Mechanism 01
Depth Decides Everything
Pigment near the surface clears far more readily than pigment sitting deep in the skin. Identifying the depth determines which treatment can actually reach it.

Understanding the Concern
What causespigmentation & dark spots? Q-switch laser toning?
"Pigmentation is not one condition. Sun spots, hormonal patches and post-inflammatory marks look similar but behave completely differently — and treating the wrong one is why so many people give up."
Pigmentation and dark spots in Bengaluru are among the most common reasons people visit Dermis 365, and also the most misunderstood. Pigmentation happens when melanocytes — the cells that produce melanin — make too much of it, either in patches or as discrete spots. The trigger varies: ultraviolet light drives sun spots, hormones drive melasma, and inflammation from acne or injury drives post-inflammatory pigmentation. Each type sits at a different depth and responds to a different treatment.
On melanin-rich Indian skin, melanocytes are more active and more easily provoked, which is exactly why pigmentation is common here and why aggressive treatment can backfire and worsen it. At our Kanakapura Main Road clinic, every consultation begins with AI skin analysis and a Doctor assessment to identify the type and depth of your pigmentation, because that determines whether treatment succeeds or simply darkens the skin further.
Common Causes
Chronic sun exposure without protection
Hormonal changes — pregnancy, cycles
Post-inflammatory pigmentation from acne
Melanin-rich skin with active melanocytes
Genetic predisposition to pigmentation
Friction and heat on the skin
Certain medications and cosmetics
Skin injury, burns or picking
Ageing sun spots and lentigines
Inadequate daily sun protection
Identify Your Type
Which type doyou have? laser toning treat?
These look similar but need entirely different treatment. Getting this right is the single most important step.
Sun Spots (Sunspots)
Flat brown spots from years of sun exposure, usually on the face, hands and arms. Respond well to targeted laser.
Melasma
Larger, symmetrical brown or grey patches, often hormonal. Managed rather than cured, and easily worsened by the wrong treatment.
Post-Inflammatory (PIH)
Brown marks left after acne, injury or inflammation. Very common on Indian skin and treatable with pigment-targeting protocols.
Freckles & Lentigines
Small, well-defined spots, often sun-related or genetic. Respond to laser and brightening treatment.
Deep (Dermal) Pigment
Pigment sitting deeper in the skin, often grey-toned and more stubborn. Needs careful, gradual treatment.
Mixed Pigmentation
Most people have more than one type together — which is why single treatments so often disappoint.
The Science
Why pigmentation isso persistent suits Indian skin
Three facts explain why pigment is stubborn and why the wrong treatment worsens it.
Mechanism 02
Inflammation Makes More
Aggressive or wrong treatment inflames the skin, and inflammation tells melanocytes to make more pigment. On Indian skin, this rebound is the commonest reason pigmentation worsens.
Mechanism 03
Sun Undoes Progress
Ultraviolet light re-triggers pigment production continuously. Without daily protection, every treatment gain is steadily reversed — sunscreen is half the treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pigmentation & Dark Spots FAQs
Excess melanin, triggered in different ways: ultraviolet light causes sun spots, hormones cause melasma, and inflammation from acne or injury causes post-inflammatory pigmentation. Melanin-rich skin is more prone to all of them, and each type needs a different treatment.
Most only affect the surface and cannot reach pigment sitting deeper, and some irritate the skin and worsen pigmentation on Indian skin. Identifying your pigment type and treating it at the right depth is what actually works.
Sun spots and post-inflammatory marks can often be cleared substantially and stay clear with sun protection. Melasma, however, is managed rather than cured. We are honest about which type you have and what is realistically achievable.
Yes, when properly calibrated. Melanin-rich skin can rebound with pigment if treated too aggressively, so gentle, conservative laser settings and Doctor supervision matter here more than anywhere else. Every plan is tailored to your skin tone.
It depends on the type and depth. Surface pigment may clear in 4–6 sessions, while deeper or resistant pigment needs more. Individual responses vary and your plan is set at consultation.
Usually sun exposure — ultraviolet light continuously re-triggers pigment. Hormonal pigmentation can also recur. Daily sun protection and maintenance are what keep results, which is why we build them into every plan.
