Dear Lybrate user, hydroquinone is a skin-lightening agent. It bleaches the skin, which can be helpful when treating different forms of hyperpigmentation. Hydroquinone bleaches your skin by decreasing the number of melanocytes present. Melanocytes make melanin, which is what produces your skin tone. Our doctors usually deal with this kind of issue by administering laser or chemical peelings method. But first, they assess the skin type and nature of the patients. It helps them to determine the exact treatment duration and medication process very easily. We do have 3 clinics in delhi that include places like greater kailash, indirapuram, and noida. You can visit any of these 3 clinics by scheduling an appointment. If you are unable to visit, we are inviting you to avail our video consultation service. This shall enable you to discuss this kind of issue with one of our senior doctors very easily.
