Melanin is the source element of pigmentation which appears as brownspots or freckles on your skin.
Hydroquinone (HQ) is a well-known, very effective whitening factor which inhibits the enzyme that is needed for melanin formation. HQ also decomposes melanin that has already been created and is a reducing agent for oxidation.

If you apply HQ on the targeted area on your skin over a period of time, the pigmentation gets lighter and milder. Some pigmentations can almost completely fade out like the photo above. While you are using HQ on the exposed areas like face, it is highly advised to avoid strong sun light, as sun damage spoils the efficacy. Please apply sunblock during the daytime.
If you are already having treatments such as IPL(*Intensive Pulsed Light) or other laser procedures, you can expect a synergistic effect with HQ. * In our clinic, we have the IPL machine called Photo-Genesis.
What we would like to introduce today is the brand-new 5% HQ stick, which can be prescribed in our clinic. This product was developed by Tokiwa Yakuhin Kogyo and is made in Japan.
You can apply this HQ not only to brownspots or freckles, but also to darkened nipples and bikini lines like the photo below. Isn’t this effect amazing?
