What is it?
Our skin often loses its brightness and radiance due to factors including age, genetics, sun and UV exposure, etc. Skin brightening can help reverse these effects and restore the youthful glow and natural radiance of the skin.
How is it done?
There are various treatment options that can help you brighten your skin and restore its glow. These include topical medication, chemical peels, facials, as well as light/laser therapies. A consultation with the doctor can help identify the problem areas and concerns of your skin, resulting in an accurate suggestion of the best suited treatment for your case.
What are the Pre- and Post-procedure steps for Skin brightening?
Depending upon the type of treatment suggested, you will be asked to follow certain steps before and after the sessions to ensure maximum results and minimum side effects.
For chemical peels and facials, you may be asked to avoid sun exposure, retinoids and other topical medications, antiviral medication, etc., in the days leading up to the treatment. After the sessions, you will be asked to avoid sun exposure, picking or itching at the skin, etc., to ensure a speedy recovery and maximum results.
As for light/laser treatments, you will be asked to avoid waxing, threading, or any other form of hair removal in the days leading up to the session. You will also be asked to avoid the usage of topical retinoids, steroids, etc., in the days leading up to the treatment. After the treatment, you will be advised to avoid sun exposure as much as possible. You will also be advised to cover up using hats, full sleeve clothing, etc., as well as use sun screens to protect the skin from UV exposure.
