Struggling with Uneven skin tone

Uneven skin tone refers to patches of skin that appear darker or duller than the surrounding areas, giving the complexion a blotchy or tanned appearance. It’s a common concern, especially in Indian and Asian skin types that are more prone to pigmentation and tanning due to higher melanin levels. Factors like sun exposure, hormonal changes, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and even certain cosmetics or lifestyle habits can contribute to an uneven complexion. While mild cases may improve with basic skin care, persistent or deeper pigmentation often requires professional treatments.

Causes

Understanding Uneven Skin Tone

Uneven skin tone is typically caused by an overproduction of melanin, the skin’s natural pigment. Prolonged sun exposure is one of the most common triggers, as UV rays stimulate melanocyte activity, resulting in tanning or pigmentation. Hormonal fluctuations, especially during pregnancy, menopause, or due to oral contraceptives, can also lead to pigmentation issues. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), which appears after acne, cuts, or rashes, is another frequent cause. Environmental pollution, heat, genetics, improper skincare products, and even stress can worsen the problem. Individuals with darker skin tones are naturally more prone to uneven pigmentation because of higher melanin activity.

Uneven skin tone treatment options

Our Uneven Skin tone solution Include:

Daily Sun Protection

Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every day—even when indoors. This helps prevent further pigmentation and protects your skin barrier.

Antioxidant-Rich Diet

Consistent Care

How long will it take to see improvements in my uneven skin tone?

Improvement in uneven skin tone depends on the cause and depth of pigmentation. While some patients notice a visible glow and brightness within 1-2 sessions, deeper or long-standing pigmentation may require 4–6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Medical facials often give instant freshness, while treatments like lasers or chemical peels may show more gradual improvement over 3–6 weeks. Consistent home care and sun protection significantly improve and maintain the results.

Is It a One-Time Fix?

Uneven skin tone can return if underlying causes like sun exposure, hormonal imbalances, or post-inflammatory damage aren’t addressed. Long-term maintenance includes proper skincare, regular use of sunscreen, and occasional follow-up treatments. Once the skin evens out, maintaining the results is possible with a simple home routine and 2–3 in-clinic sessions a year, depending on your skin type and lifestyle.
