permanent skin whitening - #16041

Nikhil

I am really confused about this whole permanent skin whitening thing. I mean, a friend of mine has been going on about how she did this treatment last month and she's looking so different, like a total glow up! I noticed her skin is lighter, and she tells me it's a permanent skin whitening procedure, which sounds kinda intense. I just got back from a holiday, and my skin got a bit darker from the sun, so I thought maybe I wanna know more about this. Are there really safe methods for permanent skin whitening? Like, are the chemicals they use in these treatments harmful? I have light-medium skin condition, and I'm not looking to change who I am, but I wouldn't mind a little enhancement, you know? I do worry about side effects or if it could damage my skin long term. I've seen some reviews online that say amazing things and others sounding super scary, like skin burns or discoloration from permanent skin whitening. So like, how do I decide if it's worth it? Anyone had any personal experiences with this? Ugh, I just want clear and healthy skin that doesn't feel pressured to change so much!
