Is it really possible to remove a tan? What are the best ways to get rid of it? Also, which type of doctor should I consult to help me completely remove a tan?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, tan removal is possible. Some ways to remove tan include using sunscreen, exfoliating regularly, using skin-lightening creams containing ingredients like hydroquinone or kojic acid, and undergoing chemical peels or laser treatments. A dermatologist can help you in removing tan completely by recommending appropriate treatments such as prescription-strength skin-lightening creams or procedures like chemical peels or laser therapy.

View allI've been dealing with a ton of facial hair, and it's really driving me up the wall. I keep up with threading and waxing, but it's getting to be such a bother. Do you think laser treatments would be a smart move for me? I'm wondering how many sessions I'd need to cover my entire face. Also, are there any side effects I should be worried about?
Laser hair removal can be a good option for reducing facial hair. It is effective in targeting hair follicles and reducing hair growth over time. The number of sessions required for the entire face can vary depending on individual factors such as hair thickness and skin tone, but typically around 6-8 sessions may be needed for optimal results. Some common side effects of laser hair removal on the face may include temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort during the procedure. It is important to follow post-care instructions provided by your healthcare provider to minimize any potential side effects. You can consider using brands like Lumenis LightSheer for laser hair removal on the face. The dosage and frequency of sessions will be determined by the healthcare provider based on your individual needs.

I'm 29 and dealing with baldness, and I'm considering hair transplantation. I don't know much about the process, though. Could you tell me about any side effects or other important details I should be aware of?
Hair transplant may not be the immediate or only solution for you. Consider medical treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, or PRP first, as they can slow or even reverse hair loss. You are too young for a transplant, but its usually best to wait until your hair loss pattern is more stable.
