What is Tanning?

Tanning is the process of increasing skin pigment, called melanin, because of sun exposure. Skin tanning can also result from artificial tanning services using a tanning lamp in tanning beds, but the leading cause of skin tanning is over-exposure to sunlight. It causes skin darkening on exposed areas of the face, arms, hands, feet, legs, back, and neck.

What Causes Tan?

The sun’s spectrum is made up of several wavelengths, and among this, ultraviolet radiation affects skin the most. UV radiation has three waves: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVB rays burn the skin, while UVA rays darken the skin and cause blemishes. When they get inside the deeper layers of skin, excess melanin is produced, which causes sunburn.

Treatment Options:

Following are the tan removal treatments available at our clinic:

Laser toning:

Laser removal by a dermatologist is one of the best ways to get rid of sunburn. This procedure uses a Q-switch laser machine to break down pigment and reduce tanning, sun spots, etc. For best results, you may need more than one laser treatment session.

Laser treatments work by exposing damaged skin. The laser causes micro-damage to the skin, leading to new skin formation. The treatment increases the production of collagen and, over time, strengthens the skin. Tanning of the skin is less pronounced, and pigmentation on the skin reappears.

Chemical peels:

Chemical peels are used to get rid of burned thin skin and quickly remove and regenerate skin cells by removing thin layers of skin. Peels with additional combined potency help heal dark and thin skin by removing dead skin layers from surfaces that contain too much melanin.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL):

IPL uses a special light to improve skin conditions and relieve melanin-related problems. It works with multiple waves of pulsed light. IPL is known to degrade the appearance of images. It also helps to increase collagen levels in the skin over time.

It will take several sessions to achieve the result. After each session, you will notice a big difference in your skin. The examiner must complete the procedure to get the most out of it.

Microdermabrasion:

It is also an exfoliating treatment that effectively removes sunburn and dead skin cells. It is suitable for all skin tones and ages, as it does not cause discoloration or discoloration of the skin. It does not require numbness as the procedure does not cause pain.

Microdermabrasion also helps tighten the skin, leaving it firm and smooth, and removes moderate to severe cracks and deformations on the skin’s surface.

Aftercare and Recovery:

The usual side effects with all treatments are very similar. Redness and swelling are widespread after treatment. Scabs can form on the skin without the need for laser treatment. You may also feel stinging after a short treatment.

In rare cases, some bruising may be present on treated areas. Your skin will develop sensitivity to sunlight within a week or two after most treatments.

The healing process is quick if you follow your doctor’s recommendations:

Drink plenty of fluids and relax.
Using ice packs on treated areas will help reduce redness and swelling.
Don’t exercise for a day or two, and don’t lift heavy objects.
It is best to avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks during the day.
If you need to go outside, wear a hat, and apply plenty of high SPF sunlight.
Your doctor may recommend certain medications, so be sure to take them on time.
