Brightening Care (Brightening Care)
This program combines low-fluence lasers, injectable procedures, and lifestyle management to maintain an even skin tone. Because maintenance is difficult without concurrent UV protection, guidance on daily care routines is provided alongside treatment.
Brightening Care, a quick summary?
Brightening care is a program that combines low-fluence lasers, pigment-related injections, topical agents, and UV care to maintain an even skin tone. Priorities vary depending on why pigmentation increased (UV rays, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, hormonal changes, etc.), so the cause is identified first. It is not a care completed in a single session, but one maintained over multiple sessions, and maintenance is difficult if UV protection is not combined. Results and maintenance duration may vary by individual.

B:AID's Approach
Unlike pigmentation treatment that directly targets established pigment lesions, brightening care is a management approach focusing on slowing pigment production for overall skin tone and remaining residual pigment. It is planned as a bundle combining in-office procedures with home care such as topical medications, sun protection, and exfoliation. Pigmentation easily darkens again in response to UV rays, heat, and friction stimulation, so it may revert to its original state if care is discontinued; thus, a long-term plan is needed rather than a short, one-time treatment. The degree and timing of response may vary by individual.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my skin brighten after a single session?
This is not a care program completed with a single procedure. It is a maintenance routine performed over multiple sessions, and the degree of change varies by individual.
Is sun protection mandatory?
Yes. If UV protection is not properly managed, it is difficult to maintain the results. We will also guide you on how to use sunscreen.
Are oral or topical medications used together?
If necessary, topical treatments or oral medications are planned together. Usage and duration are determined during consultation.
If the cause of pigmentation is different, is the method also different?
Yes. Priorities vary depending on causes such as UV rays, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or hormonal changes, so we identify the cause first.
Can I receive treatment even if I have sensitive skin?
Intensity and intervals are adjusted based on the condition of the skin barrier. During periods of severe irritation, recovery care may be prioritized first.
What is the recommended treatment cycle?
It varies depending on skin condition and stage of progress. We will check the progress and advise on the next timing.

How should I care for my skin after the procedure?
Sun protection, moisturizing, and activities to avoid vary depending on the type of procedure. We will provide post-procedure precautions, and for procedures requiring follow-up checkups, we will also advise you on when to visit again.
What should I do if side effects or unexpected reactions occur?
