PHOTOFACIAL
Fall in love with your skin again
Photofacial treatments can dramatically improve the appearance of your skin discoloration. It’s commonly used for treating; sun spots, age spots, spider veins, rosacea, and capillaries. We use our ICON system’s photo rejuvenation technology, which delivers gentle pulses of intense, optimised light to regions of unwanted pigmentation and facial vessels.
Treatment time can be as short as 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Our clients have achieved excellent results with just 1 or 2 treatments, but for best results several treatments may be required.
