FAQs about Skin Whitening / Complexion

1. How does the skin darken or develop patchy tan?

The complexion is the visual assessment of our skin color, tone and clarity. The skin texture describes the appeal of our skin to touch. Together, complexion and texture reflects the apparent character and general health of the skin.
The obvious causes of deterioration in the complexion are:
- Dry skin with lack of adequate moisture
- Deposition of dead cells
- Improper skin care
- Use of wrong cosmetics
- Excessive exposure to sun
- Severe and moderate acne.
- Anemia and poor circulation.

2. I am dark by birth. Can I change my birth colour? Your skin colour whether dark or fair is determined by genes. Melanin is the pigment that provides colour to the skin, if melanin is more, your skin will have the dark complexion. Melanin protects skin from harmful rays of the sun; overexposure to sun causes your skin to become dark. Valeda can make you fairer because the complexion treatment aims at nutritive and long lasting simulative principals wherein the skin becomes naturally fairer along with improved texture.

6. How important are derma sessions in enhancing the complexion?

Dull and dark complexion is triggered by an unusual production of melanin by abnormal melanocyte. It generally occurs in people with darker complexion. It is typically brought about by acne, scar and prolonged exposure to the sun. Derma sessions shed the top layer of skin and produce normal melanocyte. It also boosts the absorption and increases the concentration of active ingredients from topical skin lightening products thus improving its efficacy and speeding up results. It also has the ability to break up old scars and stimulate collagen and elastin production that is similar to healthy skin.
