Can tanned skin become white again?
In general, tanned skin can return to a lighter tone. Skin darkening is caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV rays penetrate the outer layer of the skin and stimulate melanocytes to produce more melanin. Medical aesthetic treatments such as chemical peels, hyaluronic acid injections, picosecond laser therapy, photorejuvenation (IPL), and fractional laser therapy can help lighten the skin.
