Best Skin Lightening Treatment Options
Different kinds of treatments are available to achieve skin lightening results. According to your needs, you can go with a skin lightening procedure on a specified body part or a face lightening treatment. Some of the most common skin lightening treatments are as follows –
- Chemical Peel For Lightening Skin: In this procedure, a dermatologist will recommend the application of a solution containing alpha-hydroxy acids extracted from natural sources to exfoliate the damaged upper layers of the skin. It helps to eliminate the melanin buildup and allows healthy tissue to appear on the surface. On the basis of the concentration, chemical peels can be of three types – light, medium, or deep. A chemical peel is a gentle option to lighten discoloured skin by effectively reducing facial blemishes, tan, dark spots and even out the skin tone. Chemical peels are suitable for a facial skin lightening procedure.
- Laser Treatment For Skin Lightening: While performing the laser treatment, the doctors use a concentrated beam of light to minimise the melanin buildup in the target area. The immune system of the skin eventually removes the remnants of the pigment. As a result, the skin appears healthier and brighter than before. The regenerated skin is flawless. Also known as laser peel or lasabrasion, the laser treatment helps in effectively reducing concerns like skin pigmentation, dark spots, sun tanning and dull skin. Laser treatment is safe for brightening the skin tone of both the face and specific body areas.
- Skin Lightening Injections: Skin whitening injections contain glutathione, a skin lightening agent that minimises the production of an enzyme called tyrosinase, which increases the melanin levels. As per popular perception, these injections can detoxify the body, protect the skin from harmful UV rays and enhance your skin tone. The “Natural Medicine Comprehensive Database” classified the use of this injection in the “possibly safe” category, though it does not comment on its efficacy as a skin-lightening agent. Some studies suggest a high dosage of glutathione is unsafe and may cause severe side effects. Currently, there is a paucity of evidence-based studies to ascertain the results of glutathione. Although selected skin clinics offer these injections, it is advisable you make an informed decision.
- Skin Lightening Products: You can find a wide range of chemical-based skin lightening products in the market. Most of them have ingredients like azelaic acid, arbutin, retinol, hydroquinone, glycolic acid, lactic acid and kojic acid. Some of these chemical components are popular for their bleaching properties which might lighten your skin immediately but will not offer lasting results and might cause some side effects. These are not advisable for long term use.
- Arbutin: It is a popular ingredient in many skin lightening products and anti-pigmentation solutions. It helps lighten the colour of the skin and is extremely effective for reducing freckles, stretch marks, as well as ageing spots.
- Skin Whitening Surgery: Today, there is a massive interest in availing medically invasive procedures to treat pigmentary concerns. However, “skin whitening surgeries” do not exist. Performed by experienced and qualified dermatologists, most of the skin lightening treatments like laser toning and chemical peels are safe, effective, non-invasive and in-clinic procedures that require no hospitalisation.
