Acne
Treatment: Laser/IPL, MicrodermabrasionThe laser light attacks the bacteria that create painful lesion, thereby reducing inflammation and drying out the sebaceous glands. This treatment is suitable for all types of acne, unless the individual is taking the drug Roaccutane. One treatment every 3 months is recommended for optimum results. Microdermabrasion is also used to treat Acne Scarring, either on it's own or in combination with IPL treatment. Price £150 for cheeks and nose, £250 for full face Glycolic peels (light peel) The application of a glycolic peel (70% or 90%) can produce excellent results for the following skin condions:
The treatment process removes the upper dead layer of the skin - the stratum corneum. A solution of glycolic acid is applied to the skin (Glycolic acid is derived from sugar cane and is a natural product) and left for 3-10 minutes, before being washed off and a neutralising solution applied. There will be a slight pinkness to the skin, most people return to a normal skin colour that same day. There really is no recovery period.
It is particularly effective when used in conjunction with IPL skin rejuvenation. Price £60 for one or £300 for 6.
