    Dirt and old restorations

    Accumulated environmental surface dirt and old, mismatched historical restorations.

The treatment
  1. Micro-localized correction of the dent using targeted, controlled humidification and regulated pressure.
  2. Selective chemical cleaning to safely extract surface grime and remediate old abrasion traces.
  3. Safe removal of the shifted pigments from past inaccurate touch-ups.
  4. New high-precision chromatic reintegration executed using fully reversible conservation mediums.
