration around the mouth or eyes
4. Sun-induced freckles or melasma

< h4 >🌞 Common Causes of Pigmentation

1. Sun Exposure

UV radiation stimulates melanocytes, leading to sunspots or tanning-related hyperpigmentation.

2. Hormonal Imbalance

Conditions like PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, or birth control can lead to melasma or patchy pigmentation — often seen during or after pregnancy.

3. Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)

After acne, burns, or skin trauma, you might notice dark marks that linger.

4. Genetics & Skin Type

Darker skin tones are more prone to visible pigmentation due to overactive melanin response.

5. Harsh Skincare Products

Chemical-laden products, improper exfoliation, or fragrance-heavy creams can damage your skin barrier, leading to pigmentation.

👩‍⚕️ Types of Pigmentation We Treat at NuHealth

1. Melasma (hormonal patches)
2. PIH (acne marks or injury-induced spots)
3. Lentigines (sun spots, age spots)
4. Perioral pigmentation (darkness around mouth)
5. Post-laser or post-pregnancy pigmentation

🧪 Clinical Treatments for Pigmentation at NuHealth

We use a combination approach, because pigmentation is multifactorial.

• ✅ 1. Medical-Grade Peels: Black peel, yellow peel, and TCA peels help exfoliate and resurface, reducing deep pigmentation.
• ✅ 2. Laser & Light-Based Therapy: Q-switched laser or IPL targets melanin at deeper skin levels, often combined with topical care.
• ✅ 3. Microneedling with Serums: Dermapen + glutathione or tranexamic acid infusion encourages regeneration and brightening.
• ✅ 4. Lip Pigmentation Treatments: Gentle peeling + hydration protocols that restore natural lip tone.
• ✅ 5. IV Glutathione + Vitamin C: Boosts skin detox from within and helps with full-body brightness.

< h4 >🏠 At - Home Protocols That Support Results

1. Use broad-spectrum SPF 50+ daily (even indoors)
2. Incorporate Vitamin C, azelaic acid, or niacinamide into your routine
3. Avoid DIY scrubs or harsh exfoliants
4. Stay consistent — pigmentation takes time to fade!

🧠 Why Pigmentation Treatment Needs a Plan

Every pigmentation case is different. What works for acne scars won’t work for melasma. That’s why we start with:

1. Skin analysis + history
2. Hormone and gut function screening (if needed)
3. Lifestyle mapping and barrier health assessment
