Body Whitening
Both chemical peels and body-whitening laser treatments are effective methods for body whitening by addressing hyperpigmentation and promoting a more even skin tone.
Chemical peels work by exfoliating the skin with chemical solutions, removing damaged outer layers, and revealing brighter, new skin underneath. Body-whitening laser treatments target melanin in the skin with specific wavelengths of light, breaking down pigmentation and lightening dark spots.
While chemical peels offer benefits like improved skin texture and reduced acne, diode lasers provide a precise, non-invasive approach with minimal downtime. Both treatments typically require multiple sessions and proper aftercare to achieve and maintain optimal results.
How Body-Whitening Laser Works
1. Mechanism
- Body-whitening lasers emit a specific wavelength of light that penetrates the skin.
- The laser targets melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, breaking it down.
- This process helps reduce hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and can lead to an overall lighter skin tone, especially over under arms and legs.
2. Procedure
- The skin is cleansed, and a cooling gel or device is often applied to protect the skin and enhance comfort.
- The diode laser is applied to the treatment area, delivering short pulses of light.
- The procedure typically takes 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area.
How Chemical Peels Work
1. Mechanism
- Chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution to the skin, which causes controlled exfoliation.
- The old, damaged skin cells are removed, revealing newer, lighter, and more evenly toned skin underneath.
- They can help reduce hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone, leading to a brighter appearance. This is usually done for the under arm area.
2. Procedure
- The skin is thoroughly cleansed, and the chemical solution is applied to the targeted areas.
- The solution is left on for a specific time, depending on the peel’s strength and the desired outcome, and then neutralised or washed off with minimal downtime.
