Introduction

Generally, sun-tanned skin is caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV rays can penetrate the outer layer of the skin and stimulate melanocytes to produce more melanin. Skin whitening can be achieved through treatments such as hyaluronic acid injections, chemical peels, photorejuvenation, picosecond laser, and fractional laser therapy. It is recommended to consult a dermatologist or a professional aesthetician.
