Chemical Peels

Lip Lightening Creams
Lip lightening creams are one of the most popular home treatments for dark lips. These creams contain active ingredients like kojic acid, hydroquinone, and vitamin C. Kojic acid and hydroquinone inhibit melanin production and are effective skin lightening agents, while vitamin C acts as an antioxidant that brightens the skin. These creams are applied once or twice daily and can show results in a few months in mildly pigmented lips. Dr. Sonavane will recommend a specific cream based on your skin type and the severity of pigmentation. Click to Read: Skin Lightening Treatment

Lip balms for dark lips can be an effective part of your daily skincare routine. These balms are often enriched with SPF to protect the lips from UV damage, as well as moisturizing agents like shea butter, beeswax, and natural oils to keep the lips hydrated. Regular application can prevent further darkening and promote healthier-looking lips. Dr. Sonavane can suggest a lip balm that fits your needs and lifestyle.
