Treatment
To start off we recommend a Skin Analysis. This allows us to see what is going on within the different skin layers. From our findings we are able to draw up the best treatment plan indicated to treat your skin condition.
We always recommend a combination of products and treatments over a period of time to ensure the best possible results.
Products such as Lamelle and Collagen are great when combined with treatments such as Dermapen and Chemical Peels for treating acne.
