Pigmentation Treatment

Identify the source of dark spots and uneven tone to build a safe, progressive clearing pathway.

Hyperpigmentation—whether presenting as sun spots, freckles, post-inflammatory marks from old acne, or hormonal melasma—requires careful clinical classification. Treating all pigment patterns with the same heavy bleaching creams or aggressive lasers often destroys the skin barrier and leads to severe rebound darkening. Dr. Neerja Nellogi prioritizes an accurate diagnosis first, determining exactly what depth the pigment resides in before creating a tailored plan.

The signature rule

Progressive correction always wins over aggressive destruction. By protecting your skin barrier throughout the treatment process, we ensure lasting clarity and prevent the devastating effects of rebound hyperpigmentation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pigmentation Treatment

How long does it take to fade dark spots?
Because melanin resides at different depths, superficial sun spots may fade in 3 to 4 weeks with peels and creams. Deeper dermal pigmentation or melasma requires a dedicated 3 to 6-month clinical strategy.
Are steroid creams safe for lightening skin?
No. We strictly prohibit the use of topical steroids for skin lightening. They cause severe, often irreversible damage including skin thinning (atrophy), visible blood vessels, and steroid-induced acne.
Can I stop using sunscreen once the pigment is gone?
Absolutely not. Your melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) have a "memory." If you expose unprotected skin to UV rays, the dark spots will return almost immediately. Daily sunscreen is a lifelong commitment.
