Pigmentation concerns like melasma can be frustrating, especially when they linger despite consistent skincare. Alyssa, our licensed medical aesthetician at our medspa, uses the Enlighten Peel to help gradually lift discoloration and restore a clearer, more even tone. As part of the Beverly Friedlander MD practice in Short Hills, New Jersey, this treatment is recommended for people who want meaningful improvement without laser therapy.
Because it is one of the most intensive pigment-targeting peels available within our skin rejuvenation suite, Enlighten Peel can address discoloration that has resisted other treatments.

What Is the Enlighten Peel?
The Enlighten Peel is a prescription-strength depigmentation treatment designed to improve melasma, sun damage, and uneven tone. It uses a combination of retinol, hydroquinone, and brightening agents applied as a leave-on mask. The mask remains on the skin for 8–12 hours before being washed off, and a structured home routine continues the correction process.
This multi-phase approach helps reduce pigment formation while evening the overall complexion.
What the Enlighten Peel Helps Improve
This peel is well-suited for:
- Melasma
- Dark patches and uneven tone
- Sun-induced pigmentation
- Post-inflammatory marks
- Dull or uneven complexion
- Early textural changes
Because the formula is designed for a variety of skin types, it is safe and effective across a broad range of tones.
Your Enlighten Peel Experience
Alyssa applies the mask evenly to the treatment area and reviews the at-home instructions essential for best results. She will also explain what to expect each day after treatment. Peeling and redness can develop over the following days, along with flaking that lasts about a week. This is a normal part of the renewal process. Continued home care supports pigment correction and helps maintain a more even-toned complexion.
Most people notice visible brightening within the first several weeks, with continued improvement as the skin completes its regeneration cycle.
Why Choose Our Medspa?
Pigmentation concerns require a thoughtful, experienced approach. Alyssa understands the difference between surface discoloration and deeper pigment conditions like melasma, allowing her to select the right peel strength and create a structured home plan that supports long-lasting results.
These treatments take place within the Beverly Friedlander MD practice, overseen by Dr. Bev, a board-certified plastic surgeon with expertise in skin aging and aesthetic medicine. Her involvement ensures each peel is part of a safe, strategic approach rather than a one-size-fits-all treatment.
