Tan Removal

Tanning occurs when the skin is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, leading to an increase in melanin production which darkens the skin. This can result in an uneven skin tone, dark patches, and an overall dull appearance. Excessive tanning can also cause long-term skin damage, premature aging, and increase the risk of skin cancer.

Benefits: Tan removal treatments can restore your skin’s natural color, reduce pigmentation, improve skin texture, and enhance overall skin health. They also prevent further damage and aging caused by UV exposure.

Causes: Tanning is primarily caused by UV radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Overexposure to UV rays stimulates melanin production, leading to skin darkening and potential damage.

At Mirai Skin and Hair Clinic, we offer a variety of effective treatments to remove tan and restore your skin’s natural glow:
