How to lighten stains on the hands

Cryotherapy

Ideal for single senile spots or small groups of stains. Cryotherapy is an outpatient procedure that exploits liquid nitrogen, which freezes and destroys the cells that produce the pigments, causing the stain to desquamm.

Sweet almond oil

Another strengthening skin ingredient is sweet almond oil. It is rich in vitamin E and niacin, important against hyperpigmentation and to improve skin tone.
