Skin Whitening Treatment in Dubai

Home Laser & Skincare Treatments Skin Whitening Treatment in Dubai

Skin whitening refers to any treatment aimed at whitening the dark tone or spots on the skin. Your skin may appear dark or develop dark-pigmented spots due to excess production of melanin – a substance that gives your skin its natural tone.

Skin whitening treatments typically involve peeling solutions, lasers, or other exfoliating techniques to reduce the concentration of melanin, giving your skin a more lightened and rejuvenated appearance.

Who is a good candidate for skin whitening treatment?

Skin whitening in Dubai is an effective treatment for all individuals who want to brighten their complexion. In general, you are a good candidate for this treatment if you have the following skin problems:

  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Dark spots on the skin
  • Discolored patches caused by acne scars
  • Age spots
  • Discoloration due to sun damage
  • Overall dull and dark skin tone

Skin Whitening Treatment Options

Some of the most effective treatments for skin whitening are as follows:

Topical Treatments

Topical skin whitening treatment typically involves applying creams with active ingredients such as Hydroquinone, Kojic acid, or Arbutin. This treatment helps decrease the number of cells that produce melanin. It is generally a long-term treatment; you may need to use a particular skin whitening cream for several months before you see the desired results.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are a non-invasive skin resurfacing procedure that removes the damaged topmost skin layer to reveal new and lighter-toned skin. The practitioner applies the chemical solutions directly to the skin to peel off the surface during the procedure.

Laser Skin Whitening

Laser treatment is viable for treating dark spots and blemishes, making the skin tone lighter. The high-energy laser beams remove the damaged skin cells and regenerate younger-looking skin. It rejuvenates the skin by removing dark spots, reducing melanin, and improving skin color. PICO Genesis or Fractional CO2 lasers are commonly used for treating hyperpigmentation. However, laser treatment results differ in each case, depending on the severity of the skin condition. Moreover, the number of treatment sessions also varies for each candidate.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is an exfoliating treatment that uses a handheld device that streams tiny crystals across the skin to perform a sanding blasting-like function. This treatment helps reduce dark pigmentations caused by aging, scarring, or sun damage. It also improves overall skin texture and boosts collagen production, giving your skin a youthful glow.

Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion removes the outer skin layer to reduce the appearance of acne scars, scars caused by a health condition or accident, and pox marks. This top layer removal allows an underlying, fresh skin layer to come on top.
The fundamental concept of Dermabrasion and Microdermabrasion is the same, i.e., both these treatments’ sand’ the skin. However, Dermabrasion removes a thicker skin layer than Microdermabrasion. Moreover, Dermabrasion works only with fair skin, whereas Microdermabrasion is suitable for all skin types and colors.

Skin Whitening Benefits

Skin whitening treatments offer various benefits, some of which are as follows:

  • Skin whitening treatments bring a quick and dramatic improvement to your appearance.
  • Most of these treatments cause little to no discomfort, but some procedures like dermabrasion or deep peels may cause more discomfort.
  • Skin whitening treatments are highly customizable; all treatments are planned and administered according to the candidates’ needs or preferences to obtain the desired outcome.

Side Effects

The side effects of skin whitening treatments are usually mild and temporary. However, side effects might last longer if the treatment provided involves a deeper exfoliation, such as in the case of deep chemical peels and dermabrasion.

The side effects generally associated with skin whitening treatments include:

  • Irritation
  • Redness
  • A stinging or burning sensation
  • Swelling

Skin whitening treatment cost

The average cost of skin whitening in Dubai is 1000 AED. That said, several factors come into play when determining the exact treatment cost for each individual. Those factors include:

  • The type of treatment
  • Size of the treatment area
  • Amount of pigmentation
  • Number of skin whitening sessions required
  • The expertise of the practitioner
  • The geographic location of the clinic

Recovery and Results

The recovery time varies for each individual, depending on the treatment technique and severity of the condition. Typically, laser treatments take longer to recover compared to topical creams or chemical peels. However, laser treatments also provide long-lasting results, unlike other alternatives. The results are instantly visible in most cases, but it may take a few treatment sessions if the skin condition is severe.
