Uneven tone and dark spots

Exfoliation removes the dull surface layer and a brightening booster such as Britenol targets dark spots. Tone improves gradually over three to six sessions.

What clinics usually suggest

Platinum with a brightening booster. Wear SPF every day or the spots return. Melasma needs a plan from a skin specialist.

The treatment

Platinum HydraFacial: Platinum is the complete version. It starts with lymphatic drainage, runs through every core step, adds a personalised booster and ends with LED light. In Manchester it costs from £150 to £215.
