Skin Whitening Treatment In Dubai: Types
Laser treatments:
Use of advanced laser technology for skin whitening is gaining popularity in recent times. A concentrated light beam is directed on your skin to reduce melanin production. The focused light energy gets converted to heat. Melanin in your skin absorbs this heat and is broken down. Your body’s immune system then flushes out the fragmented melanin as skin debris, thus eliminating it. Laser whitening treatments are best to address hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun tan, age spots, sun damage freckles, and dark spots. They can help improve collagen production and can be customized for different patient needs. Different lasers used in the procedure can help with either a surface-level or deeper penetration of your skin through its several layers. Laser treatments are very targeted in nature, enabling a uniform skin texture.
Chemical peels:
Clear skin and chemical peels are like a match made in heaven. The specialist applies a chemical solution to your skin during the treatment that works wonders to reveal the radiant skin underneath the outer surface. Consult your skin whitening specialist to understand in detail the benefits of different peels, i.e. superficial peels, medium peels and deep peels and which of these chemical peels is best suited for your skin! Chemical peels can work well, even on patients with severe pigmentation and skin discoloration.
Injections or shots for skin whitening:
Can you imagine taking intravenous injections / shots to get an even-toned skin? Surprisingly, it is a reality now, thanks to the developments happening in the discipline of dermatology. Moreover, glutathione is one such popular marvel in the world of skin lightening agents with antioxidant properties and your dermatologist is the best to recommend to you if your skin is ideal for a skin whitening shot or not.
Carbon peels:
Another non-invasive skin whitening procedure, carbon peels, also known as lunchtime peels or China doll facials, is based on laser skin resurfacing. The specialist applies a thin layer of liquid carbon to your skin. Known for its versatile outcomes, carbon peel is getting widespread attention as it doesn’t require any additional recovery time. The procedure is quick (done within just 30 minutes), gives instant results, delivers skin brightness, removes skin impurities, softens the skin, eliminates dead skin cells, addresses acne scars, pigmentation and sun damage, and boosts collagen and elastin production.
Conclusion
Cosmetic and aesthetic treatments can definitely make your skin look flawless and blemish-free. But, your skin can become vulnerable and sensitive during the skin whitening treatment procedure and immediately after it for a shorter duration. These are specialized treatment processes that require an in-depth understanding of different skin types, tones, and textures, as well as hands-on experience in doing several treatments, using the latest technologies, and offering best, in-clinic facilities.
