Depigmenting Facial
Elimina las manchas de tu piel
A depigmenting facial is a specialized treatment designed to reduce hyperpigmentation and improve skin tone uniformity. It targets dark spots, melasma, freckles, and other forms of discoloration caused by sun exposure, aging, acne, or other factors. The goal is to achieve clearer, more even, and radiant skin.
Steps:
-
Initial Evaluation: The treatment begins with a skin assessment to identify the type of hyperpigmentation and your skin’s specific needs. This helps personalize the treatment.
-
Cleansing: The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove impurities, makeup, and any residue that may interfere with the effectiveness of the depigmenting products.
-
Exfoliation: An exfoliation is performed to remove dead skin cells and enhance the absorption of depigmenting ingredients. This may include chemical exfoliants such as glycolic, salicylic, or mandelic acid.
4. Application of Depigmenting Products: Products containing active ingredients such as Vitamin C, Kojic Acid, Tranexamic Acid, Niacinamide, or Hydroquinone are applied. These ingredients help inhibit melanin production and reduce the appearance of dark spots.
5. Mask and Soothing Treatment: A mask with depigmenting and soothing properties is applied to help hydrate and balance the skin. This may also include ingredients that reduce inflammation and irritation.
6. Facial Massage: A facial massage is performed to stimulate circulation and enhance the absorption of the applied products.
7. Sun Protection: At the end of the treatment, a broad-spectrum sunscreen is applied to protect the skin from UV exposure, which can worsen hyperpigmentation.
8. Post-Treatment Advice: You will receive recommendations for at-home skincare, which may include the use of additional depigmenting products and regular sunscreen application.
