About Skin Lightening
Skin Lightening
Skin lightening here is a plan rather than a single product. Pigmentation on the body builds for different reasons (friction, shaving, heat, old irritation), and the right route depends on which of those is driving it and how your skin responds to being treated.
The two routes we draw on are peels and laser. Peels work at the surface and suit broad, more superficial pigmentation; laser targets pigment more directly and suits certain patterns better. Some plans use one; others combine them in sequence.
The steps are decided at your assessment, not from a list. Your practitioner will also be direct about habits that are feeding the pigmentation, because treating the area without changing those tends to be a short-lived result.
How the plan is built
Your practitioner examines the area, establishes how long the pigmentation has been there and what is likely contributing to it, and checks how your skin has responded to previous treatment.
From that assessment a route is chosen (a peel course, a laser course, or a sequence that uses both) with the strength and spacing set for the area and your skin tone.
Body skin is slower to turn over than facial skin, so these plans run over a longer period. Your practitioner will give you a realistic timeline rather than suggesting a quick fix.

Benefits of Skin Lightening
Skin Lightening at our Aldergrove clinic is planned around your skin. Here is what it is designed to do.
- 01Route chosen at assessmentPeels and laser are both available, so the approach is matched to the area and your skin rather than assumed.
- 02Treats the area, not the spotBody pigmentation is usually diffuse, so plans are built to even out a whole area.
- 03Honest about contributorsYour practitioner will name the habits feeding the pigmentation, since treatment alone rarely holds without them.
Suitability
Who Skin Lightening is for
Clients usually ask about this treatment for one of the reasons below. A consultation confirms whether it suits you.
- Darker underarms
- Pigmentation on knees and elbows
- Friction-related darkening
- Uneven tone across a body area
Only a consultation can confirm this. Skinholic provides cosmetic treatments only and does not diagnose or treat medical conditions. If anything on your skin is changing, painful, bleeding or will not heal, please see your family doctor or a dermatologist first.

Good to know
Frequently asked questions.
The questions clients ask us most about Skin Lightening.
Body skin turns over more slowly than facial skin, so these plans run over months rather than weeks. Your practitioner will give you a realistic timeline at the consultation.
Deeper tones can pigment in response to heat and irritation, which is exactly why the route and settings are chosen carefully and built up conservatively. Your practitioner may begin with a test area.
It can, especially where friction, shaving or heat are still contributing. Maintenance and changes to those habits are part of the plan rather than an afterthought.
Yes, under our Intimate Brightening treatment, which uses a protocol specifically intended for that skin rather than the body approach described here.
