Skin damaged by the sun looks different from skin showing the normal effects of aging. The skin can develop fine and coarse wrinkles, become rough, loose, or mottled with dark spots (sometimes called age spots or liver spots) and discoloured patches. Broken blood vessels are another common effect. If you would like to turn back the effects of what the sun has done to your skin, we have treatments that can help, as well as a line of comprehensive homecare products. Book a consultation today to find out which treatment is right for you.
Sample treatments:
Melanin Peel – excellent for reducing dark or age spots, and especially if you suffer from melasma. $350 per treatment. Series of 4 for $1250. Price includes an at-home kit.
Light Chemical Peels – Hydroxy Acids act to dissolve oil, the inter cellular cement that bond cells to the skin’s surface causing a thickening of the epidermis. Dead skin cell build up is associated with hyper pigmentation, acne, fine lines and dehydration. These peels exfoliate, dissolves impacted oil, reduces fine lines and increases cellular renewal. Glycolic, Salicylic or Lactic Acids. $90 per treatment
