Q1: How many sessions are typically needed to see noticeable clearance?
A1: Superficial epidermal spots and solar freckling often show noticeable fading after 1 to 2 sessions. Deeper hormonal melasma and stubborn acne scar hyperpigmentation require an average of 4 to 6 sessions spaced four weeks apart, paired with continuous daily topical suppression.
Q2: Does the vitamin C serum facial sting or cause skin peeling?
A2: The treatment produces a brief tingling sensation due to the low formulation pH of the active serum. However, the standard facial does not cause visible peeling. Moderate flaking only occurs when providers combine the infusion with clinical-grade chemical peels or targeted keratolytic solutions.
Q3: Can these brightening treatments permanently eliminate melasma?
A3: Melasma cannot be cured permanently. It is a chronic, genetically and hormonally driven condition. While clinical treatments clear existing pigment deposits, unshielded sun exposure, heat, or hormonal shifts will trigger melanocytes to deposit fresh pigment if patients stop using maintenance topicals.
