What is skin whitening treatment?

Skin whitening, also called skin lightening or brightening, means treatments that reduce melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. They are used to fade patches of darker skin, such as melasma, sun spots and marks left after acne. The safest results come from a dermatologist's plan that combines daily sunscreen, prescription creams and, if needed, in-clinic treatments such as peels or laser.

Types of skin whitening treatment

Following are the types of skin whitening treatment:

Whitening creams

Dermatologists prescribe creams with proven ingredients such as hydroquinone, tretinoin, azelaic acid, kojic acid or vitamin C, often in a combination cream. Hydroquinone and tretinoin should only be used under a doctor's guidance.

Whitening injections and drips

Glutathione injections and IV drips are widely sold in Pakistan for skin whitening. However, no injectable skin-lightening product is approved for this use, and there are no proper clinical trials showing they work.

Whitening capsules

Whitening capsules usually contain glutathione or vitamins. There is little evidence that they lighten skin. Ask a dermatologist before taking any supplement.

Chemical peels

A mild acid is applied to remove the top layer of skin, which fades dark spots and evens skin tone. Several sessions a few weeks apart are usually needed.

Laser skin lightening

Laser and light treatments break up excess pigment. They need an experienced dermatologist, because the wrong settings can darken brown skin.

Are whitening creams safe?

Many whitening and fairness creams sold in Pakistan are not safe. Some contain:

• Strong steroids, which can thin the skin and cause redness, acne and visible blood vessels. In a Lahore study, 83% of patients with steroid skin damage had used steroid creams, alone or mixed with fairness creams.
• Mercury, which can damage the kidneys, skin and nervous system.

Use only creams prescribed by a dermatologist, and avoid unlabelled or mixed creams.

Are whitening injections safe?

Whitening injections and drips carry risks and have no proven benefit for lightening skin. Reported problems include fever, chills, dizziness and serious reactions linked to poor-quality or fake glutathione. Many products sold in Pakistan are unregistered.

If you still choose injections, have them only from a qualified doctor who uses a registered product, and tell them about any allergies, kidney or liver problems, pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Who can benefit from skin lightening treatment?

A dermatologist can help with:

• Melasma (brown patches on the cheeks, forehead or upper lip)
• Dark spots and sun damage
• Dark marks left after acne
• Uneven skin tone and tanning
• Dark underarms, elbows or knees

What happens at a skin whitening consultation?

1. Skin check: the dermatologist examines your skin and finds the cause of the darkening.
2. History: they ask about creams you have used, medicines and pregnancy plans.
3. Plan: you get a treatment plan, usually starting with sunscreen and a prescription cream.
4. In-clinic treatment: peels or laser may be added for stubborn patches.
5. Follow-up: progress is checked every few weeks and the plan is adjusted.

How long do results take and last?

Most treatments take 3 to 12 months to show full results. Pigment can come back with sun exposure, so daily sunscreen of SPF 30 or more is the most important step to keep your results.
