MELASMA
Melasma is hyperpigmentation of the skin that occurs mainly on the face. The affected area looks like dark, discoloured patches and is most often related to hormonal changes in the body like pregnancy and menopause. The condition is referred to as the pregnancy mask. Unfortunately after pregnancy and other hormonal changes melasma can remain and can become worse from sun exposure. At a glance the darker patches of skin can be mistaken for sun damage but it’s not the same, in fact some treatments used for sun damage can actually make the condition worse. That is why it’s important to choose a skincare expert that has extensive experience with treating melasma and knows how to correctly and effectively treat the condition. We have many treatment options to fit your skin type, condition, budget and preferences. Contact us and we’ll recommend your best treatment option for optimal results and develop a customized treatment plan made for your skin.

It’s a preventative treatment that stimulates collagen, decreases fine lines and wrinkles, minimizes pores, enhances tone, evens out irregular pigmentation and repairs sun damaged skin. The treatment enhances skin permeability by forming non-ablative.. or non-open wounds on the skin to allow penetration of anti-aging products and skin stimulation. It’s an ideal treatment to start in your 20’s and 30’s to maintain healthy skin, especially if there is sun damage. It’s also a maintenance treatment at any age after more aggressive laser treatments. The skin may be pink for a day. Make-up can be applied, and most clients return to their regular activities immediately. A few days after the treatment, your skin will start to feel softer and look brighter. With successive treatments, the results will become more greater. The results can last for months, depending on your age, skin condition, sun protection, and home care regimen. Maintenance treatments can be done every month or so, depending on your needs. This is also a perfect treatment to prepare special events.
+ Dermapen™ Microneedling
Dermapen™ Microneedling technology is used to improve the skin’s texture and tone, reduce surface scarring and minimize the appearance of fine wrinkles. The Dermapen™ is a small, hand-held device that delivers up to 1,300 micro-punctures per second, stimulates your skin’s natural ability to heal itself, and in the process produces collagen and elastin. The added benefit of micro needling is that these superficial micro-channels facilitate the absorption of topically applied products such as hyaluraonic acid (HA) and Redensity I dermal filler.
+ Fotona 2D
Fotona’s 4D treatment can be broken down if you are not looking for all elements to be targeted.
If your goal is strictly skin tightening and collagen induction your Fotona 2D treatment would include:
1 – SmoothLiftn INTRAORAL
The first step involves a pain free, non-invasive treatment that heats the skin intraorally which targets volume through the process of collagen induction. The effects are overall improvement of tightness and elasticity of the skin along with a plumping effect, much like filler.
2 – PIANO
The second stage of your Fotona 2D involves heating the skin safely and rapidly from the outside in by concentrating energy delivery from the outside in by concentrating energy delivery subcutaneously. This is done using a brushing technique and provides an outstanding tightening effect for the for the areas experiencing skin laxity.
If your skin concerns centre more around fine lines, skin tone, pores and resurfacing to brighten your complexion your Fotona 2D treatment would include:
1 – FRAC3
The first step involves the targeted treatment of specific, deeper imperfections in the skin like brown spots and vascular components using a fractional laser. This is fast, effective and will help restore youthful texture.
2 – SupErficial LASER PEEL
The final stage is the polishing effect for your skin. The treatment removes dead skin cells by gently vaporizing micron-thin layers of the epidermis while thermally effecting deeper skin layers to stimulate the production of new collagen in the dermis. This produces a brighter and healthier tissue which provides that noticeable glow to your skin.
What to expect?
Each person is different but you can expect minimal to no discomfort during the treatment. Immediately following the treatment, you may experience some redness or mild swelling that will diminish over a few hours. Most clients can resume their daily activities immediately following the treatment.
