info@vivavel.com+919818262686+919818262686Skin lightening, also called skin brightening or skin tone enhancement, is a dermatological treatment designed to reduce uneven pigmentation, dark spots, and discolouration caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or ageing. The goal is to achieve a radiant, even-toned complexion, not to alter one’s natural skin colour. These treatments focus on restoring skin health, reducing hyperpigmentation, and promoting overall brightness using safe, medically approved methods.
Uneven skin tone or patchy complexion
Dark spots, freckles, or melasma
Pigmentation after acne or inflammation
Dull, tired-looking skin due to sun damage or stress
General loss of radiance
Excess melanin production (hyperpigmentation)
Prolonged sun exposure without protection
Hormonal fluctuations (pregnancy, menopause, etc.)
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (after acne or injury)
Ageing and oxidative skin stress
Consult a dermatologist if:
You have persistent dark spots or uneven pigmentation
Over-the-counter products fail to improve your skin tone
You want a medically supervised, safe skin rejuvenation plan
You wish to treat pigmentation caused by hormonal or environmental factors
Skin Analysis: Visual and dermatoscopic assessment of pigmentation depth and type
Medical History Review: To identify triggers such as sun exposure or hormonal causes
Patch Test: To rule out allergic reactions before treatment
Optional Blood Tests: To evaluate hormonal or metabolic causes of pigmentation
Do’s:
Follow your dermatologist’s skincare routine strictly
Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily
Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet rich in antioxidants
Attend scheduled maintenance sessions for lasting results
Don’ts:
Avoid using unprescribed skin-bleaching creams or steroids
Do not skip sun protection after treatment
Avoid harsh exfoliants or scrubbing during recovery
Don’t expect instant results, gradual improvement ensures safety and natural radiance
