Most dark skinned people desire to achieve a lighter skin tone, thus they use a lot of money to invest on skin care products or to doctors. Skin lightening surgery is a cosmetic treatment that usually involves restructuring of some skin tissues to lighten the skin and provide a more even skin tone. This process is done by reducing the production and concentration of melanin in the body. Skin lightening surgery uses a variety of methods and peeling has been considered to be the most common. Recovery time after the skin lightening surgery is usually between 14 and 21 days. During this recovery time, you may feel like you have sun burn. Redness, swelling and bruising are just some of the side effects. Redness may also be seen after three weeks but this easily be camouflaged by make up until it finally fades after three months.
