A pigmentation facial is a professional skincare treatment planned to address uneven skin tone and the appearance of dark spots, aiming to support skin renewal and tone balance. At Aysel Vural Beauty and Aesthetics Centre in Alanya, we plan your pigmentation facial according to your skin type and the type of pigmentation, and explain the process to you from start to finish.
What is a pigmentation facial?
A pigmentation facial is a treatment process that aims to help darkened areas and tonal differences on the skin's surface look more balanced. It is planned with treatments that support skin renewal and products targeting tone balance. The treatment aims to help the skin look more even, brighter and more radiant. A pigmentation facial is not a substitute for medical treatment of pigmentation. Results vary from person to person.
What causes pigmentation?
Skin pigmentation does not have a single cause. Sun exposure, pregnancy and hormonal changes, marks left after acne or injury, and age-related changes in the skin's renewal rate can all play a role in the appearance of dark spots. Because the type and cause of pigmentation affect the treatment plan, a skin assessment is carried out before every treatment.
How is a pigmentation facial carried out?
- Your skin type, the appearance of your pigmentation, the products you use and your expectations are assessed.
- The skin is cleansed and prepared for treatment.
- Renewal and tone-balancing treatments suited to your skin are applied.
- Advice on daily skincare and sun protection is shared after the treatment.
The content of the treatment varies depending on your skin's sensitivity and pigmentation. A pigmentation facial is not limited to a single session; it is more meaningful when carried out regularly and to a plan.
When is a pigmentation facial chosen?
A pigmentation facial is generally chosen by people who would like support with:
- Uneven tone and darkening after sun exposure
- Dark marks left after acne
- Tone changes during pregnancy and hormonal periods
- Dullness and an uneven-looking complexion
The treatment does not mean these concerns will disappear completely; it aims to improve their appearance.
When should you see a doctor about pigmentation?
Spots that are new, growing quickly, changing in colour or shape, have irregular edges, bleed or itch should not be addressed with a beauty treatment but first assessed by a dermatologist. Skincare at a beauty centre is not a substitute for medical assessment in these cases. If you are unsure about the nature of your pigmentation, we recommend seeing a doctor before planning a treatment.
What should you consider before a pigmentation facial?
Pregnancy and breastfeeding, active skin infection, open wounds, sunburn and skin sensitivity can affect the treatment. Certain regularly used medications and skincare products such as vitamin A derivatives should also be taken into account in the treatment plan. Please be sure to share your medical history, allergies and the products you use during your consultation. Suitability is decided after this assessment.
Aftercare and sun protection
Sun protection is one of the most important parts of any treatment targeting pigmentation. Sun exposure can make dark spots more noticeable again. That is why, after the treatment and in the period that follows, it is important to use a suitable sunscreen throughout the day, keep your skin moisturised and follow the aftercare advice given to you. Temporary redness or sensitivity may occur after the treatment; how long it lasts varies from person to person.
