February 01, 2022 05:00 - 6 minutes - 8.4 MB

Microneedling can stimulate the skin's natural ability to produce new collagen and elastin for healthier, younger-looking skin. It accelerates this repair process by creating microscopic channels, which also allow products to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin. Microneedling is extremely versatile and can be used on all parts of the body: face, neck, decollete, arms, hands, legs, abdomen and back. This versatility makes microneedling especially helpful when addressing acne scars ...

28. Chemical Peel

January 18, 2022 05:00 - 4 minutes - 6.27 MB

A chemical peel uses a solution applied to the skin to remove layers of the skin and stimulate the production of new skin cells. It tightens the skin, reduces wrinkles and pigmentation (brown spots), helps control acne and leaves your complexion with a healthy glow. The depth of the peel recommended will depend on your skin type and desired result. Still have questions? Email us at [email protected]

Skin wrinkles or furrows, such as on the forehead or around the eyes, are caused by the underlying muscles.
