Skin Whitening Treatment In Bangalore

Tanning or the sun-induced darkening of the skin is a tendency that differs from individual to individual. Mostly, it depends on the primary skin complexion. Thus, the darker individuals are more prone to tanning. Deficiency of vitamins or antioxidants in the body could also make a person tan faster. The inherited tendency of tanning could make a fair person tan easier if one of his/her parents has a darker skin tone.

The first step of getting an even complexion is to be sun safe. Start by using a broad spectrum sunscreen with physical blockers. This needs to be reapplied every 3 to 4 hours. Apply vitamin C creams along with a skin lightening cream containing arbutin or kojic acid over the darker areas of the body during night time. Oral supplements of vitamin C and medications such as polypodium leukotomies or astaxanthin act as oral sunscreens and are commonly prescribed by dermatologists.

Invest in glycolic acid peels as these treatments remove the tan from the upper layers of the skin. If suggested, deeper peels like TCA and modified Jessner's peel can be added. Retinol peels help to reverse skin damage as well as the tan. Chemical peels take between 3 to 6 treatment to show the significant results, though some results can be seen from the first session. Each skin treatment is performed after a period of at least 15 days.

If there is no or minimal improvement with peels, or a quick result is desired, a laser toning treatment can be performed. This procedure gives an immediate result without any downtime and can be repeated monthly or quarterly for maintenance.

Several skin whitening treatments include chemical peels, injections, oral glutathione, and laser toning. Amongst these, the best treatment will be determined based on the individual’s skin condition and specific needs. 

Laser skin whitening treatments aim for long-term advantages, even if they are not 'permanent'. An individual’s skin type, level of pigmentation, and treatment type determine longevity.

Skin lightening treatment is not permanent. It can last six months to several years. While chemical peels and bleaching chemicals lighten skin, they do not last longer. Laser treatments are more permanent for skin lightening.

Advanced facilities, such as Dr. Dixit Cosmetic Dermatology Clinic, charge between Rs 1,800 to Rs. 5,500 for each skin-lightening session. It depends on treatment type, level of pigmentation, skin condition, etc.
