Are there any skin whitening injections?

Dull skin
Divya Bhatia asks,
My skin is very unpredictable and I'm unable to sum up whether it's dry or oily. Every alternate day I do cleansing and toning, but all in vain. My skin does not have a glow and other parts of my body are fairer as compared to my appearance. Kindly suggest.
Dear Divya,
Skin looks dull especially in a case of hormonal imbalance. Consult a dermatologist to rule out any of this. Wash your face 2-3 times a day depending on the oiliness of skin. Use a good sunscreen of SPF (30 or above) 3-4 times a day. Use a good moisturising cream at night. You can use multani mitti pack once / twice a week. You can use skin-lightening creams containing Vit-C, Kojic acid, Hydroquinone at night.
Skin whitening injection
Priya asks,
I am a dark complexion Malaysian Indian and would like to know if you have any effective skin lightening products that could give me a fast result in lightening my complexion within 3 months as I'll be getting engaged. Are there any whitening injections that could give a fast result and how much would all this cost me?
Dear Priya,
One's complexion is genetically determined but of course you have to take good care of it. Use a good sunscreen of SPF (20 or above) to avoid tanning. That could be more effective than fairness creams. Use a good moisturising cream at night. There are various kinds of peels like glycolic acid, azelaic acid and herbal peel. 4-6 sittings are required at an interval of 4-6 weeks to get the desired results. Make sure it is done by a trained professional. Creams containing Vit-C, Kojic acid, Hydroquinone when applied at night will help in lightening. There is no whitening injection to give a fast result.
Age defying creams
Pooja asks,
I am 47 years old. My skin-type is dry. I am looking for some good and effective age-defying serum/lotion for day as well as night application. Please suggest some names of the same (Indian or foreign brands) that I may find useful.
Dear Pooja,
At age 47, the skin tends to get dry and wrinkled. Avoid excessive sun exposure. Every morning use a good sunscreen with SPF 30/35 plus a moisturiser. At night use a good heavy night cream containing glycolic acid or retinols. Also take supplements of evening Primrose oil and antioxidants. Go for moisturising facial once in a month.
Stretch marks
Pravin asks,
I am 22yrs old. Few yrs ago I lost lot of weight then gained again, hence developed a lot of stretch marks. I had used few products but got no significant results. Any suggestions?
Dear Pravin,
Stretch marks occur due to permanent snapping of elastic fibres of dermis and hence unfortunately don't go 100%. It occurs due to sudden loss or gain in weight. Using mixture of retinoic acid with mild steroid and hydroquinone on alternate nights will help in lightening to a certain extent.
Face lightening creams
Mini asks,
I wanted to quit wearing foundation for some time now and use face-lightening creams as a substitute. The one that has interested me the most is the demerlogical skin whitening system and so I would want your advice on using these products.
Dear Mini,
There are many face lightening creams in the market. Make sure it is a branded one. Consult a dermatologist for proper medical help. You can use skin lightening creams containing Hydroquinone, Vit -C, Kojic acid / Azelaic acid at night followed by a good sun block during the day.
