How is it done?
The facial whitening procedure is carried out immediately after cleansing the skin. Using exfoliation/peeling, where we remove the stratum corneum with active exfoliants, which may be: glycolic acid or retinoic acid. We proceed to whitening. Currently, there are combinations of several active ingredients for this procedure, but it is important to know that these will be used according to the skin’s tolerance. White clay is generally used for whitening as a mask because it has healing, oil-absorbing and whitening properties. In the whitening process, we use electrotherapy as a more effective resource, which is ionization with a kojic acid-based product, ensuring that the product penetrates the area being worked on more effectively, giving the expected effect of lightening the stain. Whitening does not occur in just one session.
Frequency
It must be evaluated by a professional.
