Skincare Regime versus Aesthetic Brightening Procedures
Skincare Regime versus Aesthetic Brightening Procedures
Have you ever thought of improving your skin with aesthetic treatments? With technological advancements, there is now a multitude of treatments promising to brighten, tone and lift skin for a more youthful look and radiant complexion. From Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to radio frequency and laser treatments, such aesthetic procedures have become the go-to solutions to common beauty bugbears such as uneven skin tone and problem pigmentation.
Beauty at a cost
While these treatments have become commonplace, they are not without their drawbacks. The side effects, long downtime and high cost associated with some procedures may prove discouraging to those who want to improve their looks. Some people may require multiple sessions to see results or to maintain the desired result.
Sensitive skin, beware
People with sensitive skin who undergo aesthetic treatments may find that their skin has become more sensitive, requiring more care and protection aft er each session. Dark spots that disappear after brightening and laser treatments may darken again.
A new era in brightening skincare
To deal with stubborn spots and dull skin in a safe and noninvasive way, Shiseido introduces the new White Lucent range, which marries the benefits of cosmetic brightening procedures with cutting-edge skincare technology. Four new products have been formulated to fight dark spots and strengthen the skin’s resistance to prevent the appearance of future spots.
Diminish spots and dullness
Inspired by professional cosmetic procedures such as laser therapy, IPL, iontophoresis and brightening drips, each new White Lucent product has individual formulations and technologies to treat spots and melanin-related problems.
The future is bright
They also prevent the formation of new spots. To improve melanin resistance, all incorporate Shiseido’s exclusive SAKURAResist Technology which is derived from Japanese cherry blossoms. Since exposure to UV rays and external stimuli can signal melanocytes (melanin-producing cells) to churn out excessive melanin, Shiseido has developed this technology to suppress the signals received by the melanocytes; this, in turn, reduces the appearance of dark spots.
White lucent luminizing infuser
Deals with stubborn spots
Like multivitamin brightening drips that are said to deliver brightening components directly into the blood vessels, this softener is designed to deliver ingredients deep into skin for a more radiant complexion. Powered by Deep Infuse Technology, it softens the skin surface to promote absorption of brightening ingredients and lighten dark spots.
White lucent microtargeting spot corrector
Targets scattered spots
Inspired by laser treatments, the Microtargeting Spot Corrector targets tiny, scattered spots all over the skin with the new MicroTarget Technology. It optimises skin-cell turnover, reduces excess melanin and improves resistance against future pigmentation. The result? A clear, glowing complexion!
White lucent luminizing surge
Targets reappearance of spots
Spots may disappear after professional laser spot therapy, only to reappear after a while. Inspired by iontophoresis, this night emulsion’s Luminizing Surge Technology helps prolong the efficacy of brightening treatments by protecting your skin with an ion veil and aiding its barrier function. Skin is instantly soothed and shielded from external aggressors, while allowing benefi cial skincare ingredients to penetrate it.
White lucent multibright night cream
Addresses multiple skin concerns
Taking a page from IPL treatments, this night cream’s Multibright Technology helps skin resist excessive melanin production for brightness and radiance. It promotes what the brand terms the “Moonlight Recharge Factor”, which nurtures skin to protect it from damage, thereby reducing the appearance of spots, scars and enlarged pores.
