What is Skin Lightening Treatment?

Skin lightening treatments aim to reduce melanin in the skin to achieve a lighter complexion.

It is typically a depigmentation procedure where the concentration of dark pigment, called ‘melanin’, in the skin is reduced to lighten the skin color. There are a number of ways through which this can be done. Options include prescribed bleaching creams, approved whitening injections, and professional treatments like chemical peels, dermabrasion, and laser skincare treatments, each with specific indications and potential risks.

Many skin whitening treatments only target small patches. These treatments can sometimes lead to uneven skin tone, such as a lighter face compared to the neck or arms lighter than legs. It is thus best to opt for melanin reduction throughout the body. Comprehensive melanin reduction should be considered carefully with a specialist to ensure it’s appropriate and safe for your specific situation.

How is Skin Lightening done?

The procedure of skin lightening treatment depends on the type of treatment you have opted for.

Consultation with a qualified dermatologist or skin care specialist is necessary to assess the amount of melanin reduction needed for your desired outcome. Depending on the amount of melanin to be reduced, your surgeon will suggest an appropriate skin whitening treatment.

Many skin lightening procedures are outpatient and may require minimal downtime. Some treatments may cause temporary discomfort and redness but they can be easily covered with make-up.

The Outcome of Skin Lightening Treatment

Common outcomes of skin lightening treatments include a lighter skin tone, though results can vary based on individual factors. Potential benefits may include:

Improved skin texture
Reduced blemishes and wrinkles.
Glowing skin
Reduction in age-related and red spots

Risks of Skin Lightening Treatment

Like all cosmetic procedures, skin lightening treatments carry potential risks and side effects. Though most of these treatments are safe, they do sometimes lead to undesired side effects. Potential side effects include:

Swelling.
Redness.
Hyperpigmentation.
Skin crusting.
Increased sensitivity to sunlight.

Proper aftercare and following medical advice can help manage and minimize these risks.
