Uneven skin tone, dark patches, and stubborn spots are common skin concerns that affect many people. Among these, pigmentation and melasma are two of the most frequently seen conditions, especially in Indian skin types.

While these concerns are not harmful, they can impact your appearance and confidence. Many over-the-counter products promise quick results, but often fail to treat the deeper cause of pigmentation.

At Aesthe Skin Studio, we provide advanced and customized treatments to safely reduce pigmentation and restore clear, radiant skin. In this blog, we’ll explore the causes of pigmentation and melasma, along with the most effective treatment options available.

What is Pigmentation & Melasma?

What is Pigmentation?

Pigmentation refers to the coloring of the skin caused by melanin. When melanin production becomes uneven, it leads to dark spots, patches, or uneven skin tone.

Common types include:

• Sunspots (sun damage)
• Post-acne marks
• Age spots

What is Melasma?

Melasma is a specific type of pigmentation that appears as brown or greyish patches, usually on the face—especially on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip.

It is often more stubborn and can be triggered by hormonal changes, making it common among women.

Causes of Pigmentation & Melasma

Understanding the cause is essential for effective treatment.

1. Sun Exposure

Excessive exposure to UV rays increases melanin production, leading to dark spots and patches.

2. Hormonal Changes

Pregnancy, birth control pills, and hormonal imbalances can trigger melasma.

3. Acne & Skin Inflammation

Post-inflammatory pigmentation occurs after acne, cuts, or irritation.

4. Aging

With age, skin may develop dark spots due to prolonged sun exposure.

5. Improper Skincare

Using harsh or unsuitable products can damage the skin and cause pigmentation.

6. Genetics

Some individuals are more prone to pigmentation and melasma due to hereditary factors.

7. Pollution & Environmental Damage

Urban pollution can damage the skin barrier and lead to uneven skin tone.
