Treating skin bleaching at its cause

Dr Edith has spent her research fighting skin bleaching. Through several patients she has demonstrated, with her medical aesthetics treatment protocols and product customisation protocols, that both targeted Tropical Skincare and her XCAPE skincare line can transform patients from severe hyperpigmentation to a natural skin tone without damaging the skin barrier.
