dermatologist treatment for skin whitening - #17515

Meera

I am curious about dermatologist treatment for skin whitening because I’ve been dealing with some uneven skin tone for a while now. Started noticing it after I spent this summer way too long in the sun, even though I thought I was using enough sunscreen, guess not. It was kind of gradual at first, but then I woke up one day and realized my cheeks were way darker than the rest of my face, it looked kinda weird. So, I tried over-the-counter creams, but honestly, nothing really worked and I feel like I’ve wasted a ton of time and money. My friend recommended seeing a dermatologist for treatment for skin whitening, but I'm nervous, like, will it really help? I read about some treatments involving laser and peels, but I'm not sure what to expect from a dermatologist treatment for skin whitening. Has anyone had success with these methods? Are there any side effects of these dermatologist treatments that I should know about? And, like, is there a difference between these treatments? Do they hurt?? Its exhausting feeling self-conscious over this, especially when everyone else seems so flawless.
