Skin whitening treatment
Skin whitening, skin bleaching, or skin brightening all refer to cosmetic procedures that treat pigmentation. Dark patches, freckles, and generally dark skin tones are the main indications for skin lightening treatment. These procedures usually include either applying chemical substances on the skin or skin resurfacing with specialized devices. Chemical peels include agents that can interfere with melanin production. Melanin is the biomolecule(s) producing the pigments. The decrease in melanogenesis (formation of melanin) caused by chemicals reduces the concentration of pigments in the treated area. This leads to a brighter and more even tone.
The skin whitening treatment options we offer
Laser treatment
Skin whitening laser treatment or laser peel targets pigmented areas with rays of light. The laser removes the patches of concentrated melanin through skin resurfacing.
Chemical peels
Chemical peeling is the procedure of using chemical solutions to trigger skin regeneration. Peeling agents such as kojic acid used in these procedures cause micro-injuries to activate the skin’s natural healing. The new layers that resurface have a more even and smooth tone.
Glutathione injections
Known as a powerful antioxidant, glutathione is a naturally occurring agent found in our cells. This whitening agent causes a reduction in melanin production and eventually pigmentation.
Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion is a resurfacing method that uses a device to sand or scratch the top to mid-layer of the skin. By peeling away the darker or damaged skin, dermabrasion uncovers the healthier and brighter layers hidden underneath.
Microdermabrasion
A gentle exfoliating procedure that removes dead cells, peels, and sands away the outmost layer. This removal technique increases cell growth as it reveals the newer skin layers.
Topical treatments
Topical treatments are noninvasive procedures consisting of applying solutions rich with whitening agents, such as arbutin and kojic acid. These ingredients depigment the skin by reducing melanin production.

FAQ
Are skin brightening results permanent?
The lifespan of the effects produced by skin brightening depends on the underlying cause, physiological matters, and the treatment type. The procedures usually change the way melanin is produced in the body for a certain period of time butnot permanently. Aging and sun exposure can also play key roles in the longevity of the results. Generally, the effects last from a few months to a few years.
How long does it take for skin to brighten?
For most treatments, you can expect to see some results right after the treatment. However, some procedures improve with time or might need follow-up sessions to show their full results. Therefore, you can expect the final improvements within a few days or weeks.
Does skin whitening have side effects?
Yes, some minor side effects such as swelling, redness, and burning sensation are common. These side effects take a day or two to go away. However, more persisting issues might arise if you undergo a procedure against your health provider’s advice. This includes abnormal discoloration and scarring. To avoid such complications, it is important to tell your aesthetic practitioner about your past and present health conditions.
Will acne go away with age?
Acne often improves with age, especially after puberty, as hormone levels stabilize. However, some patients may continue to experience acne into adulthood, particularly due to hormonal imbalances or other contributing factors.
