Your journey begins with a private consultation with Dr. Song or one of our expert nurses. This visit is focused on understanding what changes you'd like to see and whether Cyspera is the right solution for your concerns.
During your consultation, your provider will:
- Examine your skin under bright lighting

- Explain how Cyspera works and what to expect
- Create a personalized application schedule
Together, you'll create a treatment plan tailored to your skin type, schedule, and desired outcomes.
The Cyspera Procedure
No anesthesia is required. You will learn the correct application technique in-office to ensure optimal absorption and comfort.
During the procedure:
- Your skin is left unwashed for at least one hour
- A thin layer of Cyspera is applied to targeted areas
- Product remains on the skin for 15 minutes
- Cyspera is removed with a gentle cleanser and the skin is moisturized
You will receive written instructions and product samples so you can reproduce the process confidently at home.

Cyspera Results and Safety Considerations
Understanding how skin biology, application technique, and ongoing care influence Cyspera results can help you set realistic expectations and feel confident in your decision.
Achieving Natural-Looking Results
Because Cyspera regulates melanin production rather than bleaching the skin, improvements appear soft and natural. The gradual fading process allows surrounding skin to lighten at a similar pace, preventing the patchy look some lightening agents create.
Results depend on the depth of pigmentation, consistency with application, and diligent sun protection. Our team provides detailed guidance so each patient achieves a balanced complexion that still looks authentically theirs.
Where Are the Incisions?
Cyspera is a topical product and involves no incisions or injections.
No incisions required
As a non-invasive treatment, there is no surgical scarring associated with Cyspera.
Is Scarring a Concern?
Scarring is not a concern with topical treatments like Cyspera. Mild redness or dryness may occur initially but typically resolves quickly with moisturization.
Skin Adjustment Timeline
Minor skin responses settle quickly:
- Days 1-3
Possible warmth, tingling, or slight pinkness - Week 1
Skin begins adjusting; redness diminishes - Weeks 2-4
Hydration and barrier support optimize comfort
Following our recommended moisturizing and sunscreen regimen helps ensure the skin barrier remains healthy throughout treatment.

Cyspera is generally safe when used as directed, but it’s important to be aware of potential side effects and how to minimize them.
Potential risks may include:

- Allergic reaction in rare cases

Dr. Song performed my breast implant surgery nearly 10 yrs ago with the ideal breast implant. I've had no issues in this time. I live on the other side of the country now, but I would've loved to come back for removal, since I'm on an all natural journey. I hope to find someone who can take care of me, keep me safe, & assured during & after surgery as Dr. Song & his staff did.

Thank you Dr. Song. I’m 10 days post opp and am so happy with my experience with my mommy makeover! I can’t tell you how comfortable Dr. Song and his staff made me feel throughout this whole process. Surgery is a bit of a scary decision and sometimes I agonized about for years but I can promise you are in the best care with this team. I highly highly recommend them and am already so happy with my results !
