That depends on the depth and type of the scars. With few types of peels and derma abrasions depth of the scars can be reduced.

I'm really concerned about why my face is noticeably darker than the rest of my fair-skinned body. Could sun damage be the cause, and if so, is there a way to lighten my face back to match my body color? I've tried Cosmelan Treatment a couple of years ago, and it helped at first, but now my face is dark again. What can I do about this?

Use SPF 30 sunscreen on all exposed parts of the skin. Use dermal skin peels and dermatologist recommended skin lightening agents. Get evaluated by a qualified dermatologist to rule out other causes of pigmentation and need for chemical peels or micro dermabrasion. Maintain a healthy diet containing lots of Vitamin C and green leafy vegetables. Accompany this with about 150 minutes of physical activity each week.

I was at your clinic on the 16th, and we talked about my hair fall and dandruff issues. You recommended kenzsal lotion, which I bought from the medicine store there. But I forgot to ask how I should use it and for how long. Also, I'm dealing with premature white hair, and I'm just 29 and work as a design engineer. Any suggestions on how to slow down or reduce the white hair?

use it before hair wash
