Co2 laser skin-lightening treatments are as popular as ever. The big question is: why are people so actively seeking skin whitening, and what are the benefits? Especially in I, we are more inclined towards becoming fair first and using skin whitening treatments rather than concentrating on skin texture and quality improvements. Temperatures in India soar a lot during the summer, and we tend to get tanned and pigmented a lot despite using sunscreens.
Our bodies produce melanin, which is a natural pigment that gives our skin its colour. In some areas, hyperpigmentation occurs where the skin is darker than the surrounding areas. The most common areas for these sorts of hyperpigmentation are the underarms, elbows, neck, and intimate areas. For those seeking an even tone of skin, lightening is their first point of call, but what treatments are being offered? The most common treatments for these irregulates are bleaching agents to lighten the skin. The caveat here is that bleaching agents are highly chemically involved, which, much like most chemicals, can cause prolonged irritation and, with constant use, skin damage. Furthermore, bleaching agents are only applied to the first layer of the skin, which means results fade relatively quickly, thus creating a vicious cycle of chemical application. Hyperpigmentation in the intimate area is very common during pregnancy, to hormonal changes, sun damage, age, and hereditary factors.
Skin clinics in India offer an alternative that steps away from the chemical application and enters a world of sophisticated and clinically proven laser technology. But what does that mean? CO2 laser treatments don’t just lighten the surface of the skin; they go deeper than that, quite literally. The CO2 laser stimulates the skin’s natural collagen protein, which allows for non-hyperpigmented skin to show through, thus creating an even look with the surrounding area. Not only is the procedure itself safe, but it is also painful. but it’s near-painless. One Hair & Skin Pro laser machines are one of the most advanced machines in India right now to gain skin colour effectively and are done in all the Adgloskin clinics across South India. The results of this treatment are fantastic and last significantly longer than any bleaching treatment on the market.
Depending on the area of the treatment and how deep the pigmentation is, Adgloskin clinics recommend up to 3 lightening treatments on the same area with a gap of 6–8 weeks in between. Sometimes more treatments are required, and we advise using melanin inhibitors on the area treated in between sessions. This will help you avoid PIH, which in turn will help with the expected results. Skincare lighting is available at Adgloskin Clinics.
When considering skin lightening, first consider in which area you want the lightening. There are, of course, more sensitive areas of the body where laser treatments can prove difficult. Hence, the best skin-lightening treatments are performed with the help of CO2 laser machines, sometimes alongside chemical alpha-hydroxyl acid peels followed by hydrating masks to retain the PH balance of the skin.
