Our Brightening Skin treatment plan targets dullness, uneven tone, and pigmentation to restore a clearer, more luminous complexion. We combine gentle, evidence-based options—such as light chemical exfoliation, pigment-inhibiting actives, targeted devices, and high-SPF guidance—to lift surface discoloration and improve overall radiance with minimal downtime.

What It Targets

• General dullness and loss of glow
• Uneven skin tone and blotchiness
• Sunspots and age spots
• Post-inflammatory marks (e.g., after blemishes)
• Early melasma management (with tailored, conservative protocols)
• Rough texture and enlarged-looking pores

Benefits

• Brighter, more even skin tone
• Smoother texture and refined look of pores
• Helps fade superficial pigmentation and dark marks
• Supports a healthier moisture barrier and glow
• Custom plans for different skin types, including sensitive
• Low-downtime options that fit busy schedules

Your Personalised Plan

Following consultation, your clinician may recommend a tailored combination from:

• Gentle peels / enzyme resurfacing (AHA/BHA/PHAs, low % for minimal downtime)
• Brightening actives (vitamin C, niacinamide, azelaic/kojic/arburtin-based formulas)
• Targeted device-based sessions (low-downtime tone-refining options when suitable)
• Barrier support & SPF strategy to maintain results long-term

Pricing

Pricing depends on the specific protocol (peel strength, add-ons, and any device-based steps) agreed during your consultation.

The Process

Step 1: Initial consult

At our Southbank clinic near Melbourne’s CBD, we assess your skin type, history of pigmentation, current routine, and lifestyle. We set realistic goals, discuss options and expected downtime (if any), then create a plan tailored to your skin.

Step 2: Treatment

Most brightening treatments take 20–40 minutes. You may feel mild tingling or warmth during resurfacing steps. Many protocols are “lunch-break friendly” with little to no downtime.

Common, temporary effects:

• Light redness or tightness for 24–48 hours
• Mild flaking/peeling (usually subtle) depending on peel strength

Step 3: Aftercare

Immediately & first 48 hours

• Keep skincare simple: gentle cleanser + hydrating moisturiser
• Avoid heat (sauna/steam), intense workouts, and active exfoliants
• Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ if outdoors

For 1 week

• Pause strong actives (retinoids, high-% acids) unless your clinician advises
• Do not pick or rub if you experience light flaking

Ongoing

• Daily SPF and a clinician-guided brightening routine to maintain results
• Series of sessions (e.g., every 3–4 weeks) may be recommended for stubborn tone issues
