What is Pigmentation?
Pigmentation means patches of skin that are darker than the surrounding area — melasma on the cheeks and forehead, sun spots, freckles, or dark marks left after acne. It often worsens with sun exposure, hormonal changes, pregnancy or certain medicines.
Bleaching creams can thin the skin and pigment frequently returns. We combine internal medicines that address Pitta and liver function with herbal applications and sun-care habits for a gradual, lasting improvement.
The Ayurvedic view — Vyanga / Nilika
Facial pigmentation is described as Vyanga (and Nilika for darker patches). Aggravated Pitta, influenced by Vata and stress, disturbs the colour-giving Bhrajaka Pitta in the skin. Liver health, digestion and emotional balance therefore matter as much as external care.

Stages of Pigmentation & How Your Medicine Changes
We do not give every Pigmentation patient the same medicine. Your formulation, dose and therapies depend on the stage of the disease:
Superficial
Light brown, well-defined spots of recent onset.
Herbal face packs, Kumkumadi-type oils and sun protection; short internal course.
Mixed
Patches that are both brown and greyish; months to years old.
Internal Pitta-pacifying and liver-supporting medicines with regular topical care.
Deep / Resistant
Grey-blue, long-standing melasma that returns after treatments.
Longer internal therapy, detox where suitable and strict trigger control; slow but steady goals.
