Question : Hi, I am from the United States. I am XXXXXXX XXXXXXX and have darker skin. I want to have my skin permanently lightened with surgery or have melanin reduction surgery. I would like to know where can I go to get this procedure done?

I am willing to travel if needed.
And about how much could I expect to spend for full body permanent skin lightening? And about how many treatments or sittings should I expect?

Thank you!
