Introduction
Many people scrub their skin thinking pigmentation will fade.
But pigmentation isn’t dirt.
It’s biology.
You can’t scrub it away.
You can only treat it scientifically.
Why Pigmentation Happens
Pigmentation = excessive melanin production.
Your melanocytes (pigment cells) get triggered by:
So the problem is internal — not superficial.
- Sun exposure
- Heat
- Hormonal changes
- Genetics
- Acne marks
- Friction (neck, underarms)
- Inflammation
Types of Pigmentation (Most People Don’t Know This)
1. Melasma
Dark patches on cheeks, forehead, nose — hormonal.
2. Post-inflammatory marks
After acne.
3. Sun spots
UV damage.
4. Tan
Sun-induced surface darkening.
Each needs different treatment.
That’s why random creams don’t work.
Why Creams Alone Fail

Why Creams Alone Fail
Because creams only work on the top layer of skin, while most pigmentation sits deeper.
That’s where dermatologist treatments help:
Laser Toning
Breaks down deep melanin
Brightens skin tone
Chemical Peels
Lighten surface marks
Speed up cell turnover
Topical Serums (under guidance)
Arbutin, Kojic Acid, Azelaic Acid, Retinoids
Strict Sun Protection
The most important step!
Pigmentation Needs Time — Not Panic
It takes years to develop…
So it needs a few weeks to fade with the right care.
Consistency matters more than speed.
Conclusion
Pigmentation is stubborn, but not undefeatable.
With a dermatologist plan, correct treatments, and daily sun protection, your skin can go from patchy to even-toned in just weeks.
