Whitening treatments refer to various methods used to lighten skin tone or remove discoloration, often involving topical agents, chemical peels, or laser therapies. While popular for cosmetic reasons, these treatments can carry risks such as skin irritation, uneven results, and potential long-term health effects if not properly administered.

Topical agents are medications applied directly to a particular area of the skin or mucous membranes to exert a local effect, often used for treating dermatological conditions, pain, or infections. They offer the advantage of minimizing systemic absorption and side effects, allowing for targeted therapy and patient-specific treatment options.

Chemical peels are dermatological treatments that use chemical solutions to exfoliate and remove the outer layers of the skin, promoting regeneration and improving skin texture and appearance. They vary in strength and depth, ranging from superficial peels with minimal downtime to deep peels that require longer recovery periods and are used to treat more severe skin issues.
