Many people ask, “Is there one treatment that can brighten skin, fade dark spots, and tighten at the same time—without weeks of downtime?”Yes: The Parlour's PureYAG Radiance treatment, powered by the Candela GentleMAX Pro, does all of this in a single, non-invasive session.
Understanding Laser Skin Rejuvenation for Uneven Pigment & Dark Spots
Before choosing a treatment, it helps to know why those pesky spots form:
Common Cause | How It Creates Discoloration |
Sun Exposure / Photoaging | UV light stimulates excess melanin, leading to freckles, sun spots, and uneven tone. |
Hormonal Changes | Pregnancy, oral contraceptives, or hormonal fluctuations can trigger melasma. |
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) | Acne breakouts, eczema, or even minor cuts can leave behind dark marks as skin heals. |
Aging | As cell turnover slows, existing pigment takes longer to shed, causing dullness and mottled color. |
Lifestyle Factors | Smoking, alcohol overuse, poor diet, and lack of sleep can impair skin repair and worsen discoloration. |
Targeting the root cause is key. Lasers and professional peels address excess melanin directly while stimulating healthy turnover and collagen renewal.
Treatment Experience & Recovery
Session time: 30 minutes
Comfort: Mild warmth or “rubber band snap” feeling on areas like the forehead
Downtime: Light redness for a few hours; most clients resume makeup the next day.
Visible brightness appears quickly, while deeper collagen remodeling unfolds over 4–6 weeks.
Treatment Combinations for Maximum Results
PureYAG Radiance is powerful on its own, but pairing it with a medium-depth peel can enhance results, especially for stubborn pigment.
1. VI Peel + PureYAG Radiance
Why: The VI Peel uses a synergistic blend of TCA, retinoic acid, and antioxidants to exfoliate and lift pigment.
Ideal For: Melasma, acne scars, moderate sun damage.
Plan: Schedule the VI Peel first; after 2–3 weeks of healing, follow with PureYAG to target remaining pigment and boost collagen.
2. Perfect Derma Peel + PureYAG Radiance
Why: Combines TCA, retinoic acid, kojic acid, and glutathione for deep brightening and antioxidant repair.
Ideal For: Darker spots, stubborn PIH, and overall texture improvement.
Plan: Same sequence as above, or alternate quarterly for ongoing tone correction.
3. Tri-Phase Combo for Advanced Rejuvenation
Step 1: Medium-depth peel (VI or Perfect Derma)
Step 2: PureYAG Radiance four weeks later
Step 3: Microneedling with PDRN texture and extra collagen stimulation.

FAQs
“How many sessions will I need for dark spots?” Many notice improvement after one treatment; stubborn pigment may need 3 sessions plus a peel.
“Can PureYAG be combined with chemical peels?” Yes—pairing with VI or Perfect Derma Peel often yields faster, more even results.
“How soon after a peel can I have PureYAG?” Typically 2 weeks, once the skin has fully healed.
"Can I do the PureYAG on the same day as a facial?" Yes! In fact, we encourage jumpstarting your laser skin rejuvenation journey with our Something To YAG About facial, which combines our deep cleansing Fire & Ice Signature Facial with the PureYAG treatment. Thoroughly cleansing the skin and doing deep extractions beforehand yield greater benefits from the PureYAG as it helps the skin absorb the laser's energy more effectively. Add-on dermaplaning for greater exfoliation and a boosted glow!
After-Care Tips for Bright, Even Skin
Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every day (non-negotiable).
Cleanse with a gentle moisturizer to support barrier recovery. We recommend our medical grade Tea Time Green Tea cleanser, a creamy cleanser
Avoid tanning, harsh scrubs, or retinoids for at least 5 days post-treatment.
Consider a daily antioxidant serum (vitamin C or ferulic acid) to protect your investment.
