The Science Behind Skin Fairness

People have different shades of complexion because of the strong scientific reasons below. 

Melanin: the Pigment Responsible for Skin Color

Melanin is a pigment in your body on various levels, giving different colors to your skin, hair, and eyes. More melanin production gives you darker skin, hair, and eyes. Your body’s level of melanin production depends on factors such as genes and the level of exposure your ancestors had. Melanin can be of three types – Eumelanin, Pheomelanin, and Neuromelanin. Eumelanin and Pheomelanin give color to your skin, eyes, and hair. 

All humans usually have the same amount of melanocytes, which produce various amounts of melanin. People with more melanin usually have darker skin, hair, and eyes than those with lesser melanin and may even get freckles. However, melanin protects your cells’ genetic materials by avoiding hazardous UV rays. The excess melanin production causes hyperpigmentation, which is harmless. You may also have dark patches of skin. 

Factors Influencing Skin Pigmentation

Your skin gets color from an element called melanin, which is composed of skin cells. Unhealthy or damaged skin cells can produce excess melanin, clumping and darkening the area. 

Here are the several causes of hyperpigmentation:

• • Genetics

• • Adrenal issues, like Addison’s disease, when your body doesn’t produce sufficient hormones called cortisol 

• • Hormonal imbalances

• • Skin injuries, sometimes known as proinflammatory hyperpigmentation

• • Melasma

• • Sunspots

• • Medications, such as drugs and oral contraceptives, which cause sensitivity to light

• • Insufficient vitamins, such as folic acid and B12

• • Thyroid

Types of Skin Fairness Treatments

Here are the types of skin fairness treatments you can do at our clinic: 

Chemical Peel

A chemical peel is about applying a chemical solution on your skin to remove the topmost layer. It is an effective treatment to remove scars, wrinkles, and discolored skin from your face. You get smoother skin with an improved texture. The peeling delivers subtle results, which improve with repeated treatments. The deep chemical peel significantly enhances the look and feel of the treated areas. 

Peeling and flaking may start 4 to 7 days after light and medium peels. You can recuperate for approximately 2 weeks, with severe peeling, redness, and swelling after a deep peeling. Don’t pick your skin; keep it moisturized and avoid sun exposure for a few days after the treatment. The recovery period depends on the intensity of the chemical peel you do. 

CO2 Laser Peel

CO2 laser peel uses light beams targeted to remove the skin’s superficial layer. This laser treatment removes acne scars, wrinkles, deep lines, age spots, and sun spots and prevents skin cancer. The dermis or medium layer heats up, stimulating collagen fibers’ growth. The firmer and smoother skin replaces the old skin as the treated area heals. 

You will have to wait 1 to 2 weeks to recover from the CO2 laser peel fully. After 5 to 7 days of treatment, the skin dries and peels. Don’t pick or scratch your skin immediately after the treatment. Apply moisturizer or ointment on your treated skin as instructed by the doctor. Cover the treated areas with clothes. Apply sunscreen lotion suited for sensitive skin when going outside. 

PlasmoDerm is a skin enhancement treatment that uses your blood cells to boost collagen production. The PlasmoDerm injections remove all types of scars and give you youthful skin. PRF growth factors boost collagen production, which improves the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. As PlasmoDerm improves your skin tone and overall texture, you get radiant and youthful skin. 

You can see improvements approximately 2 to 3 weeks after your treatment. At least 2 sessions of PlasmoDerm treatment a year at a gap of 6 months are required to get the desired results. Combining it with treatments like micro-needling delivers better results. 

Glutathione

Glutathione is a naturally occurring antioxidant in the body that protects cells from damage caused by free radicals and toxins. In recent years, there has been interest in using glutathione supplements or injections as a way to lighten the skin and reduce the appearance of tanning.

Dermapen Microneedling

The Dermapen microneedling therapy causes injuries on your skin, which increases the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen, the natural and essential skin rejuvenation elements. The increased production of these natural elements boosts the capabilities of skin absorption.

Then, certain skin-lightening agents treat your skin, which can easily absorb products and give your face an immediate glow and whitening effect. Besides lightening your skin, dermapen microneedling evens out your complexion and reduces the appearance of melasma, scars, dark patches, hyperpigmentation, and discoloration.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Therapy 

IPL, or photo facial, is a therapy that improves skin tone and texture without surgery. It can fix certain visible skin damages caused by sun exposure, known as photoaging.  IPL applies light energy to target a specific color in your skin. When your skin gets heated, your body eliminates the unnecessary cells. You look younger after IPL as your skin tone looks more even. 

As the light doesn’t injure other tissues, your skin heals quickly. Every session tends to take 20 or 30 minutes. The large body part can take more than an hour. IPL therapy can sting a little bit. You may feel like having a sunburn for 4 to 6 hours once a session gets finished. Healing post an IPL therapy takes 2 to 3 days. 

Hydra-Rich Injections

Hydra-Rich injections are a non-invasive aesthetic treatment that gives you glowing and hydrated skin, the effects of which last for months. It hydrates and moisturizes your skin due to its extreme water-binding capacities. Hyaluronic acid, present in Hydra-rich, can increase collagen production and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 

As Hydra-rich injections have no downtime, you can immediately resume normal activities. The treated areas may have a little swelling, bruising, or redness. You can hide such side effects with mineral makeup. The skin texture improves after 10 to 14 days. The results last for 9 to 12 months.
