I'm looking to lighten my skin by 3 to 4 shades because I have a brownish complexion and really want a fairer skin tone. I've tried loads of natural remedies, but they're so slow and don't last. I'm really curious about a more permanent solution. Is there a full-body skin bleaching treatment available in Guwahati? If so, what's the cost involved? And are there specific steps I need to follow to achieve and maintain that lighter skin tone permanently?

I'm currently taking Livogen Z, Follihair tablets, and some Ayurvedic medicines like Kanchanaar Guggul and Triphala Ras for ovarian cysts. How long should I continue with the Follihair and Livogen Z?
