Pigmentation Treatment in Delhi

Pigmentation is a common concern in people with Asian Skin. Pigment is the reason for our skin color. Melanin is the pigment responsible for our color.

Types of Pigmentation

Hyperpigmentation – Increase in the amount of Pigmentation leading to the appearance of a darker tone or areas than our normal colour. This is usually the result of excess production of Melanin.

This can happen in: 

  • Uneven Skin Tone / Sun Tan
  • Freckles
  • Melasma

Hypopigmentation – There is a decreased amount of Pigmentation or Melanin production leading to lighter areas or tone than the normal skin.

What Causes Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation can be caused by various causes:

  1. Excess Melanin Production – The cause of Hyperpigmentation is excess melanin production. Melanin is a pigment that gives skin its colour. It’s produced by skin cells called melanocytes.

  2. Medication –  Certain medications can cause Hyperpigmentation like painkillers, antimalarials, tetracycline antibiotics, anti-cancer drugs, psychiatric drugs, antimalarial etc.

  3. Pregnancy – Changes in hormonal levels can affect melanin production and can cause increased areas of Pigmentation in the face, groin, breast etc. Usually, these changes reverse after pregnancy but sometimes they can persist longer and require treatments.

  4. Addison’s Disease – A rare endocrine disease that can produce Hyperpigmentation in areas of sun exposure such as the face, neck, hands etc.
