If your dark spots and uneven patches look significantly worse after summer, there is a clear reason. Pigmentation treatment in Bangalore see this pattern every year, and it comes down to two things: UV radiation and heat.

Sun Triggers More Melanin

When UV hits the skin, melanocytes produce melanin as a defence response. In people prone to pigmentation, particularly Indian skin types, this response is excessive. Areas already carrying extra pigment darken disproportionately compared to surrounding skin. This is why a patch that had faded after months of treatment can look as dark as it did at the start after a single summer.

Heat Is a Separate Trigger

Most people only think about UV. But heat independently stimulates melanocyte activity. Melasma in particular is heat-sensitive, which is why patients notice flares from hot showers, steam, and outdoor heat, not just direct sunlight.

Sunscreen Alone Has Limits

Broad-spectrum sunscreen is non-negotiable, but it does not fully block visible light, which also triggers melanin production in darker skin. It also needs reapplying every two to three hours to stay effective.

Professional treatment addresses pigmentation already sitting in the deeper skin layers; sunscreen maintains results but cannot treat what has already formed.
