Skin pigmentation concerns are more common than you might think, especially in a city like Chennai where heat, sun exposure, and pollution can all contribute to uneven skin tone. At HALOS Dermatology and Aesthetics in Aminjikarai, we understand how pigmentation can affect not just your appearance, but also your confidence. Whether you’re dealing with sun spots, melasma, post-acne marks, or general skin discoloration, we offer a personalized, medically driven approach that goes beyond superficial solutions. Our goal is to treat the root cause of pigmentation and help you regain clear, even-toned, and glowing skin.

Pigmentation treatments require not just cosmetic intervention, but an expert understanding of skin biology. Every person’s pigmentation story is different—some cases are genetic, some hormonal, and others triggered by lifestyle or environmental stress. That’s why at HALOS, we begin with a deep diagnostic scan of your skin to understand the depth and type of pigmentation. From there, we create a structured treatment plan that combines clinical therapies, skincare support, and follow-ups to ensure long-term improvement and prevention of recurrence.

  • Personalized pigmentation correction for all skin types
  • Advanced skin analysis to assess depth and root cause
  • Combination therapy for faster and long-lasting results
  • Dermatologist-supervised care at every stage
  • Tailored aftercare to prevent pigmentation return
  • Trusted by Chennai clients for safe, clear skin solutions

Understanding the Different Types of Pigmentation

Pigmentation is not a one-size-fits-all issue. The term covers a wide range of conditions, including freckles, sun spots (solar lentigines), melasma, PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), and age-related changes. Each type forms due to a different trigger, whether it’s excessive sun exposure, hormonal changes like pregnancy or thyroid conditions, post-acne scarring, or even underlying health issues. Identifying the exact type is key to successful treatment.

At HALOS, we use professional skin diagnostics to map pigmentation layers—whether it’s superficial (epidermal) or deeper (dermal). This helps us select the right tools for treatment, such as peels, lasers, or topical therapy. Most importantly, we aim not just to reduce the visible patches but to restore your skin’s natural balance from within. We also help you understand and manage external triggers like UV exposure and stress to prevent re-pigmentation.

  • Melasma, PIH, sun spots, and age-related spots treated
  • Hormonal and post-acne pigmentation solutions
  • Differentiation between dermal and epidermal layers
  • Focus on both treatment and prevention
  • In-depth skin assessments for tailored results
  • Chennai’s climate and sun exposure factors considered

What Treatments Are Offered for Pigmentation at HALOS?

At HALOS, we offer a wide spectrum of pigmentation treatments designed to suit your skin type and the severity of discoloration. These include chemical peels that exfoliate and renew the skin, Q-switched laser toning that targets deeper melanin deposits, and microneedling with serums or PRP that rebuilds healthy skin from within. We also offer skin-brightening facials and cosmeceutical prescriptions to maintain your skin’s clarity over time.

The strength of our approach lies in combining modalities. For example, a patient with melasma may benefit from gentle peels followed by low-fluence laser toning, supported with topical creams. For post-acne pigmentation, we might use microneedling and brightening agents. We don’t believe in blanket treatments—your skin gets exactly what it needs, when it needs it, with constant dermatologist supervision throughout the journey.

  • Q-switched laser toning for deep pigmentation
  • Medical-grade chemical peels for surface correction
  • Microneedling + PRP to promote cell turnover
  • Skin brightening facials for subtle glow improvement
  • Topical treatments to support in-clinic sessions
  • Combination therapies personalized per skin condition

How Long Does It Take to See Results?

Pigmentation treatment is a gradual process that requires consistency and professional care. Depending on the depth and type of pigmentation, visible results can be seen anywhere from 3 to 6 sessions. Deeper pigmentation may take more time, but the key is to approach treatment gently to avoid skin irritation or rebound darkening, especially in sensitive skin types.

At HALOS, we’re transparent about expected timelines and outcomes. While we aim for steady improvement in each session, we also prepare you for the long haul—especially with stubborn conditions like melasma. Maintenance therapy and lifestyle changes are equally important, and we’ll guide you every step of the way. Our patients appreciate the honesty, care, and clarity we bring to this process.

  • Initial results in as early as 2–3 weeks
  • Full improvement usually in 3–6 sessions
  • Mild cases respond quicker with peels or creams
  • Melasma and deep pigmentation take longer to fade
  • Maintenance support included in treatment plans
  • No false promises—just professional results over time

Frequently asked questions

Yes, absolutely. At HALOS, we specialize in treating Indian skin types, including sensitive and melanin-rich skin. Every treatment is customized to ensure safety, effectiveness, and zero damage—no matter your skin tone.

Pigmentation can return if not maintained properly. That’s why we include preventive care, skincare advice, and sun protection guidance in your treatment plan. With proper care, results can be long-lasting and even permanent in many cases.

We begin every journey with a detailed skin analysis to identify the depth and type of pigmentation. Based on this, our dermatologist will design a personalized treatment plan using peels, lasers, or topical care to suit your skin.

For most treatments like peels or lasers, we recommend waiting 24–48 hours before applying makeup. This gives your skin time to heal and prevents clogging or irritation during the recovery period.

The goal of pigmentation treatment is to even out your natural skin tone, not bleach or lighten it unnaturally. You’ll see a visible reduction in dark spots and a brighter, healthier glow—but your skin tone remains authentically you.
