Before we discuss the nitty-gritty of skin lightening, let us have a look at what makes skin lightening a rage across all walks of the society. No Moral discussions but a look at the facts.

We know that with all the movements going about, skin lightening is an almost untouchable topic but then isn’t it all about “My Choice”?
And so, like we said before- Your Skin Color, Your Choice and whatever be your choice, as long as it does good to you, we are with you!
However, considering that body tanning is not our expertise and Skin Lightening is, here we tell you the best amongst all the options that you have for your perusal for skin Whitening.
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!

radiance of healthy skin. A specialist lightening ampoule & mask is applied to further

Skin Hydration is a relatively new technique offered using a specially prepared version of hyaluronic acid for Mesotherapy linked to a specific injection technique. This allows an experienced practitioner to directly inject hyaluronic acid into larger areas of skin to help improve skin quality and hydration.
Benefits of Skin Hydration:
This Skin Lightening technique improves the condition of the dermis and stimulates the production of collagen, elastin and the body’s own hyaluronic acid. It also enhances the body’s immunity against free radicals, thereby improving cell function and contributing to a fresher and more youthful skin appearance.
Glutathione (GSH) is a natural antioxidant which is present in our body. However, it decreases with the increasing age and without the protection of GSH, the cells start aging faster. As discussed above, glutathione can be taken both as oral medication as well as in form of injections to achieve the desired results.
Benefits of Glutathione Based Procedures
The skin treatment by Glutathione that is offered helps in:- Brightening the skin
- Rejuvenating the skin
- Keeping away the signs of anti-ageing
It is of utmost importance that you check for US-FDA approved label before going for any skin lightening treatment. This is because, treatments without this label have been known to be carcinogenic or contain mercury in some cases.
