HIGH-INTENSITY SKIN LIGHTENING

HIGH-INTENSITY SKIN LIGHTENING

The High-intensity skin lightening treatment at Christell is designed to reduce melanin patches. It’s a highly effective, versatile treatment that we can design to suit your specific needs.

Excessive pigmentation and imperfections on the skin caused by melanin patches are a result of exposure to the sun and aging. With High-Intensity Skin Lightening treatment, you can regain your skin tone as well as the smoothness and luminosity of your skin.

The treatment involves the inhibition of tyrosine – the enzyme involved in melanin formation. This process has proven to be very effective even in severe melasma and post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation. In most cases, one week after the treatment the skin tone improves by 95%.

This treatment cannot be combined with other skin lightening and de-pigmentation procedures.

Ideal for:

  • Pigmentation
  • Skin imperfections
  • Sun damaged skin

Treatment duration – 30 mins

BEFORE CARE 

  1. Skin Preparation
  • Stop active exfoliants (AHA/BHA, retinoids, vitamin C serums) at least 5–7 days before unless otherwise advised.
  • No waxing, threading, or bleaching the treatment area for at least 1 week before.
  • Avoid self-tanning or heavy sun exposure for 2–4 weeks prior.
  • Use broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 50+ daily.
  1. Medical Disclosures
  • Inform the provider if you have herpes simplex history (you may need prophylactic medication).
  • Disclose any recent chemical peels, microneedling, laser treatments, or cosmetic injectables in the last month.
  • Mention any skin allergies, photosensitivity disorders, or active infections.
  • Share any medications that may cause skin sensitivity (e.g., isotretinoin, doxycycline, certain herbal supplements).
  1. Lifestyle Adjustments
  • Hydrate well in the days before.
  • Get adequate sleep to help skin recovery.
  • Avoid alcohol and smoking 24 hours before treatment — both slow healing.
  1. On Treatment Day
  • Arrive with clean skin — no makeup, moisturizer, or sunscreen.
  • Avoid heavy physical activity before the session to keep skin cool and calm.

AFTER CARE 

  1. Skin Protection
  • SPF 50+ every day without fail; reapply every 2–3 hours when outdoors.
  • Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and heat (saunas, steam rooms) for at least 2 weeks.
  • Wear a wide-brimmed hat and seek shade.
  1. Gentle Skin Routine
  • Use mild, fragrance-free cleansers.
  • Moisturize frequently to maintain skin barrier — ceramide-based or gentle hydrating creams are ideal.
  • No scrubs, exfoliants, or retinoids for at least 1–2 weeks post-treatment (or as advised).
  1. Avoid Irritation
  • Do not pick, rub, or scratch the treated area.
  • Avoid chlorinated pools, hot showers, and excessive sweating for 48–72 hours.
  1. Expected Reactions
  • Mild redness, swelling, dryness, or flaking may occur for a few days.
  • Pigmentation may temporarily darken before lightening — this is part of the healing process.
  1. Follow-up
  • Attend all scheduled review appointments.
  • Use prescribed topical creams (e.g., pigment suppressants, anti-inflammatory creams) as directed.
  • Maintain results with ongoing sun protection and, if recommended, a maintenance lightening program.
