Known medically as melasma, this procedure is typically used to reduce the appearance of birthmarks or blemishes. There are several ways to go about undergoing this procedure.
How does it work properly?
Melanin is a pigment that gives skin its colour and protects it from the sun’s harmful rays. Skin lightening typically involves either reducing melanin production or concentration in the skin.
There are two ways to complete this process:
Skin lightening creams
How can you tell if it’s right for you?
Whenever possible, it is best to consult your doctor before choosing a course of treatment. The best dermatologist in Roorkee, Dr Hera Tabassum of the Dr Hera’s Skin & Hair Clinic, believes in providing the best guidance regarding such medical procedures. She will evaluate the texture of your skin before recommending the best course of action.

Methods and their effects
Creams for skin lightening
The best action may be to use skin-lightening creams if you are wary of having a medical procedure done. These creams are typically only accessible with a prescription and include:
Hydrocortisone and Hydroquinone (steroid medicine)
However, you may be able to find many of these creams without a prescription. However, using such creams without seeking a doctor’s advice is never advised.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions when using such creams. However, the following guidelines are generally accepted for using such creams:
Use a specific amount once or twice per day on the dark spots on your skin.
Applying the cream near delicate skin areas like the mouth, nose, or eyes is not advised.
Keep your hands off the area after applying the cream.
Avoid any direct sun exposure and shield your skin from the sun as much as you can.
Stop using it if any negative effects are noticed, such as allergies, redness, or itching.
Skin-lightening creams carry risks, so it is best to use them only under a doctor’s supervision. These dangers include:
- Thinner skin
- Skin becoming too light or dark
- liver scarring, kidney or nerve damage, etc.
Laser skin-lightening procedure
The outer layer of your skin that contains dark patches will be removed during this procedure, or the cells that produce melanin will be damaged.
These treatments, however, may only be temporary and effective in a small percentage of cases.
Your doctor might perform the procedure on a small patch of skin to see if your skin will respond well to it before proceeding with the full procedure. The doctor will schedule a full session if your skin responds well to the procedure.
The length of each session is up to 30 minutes. After the session, you must protect your skin for a few days, and the results may not appear immediately.
Skin redness and swelling are typical side effects that usually go away within a few days.
However, there can be some unwanted effects from these procedures, which include:
- Redness and swelling
- Scarring
- Bruising
- Blistering
In summary
Such processes can be both satisfying and unsatisfying at times. Always get in touch with the doctor who performed the procedure if you’re unhappy with the results.
