Safe Skin Lightening|That makes you glow in Portland

Many of my clients seek skin lightening to target dark spots and areas of hyperpigmentation or to even out areas where their skin tone appears patchy. Skin lightening involves applying topical products that lighten the skin by about 1-3 shades. 

To get the most out of this service, I offer bundle deals for my studio, combining waxing with skin-lightening treatments. It's smart to ditch any hair before treatment—it helps the products soak in better and gives you more effective results.

What to expect at your appointment

  • Step One

    When you arrive, we’ll chat about your skin to make sure the treatment fits your needs and there aren't any issues. If you’ve had recent treatments like lasers, peels, or microneedling, please let me know so I can adapt the service. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it's best to check with your doctor before getting this service.

  • Step Two

    Once we’re ready to begin treatment, we'll go through four phases, each about 2-3 minutes long. I use a professional LED/Ion device to make sure the product gets deep into your skin. It's pretty rare, but some clients might feel mild irritation. You'll see a change right away—skin can lighten up by 1-3 shades after the first session, though everyone is different.

  • Step Three

    To finish up, we’ll go over aftercare and maintenance. To keep those results going strong, I recommend the DUO Bryght kit to my clients for at-home care. Most clients undergo about 3 to 4 treatments, scheduling appointments weekly until they achieve their desired pigment.

Skin Lightening: Common Questions in Portland

  • Skin-lightening products are designed to target only excess melanin, evening out areas darker than your natural skin tone. They work by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for extra melanin production. This prevents hypopigmentation (where the skin becomes lighter than the baseline skin color).

  • The products I use are all vegan, and hypoallergenic, and come from women-owned businesses, so you can feel good about what's going on in your skin.

    • Cleanliness: Please ensure the area of skin you intend to have lightened is clean and free of any lotions, perfumes, or oils.

    • Clothing pre and post-appointment: Bring comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. You don't want anything tight or uncomfortable after the appointment in case you experience some mild skin irritation.

    • Waxing combo: You can wax the same day as your appointment, checkout or bundle deals with lightning and waxing. If you rather not wax it is best to shave the hair in the area that is being treated for better product absorption, hair removal is not necessary.

    • Avoid getting wet: After the appointment, it's best to take it easy for the next 24 hours—avoid intense exercise, sweating, saunas, and hot showers. 

    • Keep up with your skincare: Don't forget to apply sunscreen and moisturizer to maintain results and promote skin health.
