List of Top Bollywood Actresses That Got Skin Whitening/Lightening Treatments Done

Indians are famous for their exotic sultry complexion all over the world but thanks to the obsessive fairness craze, everyone wants to be ‘fair’ to look pretty here. When the concept of ‘beauty’ is discussed in the society, majority of the people find fair skin and sharp features as the benchmark for beauty. And well, our Bollywood divas have not stayed behind either. Plastic surgery is another topic altogether but a number of our well-known Bollywood divas seemed to have undergone the ‘lightening/whitening/fairness’ treatments to keep up with the society’s notion of ‘beauty’. To be impartial, I would say there’s nothing wrong with skin lightening as it is a personal choice at the end of the day. However, this trend should not be a ‘requirement’ to call a woman beautiful or to judge her capabilities (you know, you get fair and then only you get a good job or a husband! Like seriously?)

Treatments & Surgeries for Skin Whitening, Lightening & Fairness

Bleaching – This can be temporary or permanent. Temporary bleaching involves the use of various bleaching facial creams easily available in the market. They make your skin brighter and remove discolorations and pigmentation for a short period of time. Permanent bleaching involves several other chemicals and lasts for a longer period of time. It can make your skintone  2-3 shades lighter with proper techniques.

Chemical Treatments – This involves various chemicals like hydroquinone, mequinol, azelaic acid, kojic acid and derivatives of certain mulberry plants. These chemicals enhance the skin tone and lighten the complexion.

Cryosurgery – When all the above methods are failed then cryosurgery is used. It is a method where liquid nitrogen is used to destroy the melanin which allows skin to redevelop a new epidermis with a lighter shade. This is done by certified dermatologists and involves high cost.

Laser Treatments – Laser treatments are done to considerably improve the uniformity of skin tone and texture. Laser treatments are best to reduce dark spots and are not typically recommended for whitening the entire face or part of body by most of the doctors in the world.
