Brightening serum · microneedling delivery
A medically-grounded brightening protocol — addresses the pigment pathway from multiple angles via microneedling delivery.
Recommended at first visit — a small test on inner forearm 24 h before treatment.
The patient should be on a depigmenting routine (vitamin C AM, retinol PM, daily SPF 50) for 2 weeks before starting.
Chlorhexidine 2% on clean skin.
Apply the serum, then mesopen at 0.5 mm across the full face; reinforce melasma patches with a focal 0.75 mm pass. Do not inject.
Pair with mild peels (mandelic, azelaic acid) on alternate weeks. Avoid aggressive lasers during the active series.
4–6 sessions every 2 weeks. Strict SPF 50 throughout.
