    INTENSE PULSED LIGHT

    Intense Pulsed Light targets the blood vessels and pigmentation that cause rosacea symptoms. The light penetrates skin and is absorbed by dilated blood vessels, causing them to shrink and fade. We typically recommend 4-6 sessions for optimal results with minimal downtime.

What is ACNE?

overview

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and sometimes bacteria. It often appears on the face, chest, shoulders, and back—areas with many oil glands.

symptoms

The main types of acne lesions include blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules (pimples), nodules, and cysts. Hormonal changes (especially during puberty, menstruation, or pregnancy), stress, certain medications, and genetics can all contribute to its development.
