Lucente® is an all-new treatment for hyperpigmentation from BioSkin Aesthetics that L+A’s Jenni Nagle tried to treat aggressive melasma on her forehead and a large spot on her cheek. Lucente® is an innovative brightening solution, consisting of an in-clinic treatment and home cream.
BioSkin Aesthetics says, “Lucente® is a radical new product designed specifically for the treatment of Melasma, PIH, and similar forms of dynamic pigmentation.”
Thanks to BioSkin Aesthetics for sponsoring this content so that L+A could showcase Jenni Nagle’s results of Lucente® with the L+A Community.
Jenni Nagle, “Lucente’s® Delayed Gratification Is Worth The Wait!”
L+A’s Jenni Nagle on her experience with Lucente®, “Make sure you take before and after pics – you will not believe the difference!
I kicked off a treatment series in April 2024, and was so focused on treating the aggressive melasma on my forehead and the spot on my cheek, that it was hard to appreciate the overall brightening that was taking place!
Working closely with the team at BioSkin Aesthetics, we created a protocol to address the pigmentation issues. I completed 4 Lucente® professional treatments, and was totally compliant in using the home care cream!
One pump of the home care cream twice per day goes a long way. I focused the cream on the areas of concern, and then spread the remainder evenly over my face. The cream has a very potent smell, as there are no added fragrances. You will get used to this, and after seeing the progress pictures, it is worth it!”
Jenni Nagle’s BioSkin Aesthetics Treatment Series of Lucente® + BioRePeelCl3
Jenni Nagle performed a series of four Lucente® treatments and used the home care both AM and PM ongoing since April 2024. BioSkin Aesthetics suggested a customized protocol for Jenni that began by prepping the skin with a BioRePeelCl3 application.
Lucente® can be customized as a treatment with a BioRePeelCl3 application prior to the Lucente® service depending on the clients’ skin.
Lucente® must be either microchanneled or microneedled into the skin.

The Four Ways Lucente® Treats Hyperpigmentation
1. Lucente® Inhibits Melanin Formation
Lucente® treatments aim to reduce the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots, by targeting the melanin-producing cells (melanocytes). By using the Lucente® Mesotherapy Serum during microneedling sessions, the treatment helps to inhibit the enzymes and chemical signals that stimulate excessive melanin production. This reduces the overall amount of melanin being produced, preventing new hyperpigmented spots from forming.
2. Lucente® Inhibits / Destroys Melanosome Formation
The Lucente® protocol specifically targets melanosomes, the structures within melanocytes where melanin is produced. The microneedling process, combined with the active ingredients in the Lucente® Mesotherapy Serum, disrupts the formation and maturation of melanosomes. By inhibiting or destroying these structures, the treatment prevents the accumulation and transfer of melanin to the skin cells, thereby reducing existing hyperpigmentation and preventing new spots from developing.
3. Lucente® Exfoliates Pigmented Keratinocytes
Regular exfoliation is a key component of the Lucente® home care routine. The use of a gentle cleanser and the Lucente® Home Care Cream helps to remove pigmented keratinocytes (the outermost skin cells that contain melanin). This process promotes the turnover of skin cells, allowing for the removal of dark spots and the emergence of a more even skin tone. The microneedling sessions further enhance this exfoliation process by creating microchannels that facilitate the penetration of active ingredients, promoting skin renewal.
4. Stabilize Melanocyte Activity via Rich Antioxidants
Lucente® products are rich in antioxidants, which play a crucial role in stabilizing melanocyte activity. Antioxidants help to neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress, which can otherwise trigger excessive melanin production. By incorporating antioxidants into the treatment regimen, Lucente® helps to maintain a balanced and controlled activity of melanocytes, reducing the likelihood of hyperpigmentation reoccurring. The consistent use of SPF 30-50+ also protects the skin from UV-induced oxidative damage, further supporting the stabilization of melanocyte activity.
In summary, the Lucente® Treatment Protocol effectively addresses hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin formation, targeting melanosome production, exfoliating pigmented keratinocytes, and stabilizing melanocyte activity through the use of rich antioxidants. This comprehensive approach ensures both the reduction of existing dark spots and the prevention of new ones, promoting a clearer and more even skin tone.
