Skin Whitening
Skin Whitening Process – For ages, fair and youthful skin has been idolized in our songs, fairy tales and movies. The protagonist is always a light skinned damsel, the subject of hero’s interest is invariably a fair, blue eyed young girl. Songs have been written appreciating the milky white complexion of young maidens. This reflects the mindset of our society which has always equated fair skin with beauty. While the excessive focus on complexion may be a matter of debate, flawless fair skin is desired by all. Medically this can be achieved by a combination of treatments and procedures.
Uses Of Steroid:-
Steroid based creams marketed as fairness creams are available but their prolonged use leads to thinning of the skin, hair growth, premature ageing and sensitivity to sunlight. They should be used with caution and under expert supervision only. Non steroidal creams containing kojic acid, arbutin, glutathione, azelaic acid etc. help to reduce pigmentation and correct the uneven skin tone.
Injections For Skin Whitening:-
Glutathione is a potent antioxidant molecule used for skin lightening. It is naturally available in tomatoes, avocados, walnuts, asparagus. For skin whitening it is available in the form of capsules, creams, face washes and intravenous injections. Intravenous glutathione is increasingly becoming popular due to its instant whitening effect. It is administered via a drip under the supervision of a doctor. The injections can be taken once or twice weekly. Always consult a dermatologist before opting for this treatment as there are potential side effects like lightening of hair, patchy hypopigmentation, gastro intestinal problems.
Chemical Peels For Skin Whitening:-
Chemical peels like arginine peel, lactic acid peel, glycolic peels etc. improve the skin tone and produce a “glow” effect on the face. With regular use of chemical peels, skin pigmentation decreases, skin color and texture improve.
Laser Treatment For Skin Whitening:-
Laser treatments also help to reduce the tan on the face and give an instant whitening. Q switched lasers target the melanin in the skin and hair and result in a bleaching effect. Best results are seen with high quality original laser machines. At our center we have state of art Tribeam Q-switch laser to deal with all kinds of hyperpigmentation issues.
