👉 Whitening is a process used in dermatology to lighten skin. The goal of whitening is to make the skin appear brighter and more even, which can improve the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles, and other skin imperfections. Whitening treatments typically involve using brighteners or lightening agents to increase the melanin level in the skin, which leads to a lighter complexion. This process can be performed at home with the help of a professional dermatologist if necessary.
