Skin Lightening – What Treatments Are Available For Me?
by Dr Chen Tai Ho | Feb 8, 2015
Hey guys, it’s the weekend once again and I hope everyone is having a great time of rest and relaxation with friends and family.
Today, I want to talk about skin lightening treatments and the options available. Many people of all ages and genders are not happy with the tone of their skin, and seek treatments that will make them fairer. Be it for personal or professional reasons, skin lightening treatments are fast gaining popularity, especially in Asia. Here are some treatments you can opt for.
q-Switch Nd:YAG Laser
As a quick treatment that is relatively painless, the q-Switch Nd:YAG Laser is one of the most popular methods out there for skin lightening. The laser beam penetrates the skin without damaging any of the top layers, before inducing the production of fresh collagen in the skin. As a substance that the skin needs in order to mend itself, it is crucial. This also results in new skin cells being produced at an increased rate of growth, replacing the old layer of skin.

The new layer will appear much smoother and healthier than the previous layer, giving it a glow which will naturally lead to skin appearing much fairer than before. No downtime is necessary, meaning you can get back into your daily routine as soon as the treatment is over. Some mild redness of the skin may be experienced but it will subside fairly quickly.
Carbon Laser Peel
This is another laser treatment that also increases the rate of growth of new skin cells. It consists of a thin layer of carbon being applied onto the desired area to be treated; after this is done, a laser beam will be concentrated on this area. A clicking sound can be heard during the procedure, whereby the laser beam will be absorbed by the carbon particles due to its dark nature. These particles are then eliminated using a vacuum which also gets rid of the old layer of skin.

The thermal energy generated helps to stimulate the skin to increase the production of collagen and new skin cells. This results in new skin tissue being grown at a quicker rate, with a new layer of skin replacing the old one that has been removed. Your skin will now retain moisture better, resulting in more hydrated skin that appears youthful and vibrant, as well as fairer in tone.
Glutathione Plus Vit E Capsule
Perhaps the easiest method listed here, these capsules will help to restore the health of your skin which will give it a radiant appearance. This increased skin health will naturally translate to fairer skin due to the glow it gives off. In addition, the capsules can also treat other skin conditions such as acne scarring, melasma, freckles and more, all of which can contribute to your skin looking dull and dark in tone.

This treatment can also change the dark pigment in your skin into light pigment, which also results in your skin appearing much fairer than before. The capsules are safe and approved by the Ministry of Health, making it a desirable treatment option for skin lightening.
