1. Glutathione Tablets & Injections

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant commonly used in skin brightening protocols to improve overall skin radiance and uneven pigmentation.

Benefits:

  • Improved skin glow and brightness
  • Reduction in dullness and tanning
  • Antioxidant support for healthier skin
  • Better skin clarity and tone

Procedure: Treatment may include oral glutathione tablets, intravenous glutathione injections, or combination protocols depending on the patient's requirement.

Recovery: Usually no major downtime. Regular hydration, skincare, and sun protection are advised for better maintenance.

Do not self-medicate — many counterfeit skin lightening products are available in the market. Dr. Amit Agarwal will assess whether the treatment is suitable for your skin and goals.

2. Chemical Peels

Chemical peels help exfoliate damaged outer skin layers and stimulate fresh skin regeneration.

Benefits:

  • Reduction in pigmentation and acne marks
  • Brighter skin appearance
  • Improved texture and smoothness
  • Reduction in tanning and dullness

Procedure: A medically selected peel solution is applied to the skin for controlled exfoliation and rejuvenation.

Recovery: Mild redness or peeling may occur for a few days depending on peel strength.

Avoid self-medication and unverified skin lightening products. Dr. Amit Agarwal will evaluate if you are the right candidate for the procedure.

3. Skin Brightening Facials

Medical-grade facials help cleanse, hydrate, and rejuvenate the skin while enhancing glow and freshness.

Benefits:

  • Instant freshness and radiance
  • Improved hydration
  • Better skin texture
  • Relaxed and rejuvenated appearance

Procedure: The treatment may include cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, brightening masks and skin rejuvenation steps.

Recovery: Minimal to no downtime. Mild temporary redness may occur in sensitive skin.

Many over-the-counter skin lightening products may not be safe or effective. Dr. Amit Agarwal will guide you to the most suitable treatment for your skin.

4. Laser Skin Lightening

Laser treatments target pigmentation, tanning, acne marks and uneven skin tone using advanced laser technology.

Benefits:

  • Reduction in pigmentation
  • Improved skin tone and clarity
  • Skin rejuvenation
  • Better texture and brightness

Procedure: Laser energy is delivered to targeted skin areas to reduce pigmentation and stimulate skin renewal.

Recovery: Temporary redness or mild sensitivity may occur for a few days after the procedure.

Do not use skin lightening medications without medical advice. Dr. Amit Agarwal will assess your skin condition and recommend the right treatment plan.

5. Nano Fat Grafting

Nano fat grafting uses processed fat rich in regenerative cells to improve skin quality, texture and rejuvenation.

Benefits:

  • Natural skin rejuvenation
  • Improved skin texture and quality
  • Enhanced glow and hydration
  • Regenerative skin improvement

Procedure: Fat is harvested from selected body areas, processed into nano fat, and carefully injected into targeted facial areas.

Recovery: Mild swelling or bruising may occur temporarily and usually settles gradually over time.

Counterfeit and unsuitable skin lightening products are common in the market. Dr. Amit Agarwal will determine whether the procedure is safe and beneficial for you.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Which treatment is best for skin lightening?
The ideal treatment depends on skin type, pigmentation pattern and patient goals. Combination treatments often provide better results — Dr. Amit Agarwal will design a plan after assessment.
Are the results permanent?
Maintenance sessions, daily skincare and consistent sun protection help maintain long-term improvement. Results are not strictly permanent because skin is constantly exposed to sun and lifestyle factors.
Is there any downtime?
Most treatments involve minimal downtime, though temporary redness or peeling may occur for a few days depending on the technique used.
How many sessions are needed?
The number of sessions varies according to the treatment and skin concern — typically 3–6 for chemical peels or laser, and ongoing maintenance for facials and glutathione.
Can different treatments be combined?
Yes. Combination treatments are commonly used for more effective and comprehensive skin rejuvenation results.
