Lightening Facial
A lightening facial gently soothes and clarifies. It targets conditions such as acne and rosacea and can help brighten skin. It contains natural ingredients, fortified vitamins and antioxidants to help replenish skin.
Reduces skin inflammation and epidermal hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin) and inhibits the process of melanin production. Great for age spots. Ideal for all types of skin.
Whitening versus Lightening
Skin whitening and skin lightening are very different treatments. While skin lightening uses organic and natural processes, skin whitening uses chemicals that use potentially damaging chemicals that can damage the body and may risk skin poisoning with active ingredients such as bleach, hydroquinone and mercury.
A lightening peel is a great add-on to enhance the effect of this facial.
A lightening facial targets the following issues:
- Uneven skin tone
- Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation
- Sunspots
- Brown spots
- Acne scars
- Age-related spots
Benefits
- Exfoliates by removing dead skin cells.
- Nourishes the newly exposed layer of skin.
- Help smooth and gives you that healthy, youthful look.
- Reduces blemishes and pigmentation variations.
How many treatments before I should expect to see results?
You should be able to observe a change after the very first treatment. However, depending on the issue you want to target, and how advanced it is, your provider will be able to recommend exactly how many treatments are recommended to meet your needs.
What after care is needed?
After your treatment, your risk of getting a sunburn is increased. This is due to the treatment exposing younger skin, which would normally be covered by the top layer of dead skin cells. Therefore, the use of a powerful sunscreen is strongly recommended (min SPF30). In addition, it is always recommended to continue to care for your skin at home. Your provider will be able to advise you on what to add/remove from your skin routine.
Are you a candidate?
Skin Lightening facial is recommended for anyone wishing to even out their skin tone, men and women, of all skin tones.
Who is not a candidate? (Contraindications)
People suffering from severe acne should avoid it.
