Skin Lightening

Approximately 56% of Indians opt for skin lightening procedures, while an unexpected 24% choose tanning. Kosmoderma, on the other hand, performs around 200 skin lightening procedures each quarter and addresses about 20 related inquiries daily. Despite this, at Kosmoderma, we hold a steadfast belief that an individual's skin color should be a matter of personal choice, and no one should dictate what color it should be.

However, it's important to note that we specialize in skin lightening and not body tanning. In light of this, we aim to guide you towards the best options available for achieving skin lightening.

• Skin Lightening Treatment- The Best Way

  Before delving into the intricacies of skin lightening, let's first explore why it has gained immense popularity across various segments of society. Let's refrain from moral debates and instead focus on the facts.

  Approximately 56% of Indians prefer a lighter skin tone, leading them to opt for skin whitening procedures. Surprisingly, 24% of the same population chooses tanning services, with Kosmoderma alone performing around 200 skin whitening procedures per quarter and addressing 20 related inquiries daily. However, at Kosmoderma, we strongly adhere to one belief: a person's skin color should be a matter of their own choice. We firmly assert that no one has the right to dictate what color someone's skin should be.

  We recognize that skin lightening is a sensitive and contentious subject, particularly in the current climate of social movements. But isn't it ultimately about personal autonomy and the principle of "My Choice"?

  So, as we mentioned earlier: Your Skin Color, Your Choice. Regardless of your decision, as long as it positively impacts you, we stand by your side.

  That said, given our expertise in skin lightening rather than body tanning, we will now provide you with information on the best options available for skin whitening.

• Skin Lightening- The Working Principle

  Skin lightening operates based on various techniques such as creams, lasers, serums, chemicals, oral medications, and more, aiming to diminish melanin accumulation in the skin, resulting in a lighter complexion. The mechanism by which melanin deposition is reduced or its regeneration is regulated will be elaborated upon in the following text and accompanying illustrations.

• Our Skin- The Composition

  Prior to evaluating the effectiveness of a specific treatment, let's provide a brief overview of the skin's structure to gain a better understanding of the rationale behind skin lightening. The skin comprises three layers: the epidermis, which is visible; the dermis, situated beneath the epidermis; and the subcutaneous layer, which resides deeper and retains fat.

  
• The Skin Lightening Treatments
  Topical Treatments
  

  Creams and serums primarily target the epidermis, focusing their effects on the visible surface of the skin. Consequently, these products are limited in their capacity to either bleach or provide hydration for a radiant appearance. Although some of the cream's ingredients are absorbed by the skin, their influence remains confined to the epidermal layer and does not penetrate the dermis. As a result, their overall impact is temporary. Therefore, it would be inaccurate to deem them entirely ineffective, but they are better suited for maintenance purposes rather than as a curative solution.

  Oral Medications

  Following topical treatments are oral medications, primarily centered around glutathione. It's important to note that glutathione is an antioxidant naturally synthesized in the liver, with its primary role being the prevention of pigmentation by minimizing melanin accumulation. When taken orally, glutathione dissolves in the bloodstream and exerts its effects. However, it's crucial to recognize that anything we ingest orally initially enters the stomach, undergoes processing, and then enters the bloodstream to reach its intended target. This entire process involves some degree of wastage, leading to a reduction in overall effectiveness.

  

  Injectables and Laser Treatments
  Lastly, we arrive at the two most potent solutions: one involving injections containing glutathione or Kojic acid, and the other utilizing laser treatment. Injections are administered directly into the bloodstream, resulting in immediate action and initiating changes from within the body. Conversely, lasers either break down pigments or target tissues to kickstart the skin healing process. Both of these treatments offer relatively enduring results, although occasional booster sessions may be necessary. The choice between these methods depends primarily on your skin type, above all other factors.
