Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Prior to starting any treatment this realisation is very necessary that we cannot make a stark change in complexion. But certain medicines would definitely help in improving complexion, make skin even toned and glowing.
For the same you may follow these suggestions
Apply a sunscreen in morning with good uvb and uva protection like shadowz, ultraguard, ansolar etc
Use melawash face wash daily two times in a day. Apply it over face for four to five minutes then wash off
Apply a skin lightening cream like lumacip plus in night. Only a small amount had to be applied over face and do not rub the cream.
Usually with in one to month desirable response is seen. i would also suggest you to take few sessions of skin lightening peels every two or three weeks. Usually four or five sessions are good enough.

Peels along with medicines would definitely improve your skin tone, reduce XXXXXXX and brighten complexion.

Please XXXXXXX a dermatologist nearby for peeling sessions and for proper follow up of advised medicines.
Take care

Brief Answer:
Peels are not painful

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing back.
I have not suggested any oral medicine.
If your fiance wants to have a better complexion, he needs to put in some efforts.
Use of sunscreen is mandatory when one is worried about complexion as it prevents further tanning and development of pigmentation. He may use melawash face wash instead of the regular soap that he uses to wash his face. The night cream suggested is safe to use

Chemical peels are not at all painful. When peels are applied slight burning or pin pricking sensation may be there but if a good quality peel is used, no such burning or pin pricking sensation is felt. With peeling sessions too, sun protection and use of suggested night cream is required.

There is another technique called mesoporation where certain skin lightennig drugs like vitamin c liquorice arbutin etc are introduced into deep skin. It is painless but costly. Also personally I feel chemical peels give better and faster results. But take my words no dermatologist guided procedure will help unless you fiance is motivated and is regular with his sunscreen and other mentioned topical medicines.

Hope this helped.
Take care
