Skintone & Pigments

Bright and glowing skin reflects the health of a person. Like strong sunlight, hormonal changes, and stress, many factors can lead to the darkening of the skin. It is not at all about being fair or dusky.

Lack of awareness about the damaging effect of ultraviolet rays, especially because of ozone layer depletion is a major cause of dull, dark skin that is commonly observed in young people.

Added to this stress due to poor lifestyle habits, the abundance of junk food, pollution, and lack of clean drinking water makes a perfect recipe for pigmented and dull skin. Pregnancy is sometimes associated with a typical butterfly-like pigmentation called melasma. Unfortunately, it does not go away after delivery. With the judicious use of creams, chemical peels, and lasers, childbearing ravages can be significantly reduced and removed.

Allergic rashes, irritating balms, and ointments, abrasions, burns can cause darkening of the skin, which can also be treated with similar modalities. The doctors need to identify the cause, skin type, and design a protocol to suit the patient’s skin. Newer drugs in the form of serum and fat transfers are also useful advances that can improve resistant cases that could not be treated in the past.

Latest lasers like Q switched Nd-YAG laser and fractional CO2 laser are available at Laser Cosmesis. These technologies improve the chances of successful treatment and refined results. The latest carbon peel technique can lighten the skin significantly.

For improvement in the skin tone, it is important to use medical-grade sunscreen with adequate sun protection factors, drink enough liquids, eat all colour vegetables for antioxidants and vitamins, and de-stress.

Don't be surprised to know that the best glow to the skin is brought by exercise. The success of brightening and lightening treatments depends upon your adaptation towards the healthy habits inculcated under our experts' guidance.
