Gold treatments
Gold-based facials for brightness, refreshment and a more even skin tone — including a gold pigmentation treatment. Some gold treatments have no downtime afterwards and some do, and which one is right for you is established at the analysis. They also fit well as a maintenance stage between deeper treatments.
Where it sits inside a plan
Not every treatment needs to be deep. Sometimes what the skin needs is refreshment, brightness and more evenness — and sometimes that is what holds the result of a deeper process between one session and the next.
At the clinic gold treatments are both a treatment in their own right and a stage inside a process. Which of the two applies to you is decided at the analysis.
Gold and pigmentation
The gold pigmentation treatment is one of the routes in the pigmentation field, not an alternative to all of them. Which route is chosen depends on the kind of pigmentation and the depth at which it sits, and that is established at the analysis.
Melasma, sun spots and age spots are not the same thing, and what helps one can make another worse. That is why the distinction precedes the choice of treatment.
Downtime
Gold treatments do not all behave the same way. After some of them you can go straight back to your day, and some do call for recovery time. Which applies to you depends on the treatment chosen at the analysis.
What's true of every treatment is true here too: the before and after instructions are given in advance, and suitability is established at the analysis rather than by what sounds pleasant.
Who it suits
- The skin looks tired or uneven and you want refreshment
- There's an event coming up and you want to know which gold treatment fits your schedule
- You're inside a deeper process and want a maintenance stage between sessions
- There is pigmentation, and you want to check whether this is the right route for it
When we talk first, and when I refer you to a doctor
- A spot that looks irregular to me in shape, borders or colour, or a spot that has changed, is referred to a dermatologist before any treatment.
- An active infection in the treatment area, or irritated skin, postpones the date.
This page is a general explanation of the treatment, not personal advice. Suitability is established at the skin analysis and the conversation around it — and if this treatment isn't what your skin needs, you'll hear that from me.
