The need for lighter skin has led many to try dangerous methods and the latest form of “bleaching” is the use of injections that “lighten from the inside”.

The true power of the injections was revealed by a dealer, identified simply as Rose, in Kenya who said that they can turn a person who overuses them into an albino.

Rose, who has used other bleaching methods herself, says that injections are the way to go for better results.

She said:

“The injection lightens you from inside. It makes women clean,” she tells me. “If you want an even color and fast results, injecting is much better than a cream.”

“Most of my clients are wealthy and some are national celebrities,” she says. “Many are Somali or Indian. But, those ones never come to my shop. They send a driver with a photo of their skin color and I supply what they need.”

Rose laughs, “Some girls go back to their village and tell them the water of Nairobi made them lighter. There is great shame for wanting to change what God gave you.”

According to reports:

The injection is expensive at $70 per shot, nearly a month’s salary for many Kenyans.

The popularity of skin-bleaching injections has rocketed over the last 18 months according to Dr Pranav Pancholi, a Harvard-trained dermatologist who works at Kenya’s Shah Hospital. Pranav says because it’s a recent phenomenon, no one really knows what the long-term health implications are.

“The products used on the streets are not used by certified professionals” he says. “The trade in black market creams and injections is completely unregulated. There is no way of knowing just how dangerous they are.”
