Skin is one of the first things people notice about us, and its health directly reflects how confident we feel. One of the most common concerns patients face today is pigmentation — the uneven coloring of the skin caused by excess or reduced melanin production. While mild pigmentation may fade on its own, persistent pigmentation often requires expert dermatological care.
At Reorma Skin & Hair Clinic, we specialize in advanced treatments designed to address pigmentation effectively and safely. Located in Karve Nagar, Pune, our clinic is known for personalized skincare solutions that restore natural radiance and even skin tone.
What is Pigmentation?
Pigmentation refers to the coloring of your skin. The pigment responsible for skin color is called melanin, produced by specialized cells known as melanocytes. When melanin production becomes imbalanced, it can result in dark patches, uneven tones, or lighter spots.

Hyperpigmentation

Darkening of the skin caused by excess melanin.

Hypopigmentation

Lightening of certain skin areas due to low melanin production.

Seen in conditions like vitiligo or after certain infections.
