251: Five Minute Friday: All About Hydroquinone and the Gold Standard of Bleaching Treatments - a podcast by Kay Durairaj, MD, FACS @beautybydrkay

Hi Beauties,

This week on Beauty Bytes with Dr. Kay: Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, we chat about hydroquinone and why it is the powerhouse treatment for hyperpigmentation and scarring. Hydroquinone is the gold standard for the treatment of hyperpigmentation and therefore is the most prescribed bleaching agent for treating melasma, freckles, lentigines, age spots, and acne scars. Although hydroquinone has been controversial in the past, for over fifty years it has been established as the most effective ingredient for fading uneven skin tones and dark spots. Dr. Kay discusses the controversies involving its safety profile, her strategy for treating melasma, and how to use hydroquinone in conjunction with other products to get the best results.
