Our skin experts will formulate a personalized treatment plan for you after a comprehensive skin assessment.

Herein, you can learn more about the different options in skin lightening treatments.

Skin Lightening Treatments: The Basics

Skin lightening treatments impart a lighter skin tone via chemical solutions. They work their magic by restricting melanin production within the body. Melanin is the skin pigment that lends skin its color. High melanin levels in the skin can darken your skin tone. Hence, these procedures minimize melanin synthesis for an improved skin tone.

The Best Skin Lightening Treatments

Kosmoderma offers the following skin lightening treatments:

• Glutathione Injections: Glutathione is rich in antioxidant, anti-aging, and skin-lightening properties. That’s why glutathione injectable treatments are becoming popular to lighten the skin tone. These injectables work by inhibiting melanin production, imparting a bright skin tone. Glutathione injections are administered to the patient as part of these treatments. You may have to sit through multiple sessions for optimal results.
• Chemical Peels: Chemical peel treatment exfoliates the skin by aiding the removal of dead skin cells. Also, there are various levels of chemical peels, including:

Superficial or Light Peels are recommended for minor pigmentation problems. They help to shed the skin’s topmost layer to reveal new, soft skin. You can attend chemical peel treatment sessions spaced at short intervals of a few months.

Medium Peels work on the deeper layers of the skin to treat mild to moderate pigmentation. Although they have a long recovery period, they impart long-lasting results.

Deep Peels are advised for those with stubborn pockets of pigmentation or grave skin injuries. The recovery time after deep peels is long but they make a positive difference to your overall complexion.

• Laser Skin Toning (Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser): Laser therapy is a high-tech method of reducing skin pigmentation. It uses laser beams with controlled light intensity and specific wavelength to destroy the melanin deposits in the skin. At Kosmoderma, we deploy Q-Switched Nd:YAG lasers to break down the pigmented skin cells. This non-invasive procedure targets melasma, birth spots, hyperpigmentation, freckles, and various other skin conditions to reveal radiant-looking skin.
• Medifacials: Medifacials are among other effective skin lightening procedures. They involve the regular deep cleansing, exfoliation, nourishing, and moisturizing processes to improve your skin tone and texture. Also, these treatments use scientifically-backed ingredients and cutting-edge techniques and technologies to reverse various skin concerns, imparting a radiant complexion. They address skin conditions such as dullness, acne, sun damage, pigmentation, and facial creases. Furthermore, there are various types of medifacials and your dermatologist will determine the best treatment for your skin condition.
• Carbon Laser Peel: This treatment involves the application of a thin layer of carbon peel and the use of focused light beams around the treatment area. The carbon matter aids the removal of dead skin cells and the laser energy helps to break down the carbon layer. This boosts collagen production, lending an improved complexion.
• Skin Polishing (Microdermabrasion): A non-invasive skin lightening treatment, microdermabrasion deploys a specialized tool to shed the skin’s outer layer to facilitate the removal of the dead skin cells and boost collagen production. Moreover, there are 2 types of microdermabrasion techniques. Crystal microdermabrasion makes use of fine crystals to exfoliate the skin’s topmost layer, which makes it suitable for treating mild pigmentation. Diamond microdermabrasion uses a band with a diamond tip to buff out the skin’s outer layer as part of its exfoliating action.
• IV Drips: IV drip therapy helps to deliver glutathione directly into the bloodstreams to minimize hyperpigmentation and fade away your dark spots. Glutathione helps by neutralizing the damaging action of the free radicals, inhibiting melanin production to even out your skin tone. An IV drip session does not last for more than an hour, not requiring any aftercare too. However, you have to attend numerous IV treatment sessions for a lighter skin tone.
