Combination of microdermabrasion + IPL
Microdermabrasion is an invasive treatment used to renew overall skin tone and texture. It can improve the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scarring, melasma, and other skin-related concerns and conditions.
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. This process uses pulses of concentrated light to clear: Sun damage, Sunspots. IPL treatments can also help to smooth uneven skin texture, close large pores, and eliminate wrinkles by stimulating collagen growth. IPL works deep in the skin to combat uneven skin color and eliminate broken capillaries, while stimulating new collagen formation.
Combination of these two treatments gives the best results. Microdermabrasion removes dead skin cells and allows better penetration of the IPL light source – at the same time improving skin texture and smoothing any surface skin irregularities such as acne scarring.
Results vary from person to person and are not guaranteed. Nothing here is medical advice — book a consultation and we will look at your case.
