Pigmentation

About the Condition

Uneven skin tone, dark spots, and discolouration can be caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, aging, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Our advanced pigmentation treatments use state-of-the-art IPL technology to target and break down excess melanin, helping to restore a clearer, more even complexion. Whether you’re dealing with sunspots, melasma, or age spots, our customized approach effectively reduces pigmentation while improving overall skin health.

THE BENEFITS:

  • Reduces Dark Spots & Hyperpigmentation
    Targets areas of excess melanin, fading sunspots, age spots, and uneven skin tone for a more uniform complexion.
  • Improves Skin Clarity & Brightness
    Helps eliminate discolouration, restoring a natural glow and even skin tone.
  • Minimizes the Appearance of Melasma
    Effectively treats hormonally induced pigmentation with gentle, controlled laser and IPL technology.
  • Fades Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation

  • Stimulates Collagen & Skin Renewal

    Unlike aggressive peels or harsh treatments, laser-based pigmentation removal is gentle on the skin with little to no recovery time.
  • Suitable for Various Skin Types
    Our advanced technology allows for customized treatment, making it safe for different skin tones and concerns.

How it Works?

Using a combination of IPL, the treatment delivers controlled light and thermal energy to break down excess melanin, reduce pigmentation, and stimulate collagen production. Over time, the skin naturally eliminates these pigmented cells, revealing a brighter and more even complexion.

What to Expect?

Side Effects:
Mild redness, slight swelling, or a warm sensation may occur post-treatment but typically resolves within a few hours to a couple of days. Some patients may notice temporary darkening of treated spots before they naturally fade.

After Treatment Care:

  • Apply broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily to protect your skin from further pigmentation.
  • Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 1–2 weeks post-treatment.
  • Keep skin hydrated with a gentle moisturizer.
  • Refrain from exfoliants or active skincare ingredients (like retinol and AHAs) for a few days post-treatment.
  • Follow your provider’s recommendations for the best results.

Your Answers to Our Most Popular Questions

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients see visible improvements after 1–2 sessions, but a series of 3–5 treatments may be recommended for stubborn pigmentation.

Is the treatment painful?

The sensation is often described as a warm, tingling feeling. A cooling system helps keep the treatment comfortable, and numbing cream can be applied if needed.

When will I see results?

Some improvement can be seen within a few days to a week, with continued fading over the next several weeks as the skin regenerates.

Can pigmentation return after treatment?

While the treatment effectively reduces existing pigmentation, new pigmentation can develop from sun exposure or hormonal changes. Consistent sun protection and skincare help maintain long-term results.

Reviews From Our Happy Clients

“The Oxygen facial itself was nothing short of amazing. Denisha was thorough, ensuring every step of the process was carefully explained, and she tailored the treatment to my specific skin needs..”

I recently had the pleasure of receiving an Oxygen facial, and I cannot express enough how impressed I was with the outstanding customer service and professionalism throughout the entire experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by Christina with warmth and attentiveness, which made me feel incredibly welcome.

 

Overall, the experience was exceptional. The combination of top-notch service, professionalism, and an incredible facial treatment has left me with glowing skin and a lasting impression. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a truly rejuvenating experience.

“Finally I did an oxygenio facial with Rabiie. It was great for my skin after a couple months in the summer and left me looking fresh and rejuvenated..”

I just did my first Russian manicure with Anastasiya and all I can say is WOW. I’ve been doing shellac manicures for years now and it has almost become a burden to schedule it every 2 weeks because the shellac always peels and looks grown out after about a week. My manicure with Anastasiya was impeccable. She spent her time making sure my cuticles were impeccable and then took her time doing the shellac. I’ve never had a more perfect manicure. It’s been a few weeks now and it still looks great! It takes a little bit longer (1.5 hours) but totally worth the time and money if I only have to go every month or so.

 

All in all, a great couple of hours spent pampering myself at this spa. The space is gorgeous and makes it easy to relax (something I rarely get as a mom of 3).

 

Highly recommend!

“Definitely now my go-to recommendation for nails! Had a pedicure with Binoda and she was absolutely amazing.”

On the pricier side for a pedicure (expected for Liberty Village of course), but worth every penny as someone who works 10+ hours on their feet everyday and hasn’t gotten anywhere close to this type of treatment at your typical nail salon.

 

Customer service is also amazing, a woman came in during my treatment and I happened to overhear the conversation. She was very rude and confrontational right from the start, the employee at the desk handled the entire interaction a heck of a lot better than I would’ve if I were her.
10/10 overall!

“If you’ve never tried it, it’s worth every penny and you won’t understand the difference until you try it. ”

CURES Beaute is by far the best nail place I’ve been to in Toronto!! Being originally from New York City and having tried a lot of nail places in my lifetime, I would say I’m pretty picky. Anastasia is the absolutely best and gave me my first life-changing Russian manicure, and I now go back regularly for one

 

She has a level of detail and precision like no other technician I’ve been to, her care is top notch, she’s kind, and I leave with the most impeccable nails!! The way she cuts your cuticles prevents that annoying thing that happens with a gel manicure where you start to have a space between the cuticle and nail color as your nails grow. If Anastasia isn’t available, Emilie is also very good and sweet! Customer service from both is 10/10!

- Erin Switzer

“The level of care and detail she put into my manicure was out of this world, she also shaped and painted my nails beautifully.”

Wow – Not to be dramatic but I got my nails done by Disha, and she gave me hands down the BEST manicure of my entire life. Not kidding.

 

She really listened to what I was asking for, and, gave great advice as well. If that’s not enough she was also so kind and lovely as well. CURES overall was a great experience – super cleanly, super professional. Top level experience for an appropriate price. Never thought I’d “have a nail place”, but I will only be going to CURES moving forward, and asking for Disha every time!
