I'm really concerned about the pigmentation on my lips. I've been thinking a lot about ways to reduce it but I'm not sure what my options are. Can you tell me more about the treatments available, how much they typically cost, and how long it might take before I notice any changes? Also, are there any creams specifically for dark lips that you would recommend?

Reducing lip pigmentation can be achieved through various treatments. Here are some options:

Laser Treatment: This is a precise and effective solution for achieving even-toned lips. Laser treatment targets pigmented cells, promoting a balanced and natural lip color with minimal downtime. The cost of treatment in Pune varies from INR 4,000 to 6,000 per session.

Chemical Peels: This treatment involves the application of a chemical solution to the lips to eliminate the top layer of skin and expose lighter skin underneath.

Microdermabrasion: This method utilizes a specialized tool to delicately remove the outer layer of skin, unveiling a brighter and smoother complexion beneath.

Topical Creams: Certain creams containing lightening agents like hydroquinone or kojic acid can help reduce lip pigmentation.

I was diagnosed with tuberculosis last month, and since then, I've noticed that my skin color has turned darker. I used to have fair skin before. I'm really worried if this change will last or if my original complexion will return after I recover. Can you please let me know what to expect?
