Skin Whitening Treatment & Injections (Gora Rang)
Want a brighter, lighter-looking, more even skin tone? Skin whitening at the clinic brings out the clearest version of your own tone: a skin whitening injection (glutathione drip) lifts dullness and softens a tan, whitening peels lift the darker surface layer on the face and body, and pico laser fades stubborn patches, from about Rs 4,800 a session in a course.
Also known as gora rang, rang saaf karna, whitening injection, whitening drip, full body whitening or fairness treatment.
Is this you?
- Your skin looks darker or duller than it used to
- A tan that has never fully faded
- Uneven tone, with a darker neck, underarms, knees or hands
- You use make-up mainly to even out your colour
See a doctor first if patches came on suddenly, itch or spread, or you have used shop whitening creams for a long time: some contain mercury, which the WHO warns is harmful.
What causes skin whitening?
- Sun UV makes skin produce more melanin, so it darkens and tans.
- Dull surface Dead skin cells build up and make skin look darker and duller.
- Friction Rubbing darkens the underarms, neck, knees and inner thighs.
- Hormones Pregnancy and hormones can leave darker patches such as melasma.
- Old marks Acne and injuries can leave dark marks behind.

What results to expect
Skin whitening shows gradually. Peels brighten the skin within days, with the biggest change in tan and dullness over two to three peels. A glutathione drip works more slowly, over a course, and only in people who respond: reviews of the studies find a modest lightening effect that fades once sessions stop. Pico laser fades individual dark patches over a few sessions.
The honest limit: no injection, peel or laser changes the colour you were born with, and the sun brings darkness back. Daily sunscreen and occasional top-ups keep your tone even.

Caring for your skin at home
- Sunscreen every day, SPF 30 or higher, on the face, neck and hands, reapplied outdoors.
- Cover up in the sun: sleeves, a cap or dupatta.
- Avoid unbranded whitening creams: some contain mercury, which the WHO warns is harmful.
- Skip bleach, lemon and harsh scrubs: irritation can leave darker patches.
- Moisturise daily, because smooth, hydrated skin looks brighter.
Skin whitening: your questions answered
Straight answers from our doctors to what people ask most about skin whitening.
Choosing a treatment 6
01What is the best skin whitening treatment?
It depends on what is making your skin look darker.
For overall tone, a glutathione injection drip helps in people who respond; for a tan or dull face, a glutathione peel or pumpkin and papaya peel; for the body, body peels; and for stubborn patches, pico laser. Most plans combine two, with daily sunscreen.
02Does the skin whitening injection work?
In some people, modestly.
A glutathione whitening injection lifts dullness and softens a tan in people who respond, over a weekly course of about 10, but it can’t change the colour you were born with, and the effect fades once sessions stop. Peels and pico laser work on the surface and on patches, so most plans combine them.
03What is full body whitening?
A plan for the body, usually body peels on the arms, back, underarms or half body, sometimes with a glutathione drip for overall tone.
Dark underarms, knees and knuckles often need their own treatment, such as underarm whitening or hands and feet whitening. The doctor checks which areas need it first.
04Whitening injection or whitening cream?
Shop creams that promise fast whitening can contain mercury, which the World Health Organization warns is harmful and many countries have banned.
Doctor-led treatments are safer: drips, peels and laser chosen for your skin, and, where it helps, a cream your doctor prescribes. Stop any unbranded cream before treatment.
05Is skin whitening permanent?
No.
Peels and laser clear a tan, dullness and patches, but sun, friction and time bring some darkness back, and a glutathione drip’s effect fades once sessions stop. Daily sunscreen, fewer triggers and occasional top-ups keep your tone lighter and more even for longer.

07What is the skin whitening injection price in Pakistan?
A glutathione whitening drip is Rs 11,495–12,995 a session, by brand, or Rs 91,960–103,960 for a course of 10, about Rs 9,200–10,400 a session.
Glutathione and pumpkin and papaya peels are Rs 5,995, and body peels start at Rs 5,995 for the underarms. Prices are the same at all 12 clinics, the consultation is free, and any current offer is explained at the clinic.
08How many sessions will I need?
Glutathione drips are usually weekly for about 10 sessions; peels two to three sessions, 2–4 weeks apart; and pico laser three to five sessions, about four weeks apart.
Skin looks brighter after the first peel, while a drip builds over the course.
Safety & recovery 2
09Is skin whitening treatment safe?
Doctor-led treatment is, after a check.
The doctor screens you before a drip and gives it into a vein; peels can cause redness and light flaking for a few days. Treatment waits during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Injections given at home or in salons without a doctor carry real risks.
10Can men have skin whitening treatment?
Yes, the same treatments work for men, who often book them for a tan, dull skin or an uneven tone, many before a wedding.
Prices are the same for men and women, and the consultation is free.

اسکن وائٹننگ کا مطلب ہے جلد کا زیادہ صاف، روشن اور یکساں رنگ۔ کوئی علاج پیدائشی رنگ نہیں بدلتا، لیکن دھوپ کا ٹین، بے رونقی اور داغ صاف ہونے سے آپ کا اپنا رنگ نکھر کر ہلکا اور یکساں لگتا ہے۔
علاج: ہمارے ڈاکٹر پہلے جلد کا معائنہ کرتے ہیں، پھر گلوٹاتھائیون انجیکشن (ڈرپ)، وائٹننگ پیل، باڈی پیل یا پیکو لیزر تجویز کرتے ہیں۔
کیا یہ مستقل ہے؟ نہیں، دھوپ سے رنگ دوبارہ گہرا ہو سکتا ہے، اس لیے سن بلاک اور کبھی کبھار دوبارہ سیشن ضروری ہیں۔
