Face Hair Bleach Treatment in Delhi

Depending upon your skin type, sensitivity, and skin health condition, the doctor may suggest a bleach with the combination of the following ingredients. For a more personalized understanding and skincare routine, consult the best dermatologists in your Delhi at Pristyn Care. 

Facial bleach creams usually contain the following chemicals. 

• Hydrogen peroxide. It is an oxidizing agent and releases oxygen when applied to the skin. Old and dead skin cells are being sloughed due to the burst of oxygen molecules, making the skin look flawless and glowing. These also help in reducing the acne scars and dark spots by boosting the melanin concentration in your epidermal and dermal layers. 
• Hydroquinone. It gives the skin a lighter and even-toned appearance by decreasing the melanocyte count. 
• Sodium hypochlorite:- It is one of the most common ingredients and is responsible for the bleaching action
• Facial bleach may also contain certain other chemicals, such as calcium hypochlorite, sodium percarbonate, and sodium dithionate

Melanin is a pigment molecule that gives your hair its natural color. Human hair usually contains two forms of melanin: pheomelanin and eumelanin. Human skin and hair are black and brown in color due to the presence of eumelanin, while pheomelanin gives hair its red color. The color of the hair is dependent on the presence of different ratios of these two types of melanin. Bleaching agents lighten your hair by removing melanin from its strands.

Facial bleach doesn’t have any effect on your complexion and only discolors your dark facial hairs. A lighter and softer shade of the hair may make the skin look fairer. Bleaching is a more cost-effective and hassle-free way of reducing the appearance of facial hair than the other available options, such as waxing, shaving, threading, or laser hair removal.

• Reduction of dark spots 

Several factors, such as aging, hormonal changes during puberty or pregnancy, and sun damage, may lead to the development of dark spots on your skin. Facial bleach decreases the concentration of melanin pigment in the layers of your skin. It gives you flawless skin, minimizing the appearance of any spots or marks

• Addresses sun tanning

An extended period of time in the sun can cause your skin to tan and give it a darker appearance. Facial bleach helps in reducing the tanning marks and gives you a more even-toned complexion 

• Instant skin glow

Facial bleach contains chemical components, including mercury, sodium hypochlorite, or hydroquinone, that decrease the production of melanin pigment. After a 10-15 minute application of bleach on the face, it turns the darker hairs to a light golden shade, giving the face an appearance of brighter and glowing skin. 

• Scar reduction and discoloration

Facial bleach helps in minimizing the appearance of skin discoloration caused due to melasma or freckles, and acne scars. Sometimes, it can also be used to reduce psoriasis and eczema scars. 

• Quick and painless

You need to apply and leave the cream on your face for 10-15 minutes only. During the initial 1-2 minutes, you may feel a tingling sensation, which means that the product is working. In order to avoid irritation and inflammation, you should always leave it only for the indicated period of time. Wash it off(as directed) for a smoother and more glowing skin. It is considered less painful than waxing or threading. 

While there are several benefits of using bleach on the face, using harsh chemicals on your skin comes with a lot of risks and side effects, too. Also, there are some preventive methods for the maximum and long-lasting results. 

• More prone to sun damage 

The chemicals present in the face hair bleaching creams penetrate into the layers of your skin and manipulate the melanocytes to produce a reduced amount of melanin. Melanocytes are responsible for the production of melanin, which gives the skin its color and protects it from the harmful rays of the sun. While the reduced production of melanin makes the skin look brighter, it also compromises its ability of natural sun protection. It is advisable to stay indoors after approximately 24 hours of bleach application and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen afterwards. 

• Irritation and inflammation

Bleaching works as an exfoliation method and peels off the layer of dead skin. Sometimes, it may cause thinning of your skin by removing the healthy layer, and can also remove the natural microbiome of your skin. It makes the skin more prone to infections and susceptible to external irritants. It may also cause skin irritations, eczema, or dermatitis, itching, and blisters. Sometimes a bleaching cream can also have carcinogenic effects and make it more prone to cancer. 

• Mercury toxicity

Ingredients available in bleaching creams, such as mercury(II) chloride or ammoniated mercury, can have serious detrimental effects on the skin. These can cause scarring of the tissues, rashes, severe inflammation, formation of discolored patches on the skin, and premature aging of the skin. 

• Hydroquinone

One of the primary ingredients found in the bleaching cream is popular for inhibiting melanin production in the skin to give it a lighter shade. However, according to recent studies, over 2% concentration of hydroquinone in any cosmetic product can have harmful effects. It can cause blue-grey pigmentation on your skin, which is called ochronosis. It may also cause the formation of wrinkles and premature aging. 

• Other consequences

Long-term use of the corticosteroids found in face bleaching creams can cause steroid acne, which is characterized by big, painful pimples and leaves scars on the skin. According to dermatologists, cosmetics containing hydrogen peroxide at concentrations higher than 3% may be harmful. Complications like blisters, hives, or burns might result from the hydrogen peroxide in bleaching chemicals. Eczema may result from it, as well as itching and irritation.

• Always patch test at least 48 hours before the actual schedule
