What is Skin Whitening Treatment?
Skin whitening treatment, also known as skin lightening or a skin bleaching process, aids in the enhancement of a fair complexion by utilising a chemical substance known as Glutathione. It’s an attempt to lighten the darker skin tone and provide a more even skin tone.
Skin whitening treatment helps in the following ways:
- It reduces the melanin content of the skin
- It can help with dark spots, melasma, sun damage, and freckles
- It also reduces fine lines, age spots, scars, and other marks
- It lightens the skin and makes it evenly toned.
Is Skin Lightening Treatment Permanent?
The effects of skin lightening treatments can last for several months to several years.
Dermatologists advise the following precautions to maintain the results of any skin-lightening treatment:
- Maintaining a healthy lifestyle
- Using a good sunscreen to shield your skin from the sun’s harmful rays
- Maintaining a basic skin-care regimen
- Choosing maintenance sessions on a regular basis
- Consuming a well-balanced diet and increasing your water intake
- Bleaching agents and chemical peels have temporary effects. Laser treatments, on the other hand, provide a relatively long-term solution for skin lightening. Tattoos can be permanently removed with laser treatment.
