Serene Derma Kollam
Pigmentation Treatment in Kollam
What causes pigmentation?
Pigmentation happens when the skin makes too much melanin in some areas, leaving brown, black or grey patches. Sun exposure, hormonal changes, ageing and genetics are common triggers. It can appear on the whole face or only in areas such as around the eyes or the lips, and each type has different causes:
- Facial pigmentation: melasma, post-inflammatory pigmentation after acne or injury, acquired dermal pigmentation, facial acanthosis and maturational pigmentation
- Dark circles: genetics, rubbing the eyes, lack of sleep and age-related skin changes
- Dark lips: genetics, smoking, dryness, frequent lip biting or licking, and reactions to cosmetics
Because treatment depends on the type and cause, your dermatologist first examines the pattern of your pigmentation.

Frequently asked questions
Pigmentation is caused by the skin producing too much melanin. Sun exposure, hormonal changes, age and genetics all contribute to concerns such as dark spots, melasma and hyperpigmentation.
It varies with the type and depth of pigmentation and the treatment used. Many peels are done in a course of 4–6 sessions about 2 weeks apart; your dermatologist will advise the right plan for you.
Melasma can be lightened well with treatment, but it tends to come back with sun exposure and hormonal changes, so sun protection and maintenance care are important.
