WHAT IT IS SKIN LIGHTENING AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Skin Lightening is an organic and natural peeling with lightening properties that promotes new skin cells revealing a brighter skin.

Skin Lightening works great on hyper-pigmentated areas such as dark scars, dark elbows & knees, dark underarms, dark bellybuttons, melasma, and any other hyperpigmentation on the skin. It also works great on red scars. Due to its natural ingredients there are no side effects when doing this treatment, although some instructions will be given to the client that must be followed to avoid infections and/or discolorations. Mild to extreme peeling may be seen in the 3-4 days, results can be seen after 10 days from the first session. Amount of sessions vary depending on the darkness of the hyper-pigmentated area and the client proper after-care protocol.
