Advanced pigment correction

Our Lighten Up + Fade Away treatment is Tulua’s signature approach to correcting melasma and hyperpigmentation using a strategic combination of Aerolase Neo Elite laser therapy and a customized chemical peel. This dual-modality treatment works by targeting pigment at multiple levels—breaking up excess melanin, reducing inflammation, and accelerating cellular turnover for a brighter, more even complexion. Unlike aggressive treatments that can worsen pigment in deeper skin tones, this protocol is intentionally designed to be safe and effective for all skin types, including Fitzpatrick VI, making it a trusted option for patients who have struggled to find safe solutions elsewhere.

To elevate your results, we pair in-clinic treatments with our Pigment Correcting Bundle, featuring medical-grade home care such as Cyspera to continue pigment suppression between visits. This combination approach not only enhances your outcome but helps maintain long-term clarity and prevent recurrence—because treating pigment without a maintenance plan is where most people fall short. Patients can expect gradual, natural-looking improvement with minimal downtime, making this ideal for those who want real results without compromising skin health.

ABOUT LIGHTEN UP AND FADE AWAY

Lighten Up + Fade Away is Tulua’s signature pigment-correcting treatment designed to safely and effectively treat melasma, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. This advanced protocol combines Aerolase Neo Elite laser technology with a customized chemical peel, creating a synergistic approach that targets pigment while preserving the integrity of the skin. It is thoughtfully designed to be safe for all skin tones, including Fitzpatrick VI, making it an ideal solution for patients who require results without risk of worsening pigmentation.
This treatment addresses pigment at multiple levels. The Aerolase laser gently penetrates the skin to break up excess melanin and reduce inflammation, which is a key driver of conditions like melasma. The customized chemical peel then enhances cellular turnover, allowing discolored, damaged skin to shed and reveal a brighter, more even complexion. To optimize and maintain results, we pair this treatment with a medical-grade pigment-correcting regimen, including Cyspera, to continuously suppress pigment production at home.
Treatments are comfortable, quick, and require minimal downtime. You may experience mild warmth during the laser portion, followed by light tingling with the peel. After treatment, expect mild redness and a dry or sandpaper-like texture for a few days, with possible light peeling depending on your customized protocol. Results develop gradually, with improvement in tone, clarity, and brightness over a series of treatments. Consistency—both in-office and at home—is what drives the best outcomes.
- Safe for all skin types, including Fitzpatrick VI
- Effectively treats melasma, PIH, and sun damage
- Targets both pigment and underlying inflammation
- Minimal downtime with progressive, natural results
- Enhances overall skin clarity, tone, and texture

Pigment is complex—and treating it requires more than a one-size-fits-all approach. Lighten Up + Fade Away is a strategic, multi-modality treatment designed to correct discoloration safely while supporting long-term skin health. When combined with a consistent at-home regimen, this protocol delivers visible, lasting improvement without compromising your skin barrier.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Most patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart, depending on the severity of pigmentation.
Yes—this protocol is specifically designed to treat melasma safely by minimizing heat damage while targeting inflammation and pigment production.
Absolutely. This treatment is carefully designed to be safe and effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including VI, which is often underserved in traditional pigment treatments.
Many patients notice brighter, more even skin within a four to six weeks, with continued improvement over time as treatments are completed.
Pigment can recur if not properly managed, what you do at home is just as important as what we do in clinic. Medical-grade home care helps suppress melanin production, maintain your results, and prevent future discoloration—but none of it works without consistent sun protection. In the intense Arizona heat, UV exposure is one of the biggest triggers for melasma and hyperpigmentation, even with brief daily exposure. Daily SPF is non-negotiable—it protects your investment, prevents rebound pigmentation, and is essential for maintaining clear, even-toned skin long-term.
- Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for 5–7 days
- Discontinue retinoids, exfoliants, and active ingredients 3–5 days prior
- Arrive with clean skin (no makeup, SPF, or lotions)
- Inform your provider of any recent treatments or skin sensitivity
- Expect mild redness and dryness for 2–5 days
- Light peeling or flaking may occur depending on your treatment
- Avoid heat (sauna, intense workouts) for 24–48 hours
- Strict SPF use is essential to protect and maintain your results
- Use your prescribed pigment-correcting home care consistently

ABOUT ENLIGHTEN PEEL

The Enlighten Peel is an advanced, professional-grade skin rejuvenation treatment that combines exfoliation with a customized depigmentation system. It may help reduce visible signs of sun damage, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and melasma while enhancing overall skin clarity and brightness.
This 28-day system includes an in-office peel followed by a guided at-home skincare regimen designed to encourage smoother texture and a more even tone. Because it is suitable for all skin types, including darker tones, it’s a safe alternative for individuals who may not be ideal candidates for laser treatments.
The in-office peel typically takes 20–35 minutes. After cleansing the skin, your provider applies the Enlighten Peel, which remains on your face for 8–12 hours before being rinsed off at home. You’ll receive a post-care kit and detailed instructions for continued use over the next four weeks.
Within the first two days, you may experience mild redness or swelling, followed by gentle peeling or flaking for about 1–2 weeks. This process helps lift dead skin cells and reveal new, smoother skin underneath. Most clients notice a brighter, more even-looking complexion after completing the 28-day system.
The Enlighten Peel treatment uses a combination of exfoliating and brightening agents that work together to help resurface and renew the skin. It may help reduce the look of hyperpigmentation and melasma by targeting excess pigment while promoting skin cell turnover.
By encouraging exfoliation and minimizing melanin production, the peel helps the skin appear more refined and radiant. The included at-home Enlighten Peel skin care kit continues the brightening process, supporting long-term results.
- Diminished appearance of dark spots and melasma
- Smoother, more even-looking skin tone
- Reduction in visible acne scars and discoloration
- Brighter, more radiant complexion

After your treatment, it’s essential to follow the provided aftercare routine for optimal results:
1. Continuous Depigmentation: The home-care products help maintain exfoliation and brightness.
2. Soothe & Protect: Always use sunscreen and gentle skincare to support healing.
3. Follow-Up Appointment: A follow-up visit in two weeks allows your provider to assess progress and target remaining pigmentation areas.
You may experience mild redness, tightness, or temporary sensitivity for several days. Peeling typically lasts for 5–10 days. In rare cases, minor irritation or dryness may occur. If you experience persistent discomfort, contact your provider immediately.
