Are you tired of dark and dull-looking skin?
Did you know that dark or tanned skin occurs due to the deposition of melanin in the skin? Pigmentation can be caused by several factors like hormones, UV exposure, pollution, chemicals, genetics, and cosmetic creams. All treatments for skin whitening are minimally invasive or non-invasive, making them safe.
Skin lightening treatment helps achieve a lighter skin complexion, lightens pigmented areas, and restores the lost glow. Your board-certified dermatologist will examine your skin and, depending on the skin type, tone, and texture, will recommend a suitable skin whitening treatment for you.
Different Types of Skin Lightening Treatments
Topical Medications: Topical agents are recommended for specific/localized pigmentation issues such as kojic acid, hydroquinone, arbutin, glycolic acid, and topical glutathione. These agents will be prescribed by a dermatologist based on the severity of the pigmentation. They must be used long-term and as a maintenance therapy in conjunction with other skin whitening procedures. Oral agents like B carotene and glutathione are antioxidants that help detoxify and protect you from the harmful effects of the sun.
Chemical Peels: Chemical Peels Treatment, also called chemexfoliation, involves the application of a chemical agent to the skin, causing controlled destruction of part of the epidermis. This leads to the regeneration of new epidermis, reduction of melanin buildup, and improvement of skin texture, tone, and surface abnormalities. Depending on the strength and concentration, multiple sessions might be required for better results.

Other injectables like Platelet Rich Plasma, which releases growth factors, also help in rejuvenating the skin.
