Opal / Treatments / Tone and texture
Tone and texture
Dark marks after spots, uneven patches and rough texture are common in melanin-rich skin. We explain the options and go slowly.
The first visit is a consultation: we look closely at the marks, ask how long they have been there and talk about what might help.
Every skin responds differently. We cannot promise a particular result, and we will tell you honestly if a treatment is unlikely to help.
Marks that linger
After a spot, scratch or irritation, melanin-rich skin often leaves a dark mark. These usually fade with time, sun protection and gentle care. We help you protect the skin while it settles.
Patches and shadows
Some patches have causes worth checking with a doctor, so the first visit is always a consultation. Where suitable, prescription options are discussed privately in that consultation only.
Professional peels
Offered only after a consultation and a patch test, at a strength chosen for your skin, and never in the week before a big event. From ₦45,000 a session. Some people need a short course; many do not.
We do not lighten skin
Even tone means caring for marks while protecting your natural colour. We do not offer bleaching or skin lightening, and we will kindly say so if asked.

Good questions
How long do dark marks take to fade?
It varies a great deal, often months. We cannot promise a timeline. Daily sunscreen and not picking at spots make the biggest difference.
Will a peel make my skin lighter?
No. The aim is a more even surface and tone, not a lighter colour. We choose strengths that respect melanin-rich skin.
Can I get a prescription cream?
Only a doctor can decide that, after a consultation. We never sell prescription medicines over the counter.
Is there downtime?
After a light peel, skin may feel tight or flake for a few days. We give written aftercare and check in by WhatsApp.
