These dark areas are accumulations of dead cells and melanin on the top layers of the skin. The skin in these areas may also darken due to other factors such as pregnancy, hormonal imbalances, or simply aging. When you arrive for your appointment, the area will be prepped and cleansed. Once dried, a trained aesthetician will apply an exfoliating cream to instantly brighten the skin’s top layers and open the pores. Then, the fast-absorbing gel (all-natural) quickly penetrates the skin to help block the formation of excess melanin in new skin cells. The additional use of red and blue LED lights opens the pores and allows the product’s penetration. The whole procedure is gentle and pain-free. Skin lightening is safe for all skin types.
