Hello doctor. I want to know if we do melanin treatment (to become fair) will there be any side effects as we grow old? Will we become fair? How does that work? How long should we continue this treatment? Thank you.

Most skin-lightening treatments, which can reduce or block some amount of melanin production, are aimed at inhibiting tyrosinase. Many treatments use a combination of topical lotions or gels containing melanin-inhibiting ingredients along with a sunscreen, and a prescription retinoid. If there are black marks etc peeling or laser is needed
