Target dark spots and sun damage at the source
Years of Florida sun leave their mark — sunspots, patchy tone, and stubborn discoloration that at-home products struggle to reach. Our brightening facials go deeper: gentle galvanic current helps drive brightening actives into the skin to break up existing pigment and fade sunspots, while professional exfoliation clears the dull surface layer so fresh, even-toned skin comes through.
Every visit begins with a skin assessment so we can tailor the treatment to your discoloration — sun damage, post-blemish marks, or a general lack of glow — and keep it safe for reactive or melasma-prone skin.

What to expect
Many clients notice brighter, more even-looking skin after a single Sun-Damage Brightening Facial, but pigment that built up over years fades best with consistency — typically a short series spaced a few weeks apart, then monthly upkeep. Daily SPF is non-negotiable afterward: sun exposure is what created the pigment in the first place, so protecting your results is part of the plan.

Good to know
Brightening facial questions, answered
How much does a brightening facial cost in Fort Myers?
Our Express Brightening Facial is $70 for a focused 30-minute treatment, and the full Sun-Damage Brightening Facial is $175. Discoloration responds best to a series, so we also offer a discounted 3-visit series and monthly memberships.
What does a brightening facial actually do for dark spots?
It combines professional exfoliation to clear dull, pigmented surface cells with galvanic infusion that drives brightening actives deeper to help break up existing pigment. Over a series, sunspots and uneven tone visibly soften.
Is a brightening facial safe for melasma or sensitive skin?
Yes, with care. We begin every visit with a skin assessment and adjust the actives and intensity for reactive or melasma-prone skin. Melasma in particular needs a gentle, consistent approach plus daily SPF — we build that into your plan.
How many treatments will I need to fade sun damage?
Pigment that accumulated over years rarely clears in one visit. Most clients see the best results from a short series spaced a few weeks apart, followed by monthly maintenance and diligent sun protection.
Do I need to avoid the sun after a brightening facial?
Absolutely — freshly treated skin is more vulnerable to UV, and sun exposure is what caused the pigment to begin with. Wear a broad-spectrum SPF daily and avoid direct sun for a few days after your treatment.
