Abstract
Facial dyschromia cause problems in the appearance, resulting in negative psychological and social effects that degrade the quality of life of a person. They are the result of excessive accumulation of melanin in various parts of the epidermis due to excessive melanogenesis, which is either caused by a reaction to the effect of ultraviolet radiation or, in most cases, has a pathological etiology. The present article presents the various methods of skin whitening that can be used through Aesthetic practice.

Keywords: facial dyschromia, skin whitening, melanin, hyperpigmentation, whitening agents, chemical peels, IPL, dermabrasion, microneedling
