Tanning happens in response to increased pigment production within our skin, caused by exposure to sun.
 

There are 4 tan removal treatments which are as follows:

• Laser toning (Rs. 4,000-10,000): laser device breaks down pigment and reduces the appearance of tan, sun spots, etc.
  • Common side effects include: Pain, discomfort, and stinging sensation.
  • Whereas the risks are: Pigmentation, scarring, and blistering.
     
• Chemical Peel (Rs. 1,800-10,000): A mixture of acids that is beneficial for skin, is applied on the concerned region of your body, in the required quantity, which dries up and is removed thereafter - this process aids in the regeneration of newer & healthier skin cells by removing upper tanned layers of skin.
  • Common side effects include:
    • Redness & stinging.
    • Increased sensitivity to sun.
    • Scabbing and swelling.
  • Whereas the risks are:
    • Permanent scarring.
    • Pigmentation.
    • Damage to Heart, kidney, or liver.
       
• Microdermabrasion (Rs. 1500 to Rs. 6000 per session): Acts on the epidermis only (superficial scarring). During the treatment, your dermatologist will use a drill-like handheld appliance with a wire brush or some other abrasive as its attachment, to swipe over your skin. Same will eliminate epidermal scarring.
  • Common side effects: Swelling, bruising, and redness.
  • Whereas the risks are:
    • Skin getting pierced.
    • Any damage to eye if the doctor isn't careful enough.
       
• Creams/face pack/face wash (Rs. 200 to Rs. 2000): Results last for comparatively lesser amount of time, and tanning can affect even deeper layers of your skin while these would work on only the surface level of your skin.
