Achieve radiant, even skin with brightening facials in Montreal & Laval.
At New Age Spa, our Brightening Facial treatments are designed for clients who want to visibly lighten dark spots, correct uneven skin tone, and restore their skin's natural luminosity. Whether you're dealing with sun damage, post-acne hyperpigmentation, melasma, or simply dull and uneven complexion, our estheticians build a customized brightening protocol around your specific skin type and goals. Treatments range from chemical exfoliation and Hydra Dermabrasion to photofacial therapy — giving you access to the most effective skin lightening and brightening modalities available at our clinics across Montreal, Laval, Saint-Léonard, and Dollard-des-Ormeaux.
Common skin concerns we treat.
Our brightening facials are specifically designed to address the most common pigmentation and skin tone concerns — each treated with the most appropriate brightening technique for your skin type and condition.
What's included in a brightening facial?
Every brightening facial begins with a detailed skin evaluation. Our certified estheticians assess your skin tone, pigmentation concerns, sensitivity level, and medical history to build the most effective and safe brightening protocol for your individual needs.
Thorough double cleansing removes makeup, sunscreen, excess oils, and surface impurities — preparing the skin for optimal absorption of brightening actives and ensuring even, consistent product penetration throughout the treatment.
Gentle steam opens the pores and softens the skin's surface, while targeted exfoliation — either mechanical or chemical — removes the layer of dead cells dulling your complexion. This step is critical for accelerating the skin's renewal cycle and amplifying the brightening effect of subsequent treatment steps.
Based on your skin assessment, your esthetician applies the most effective brightening modality or combination: Hydra Dermabrasion for concurrent exfoliation and hydration, a chemical peel (glycolic, mandelic, or kojic acid-based) for deep pigmentation correction, or photofacial therapy to target melanin and vascular discoloration at the source.
The session concludes with the application of targeted brightening serums, toner, a nourishing moisturizer, and broad-spectrum SPF to protect freshly treated, photosensitive skin. Your esthetician will also provide a personalized homecare plan to maintain and extend your brightening results between sessions.
Our signature brightening treatments.
Each treatment can be used standalone or combined as part of a multi-modality brightening protocol — designed by our estheticians to deliver the most effective skin lightening and evening results for your specific concerns.
Simultaneously exfoliates and infuses brightening actives deep into the skin using the BELA MD+ device platform. Removes dead cells, reduces surface pigmentation, and hydrates — delivering an immediate improvement in skin clarity, luminosity, and tone with zero downtime.
Explore treatmentHigh in antioxidants to neutralize the free radicals responsible for uneven pigmentation and dull skin. The hydrogel jelly mask deeply hydrates, calms post-treatment sensitivity, and enhances the brightening effect of any preceding exfoliation step. Ideal for sensitive skin types including rosacea and reactive skin.
Explore treatmentA gentle cleansing, exfoliation, and brightening treatment combined with an invigorating facial massage to boost lymphatic drainage and circulation — key factors in achieving a naturally luminous, even complexion. An excellent brightening entry point for sensitive or first-time clients.
Explore treatmentDeeper results with chemical peels and laser treatments.
For clients with more persistent or significant hyperpigmentation, dark spots, melasma, or sun damage, our brightening facials can be combined with — or upgraded to — more intensive skin lightening treatments. Chemical peels and laser therapies are our most powerful tools for achieving dramatic, lasting tone correction across Montreal, Laval, Saint-Léonard, and DDO.
Our glycolic, mandelic, lactic, and kojic acid peels penetrate deep into the epidermis to break down excess melanin deposits and accelerate cell turnover. Progressive peel series — spaced 4–6 weeks apart — are the most effective in-clinic approach for lightening post-acne marks, sun spots, and persistent discoloration. Results are cumulative and dramatically improve over a series of 3–6 sessions.
Our Pico laser (PicoSure) and Candela laser platforms target melanin-rich pigmentation at the dermal level — breaking up dark spots, sun damage, and deep discoloration that surface peels cannot fully address. Laser treatments are particularly effective for stubborn spots that have not responded to topical or peel-based approaches, delivering targeted precision correction with minimal surrounding tissue impact.
Physical resurfacing using diamond-tip technology to mechanically exfoliate the outer skin layer and remove the dead cells contributing to dull, uneven tone. An excellent maintenance treatment between deeper peel or laser sessions — keeping the skin's renewal cycle active and brightening results sustained over time.
Key benefits of brightening facials.
Whether you're looking for a gentle glow-up or a more intensive lightening protocol, our brightening treatments are built to deliver visible, lasting improvements in skin tone, clarity, and texture.
Targeted brightening actives and exfoliation fade age spots, sun spots, and UV-induced discoloration — reversing years of accumulated sun damage and restoring a more youthful, even complexion over a series of treatments.
By addressing excess melanin production and accelerating skin cell turnover, brightening facials visibly minimize hyperpigmentation, discoloration, and blotchiness — delivering a more uniform, balanced complexion across all skin tones.
Removing the layer of dead, pigmented cells that dull the skin's surface immediately reveals a brighter, more luminous complexion underneath. The glow effect is noticeable after a single session and improves progressively with each visit.
Exfoliation and deep hydration soften rough, uneven skin texture — reducing the appearance of enlarged pores and giving the skin a smoother, more refined feel and appearance that reflects light more evenly.
No two brightening protocols are the same. Every facial is designed around your unique skin tone, concern level, and treatment history — ensuring the safest and most effective approach whether you're a first-time client or maintaining long-term results.
Brightening facials amplify the results of complementary treatments like microneedling, laser pigmentation correction, and chemical peels. Our estheticians can build a multi-modality plan that compounds brightening results across every session.
Who is the brightening facial for?
For clients dealing with diffuse pigmentation, melasma patches, or hormonally triggered discoloration, our brightening facials — particularly chemical peel series and laser dark spot treatments — are the most targeted in-clinic approach to achieving lasting tone correction.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) left behind after acne breakouts responds exceptionally well to brightening treatments. Chemical peels and Hydra Dermabrasion accelerate the fading of dark marks while improving overall skin tone uniformity.
Accumulated sun exposure leaves visible age spots, uneven freckles, and a dulled complexion over time. Brightening facials — with or without laser pigmentation correction — reverse the visible effects of UV damage and restore a clearer, more youthful skin appearance.
Even without specific dark spots, skin can appear flat and tired due to dead cell buildup, lifestyle stress, or slow cell turnover. Brightening facials immediately remove that dull surface layer and restore the luminous glow characteristic of healthy, well-renewed skin.
For clients with a specific goal of achieving a lighter, more uniform skin tone overall — whether for aesthetic preference, to address uneven areas, or to correct discoloration in specific body zones — our advanced brightening protocols provide a safe, clinically effective path to those results.
Our brightening facial menu includes gentle, non-irritating options like the Soothing Jelly Treatment and European Hydrating Facial specifically designed for sensitive, rosacea-prone, or reactive skin. Effective brightening doesn't require harsh treatments — our gentler approaches still deliver meaningful improvement over time.
