Discover how we earned our 5-star reputation

Our genetics, age, diet, lifestyle, sun exposure and a host of other factors all influence the quality of our skin. It’s perfectly natural for our skin’s complexion to lose lustre and dull with time. This is true no matter our skin tone or background. 

Clients from across Australia have sought treatment at our Melbourne clinic. Here, they know they’ll receive tailored treatment plans that’ll leave them with glowing, healthy, youthful-looking skin. Book your consultation, and let’s see how we can help you.

Before & after: skin brightening treatment

The strength of our skin brightening treatment lies in its versatility — it isn’t just one treatment. Depending on your skin type, the types of blemishes you wish to erase and the overall results you want, we might recommend laser or chemical peels in a staged treatment cycle. 

Intensive though they may be, our skin brightening therapies are minimally invasive and highly effective.

  • We use industry-leading laser technologies to target specific areas of the body.
  • We use mild and deep-penetration chemical peels to treat different skin types.

We trust our results speak for themselves.

Our skin-brightening treatments

Let’s schedule a consultation. Our clinicians will assess your skin and discern the right laser or peel treatment to rejuvenate and brighten your skin.

Clear + Brilliant

Clear + Brilliant laser therapy is an extremely mild treatment. The laser targets the superficial layers of your skin, gently removing fine lines and uneven blemishes caused by sun damage, pollution or scarring.

Fraxel laser

Fractional lasers are a medium-deep penetration therapy. We target blemishes with two beams of light simultaneously, with each beam set at a different wavelength.

The Cosmelan peel gently removes the outer skin layers to reveal the fresh and bright layers beneath. The at-home stages prevent pigment formation, so you can enjoy your results for longer.

Our innovative dermal clinicians

Having earned degrees from leading Australian institutes, our clinicians continue to build their trusted reputation through diligent work and a desire to test, assess and develop new treatment plans for their unique clients.

Getting the best out of our skin brightening treatments

We must be clear: skin brightening is not the same as skin whitening. We are fully aware that ‘skin lightening’ is a sensitive and often problematic topic. We have no desire to exacerbate anyone’s insecurities — precisely the opposite, in fact. Our goal is to help our clients, whatever their skin tone, make significant progress in their journey towards self-love and confidence. 

All skin tones, from pale to dark, will dull with time. Our skin brightening treatments do not whiten your skin; they remove the dull, tired layers of skin to reveal the glowing new skin beneath. We can help you to:

  • Brighten the skin of your face, neck and decolletage
  • Reduce the signs of premature ageing
  • Alleviate sun damage
  • Even out patchy pigmentation
  • Lighten dark spots, scars and stretch marks

What We Treat

Preparing your skin for brightening lasers and peels

Following your initial consultation, your dedicated clinician will design your personalised treatment plan. The plan will explain which treatments they’ve chosen (based on your discussions and your skin type) and detail your treatment schedule. It’ll also give you pre-treatment preparation instructions to follow. 

Your preparation instructions will align with your unique plan, but you can expect the following:

  • Do not apply any other skin treatments for at least a week prior to your appointment. Treatments to avoid include peels, lasers and injectables.
  • For at least 48 hours prior to your appointment, avoid blood-thinning substances (medications, alcohol, etc) and activities that may raise your blood pressure (strenuous exercise). 
  • On the day of your appointment, do not apply any makeup, moisturiser, sunscreen, deodorant or any other product to your skin.

Following these instructions will help you achieve the best possible results, and help you mitigate any side effects like excessive bruising or bleeding.

Preparation

Quick and easy treatment. Stunning results.

Your appointment will last thirty minutes to an hour, depending on your treatment plan. Here’s what you can expect.

  • We will begin with a plan review to confirm you feel comfortable and confident with what the session will entail and understand the results we’re aiming to achieve.
  • We’ll sanitise your skin with a quick wipe. If you’re concerned about discomfort, we will apply a numbing cream to your skin around the treatment area.
  • We’ll carry out your skin brightening treatment, talking you through our progress as we go.
  • After your treatment, we may ask to monitor you for 15 minutes to help manage any adverse reactions.

Finally, we will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to follow.

On The Day

You’ll receive personalised aftercare instructions

Your treatment plan will explain how long you can expect to wait to see the full results of your skin brightening treatment. While you will see results immediately, it can take up to a week for your skin to reveal its brightest glow.

You may not require significant recovery time, but your treated skin may feel tender for 4-7 days following treatment. Here’s how you can care for it:

  • Moisturise your skin regularly using a potent product. We recommend using the Hydra-vital light moisturising gel cream
  • Protect your healing skin using high-SPF sunscreen.
  • Avoid putting excessive pressure on your face. Do not sleep on it.
  • After laser treatment, your skin may flake. These are the dull skin cells sloughing off. Do not attempt to pick or peel your skin — simply let it come off naturally.
  • After injectable treatment, it is natural for the filler to feel bumpy as it settles. You can smooth it out by gently massaging it with a cold press.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do the results of skin brightening treatments last?

You can expect your skin to remain bright and lustrous for a year — perhaps even longer. However, you must diligently care for your skin to keep it at its best. We recommend you maintain an intense skincare routine with moisturisers and sunscreen. 

Our dermal clinicians can advise you on how to help your results last longer and can recommend skincare products as well.

Do skin brightening treatments hurt?

Not at all. Our clients have never reported any unbearable pain during or after their skin-brightening treatments. However, they have reported the following:

  • The laser treatments can be mildly uncomfortable. The sensation of the lasers has been likened to a small rubber band snapping rapidly against the skin.
  • The microneedling treatment can also be unpleasant, though not unbearable. The needles do not penetrate as deeply as a tattoo gun, and can feel itchy as they work.
  • The chemical peels can feel itchy and warm as they remove the topmost layer of your skin.

If you are concerned about pain or discomfort, our numbing cream will dull the sensation till all you feel is a light discomfort.

Following treatment, it is normal to experience mild redness and itchiness as your skin heals. These symptoms will alleviate within a few days as your skin recovers.
