Skin Lightening works on the principle of using different methods (creams, lasers, serums, chemicals, oral medications etc) to reduce the melanin deposition in the skin making it look a tone or more lighter.How the deposition is reduced or the regeneration controlled is explained below- both in text as well as through illustrations.

Before we start on how effective a certain treatment is, we shall discuss in brief the skin structure to better appreciate the logic of skin lightening. The skin has three layers, the epidermis, the dermis and the subcutaneous layer. The epidermis is what you see, the dermis lies below that and the subcutaneous lies deep down and holds on to the fat.

Topical Treatments
The creams and serums work on the epidermis, that is their effect is mostly on the visible skin. The properties of the creams thus restrict to bleaching or hydrating for glow. The skin does absorb some of the ingredients but the effect is only till the epidermis, failing to reach the dermis and hence the overall result is short-lived. Thus, it would be wrong to say that these are totally ineffective but they would rather be used for maintenance than cure.

Oral Medications
Next in the line come the oral medications, mainly glutathione based. Glutathione for your information is an antioxidant produced in the liver and responsible for preventing pigmentation by reducing melanin deposition. Taking glutathione orally helps as the ingredient dissolves in the blood stream and works. However, everything we take orally first goes to our stomach, gets processed and then goes into the bloodstream to work where it should. This entire cycle results in some amount of wastage thus reducing the overall efficacy.

Injectables and Laser Treatments
And finally we come to the two most effective solutions. One is glutathione or Kojic acid based injections and the other is the Laser treatment. The injections are given directly into the bloodstream and thus get to work immediately bringing changes from within the body. The Lasers* on the other hand break down the pigments or work on the tissues to start the process of skin healing. Both of these treatments are comparatively long lasting but they do require booster sessions sometime. Which of these has to be used on your skin depends majorly on your skin type- more than anything else!
