Acne
Caused by blocked pores, acne can be caused by oil production, hormones, and bacteria, amongst other factors. Rupturing acne can also spread acne and cause inflammation, which may even lead to cysts and deep acne scarring. READ MORE
Acne Scars
Acne can leave lasting scars to the epidermis and dermis. Damage to these layers can provoke the body’s healing response and cause new collagen and elastin to form that do not match the existing skin, causing irregularities in both the color and the texture of the skin. READ MORE
Age Spots
Age spots are caused by sun damage, which leads to the excess production of melanin in the affected skin. Also known as brown spots or hyperpigmentation, these blemishes can be cosmetically unappealing, especially when they occur in a high visibility area, such as the face or hands. READ MORE
Cellulite
Cellulite occurs when fat cells become engorged and irregular, and the fibrous bands that attach the epidermis to the sub-dermal layers of the skin become warped and begin to pull on the surface of the skin. This causes the fat to bulge up through the fibrous bands, causing the dimpling and bulging that is common to cellulite. READ MORE

Scars
Scars are formed when trauma to the skin provokes a healing response in the form of a fibrous tissue that does not match the color or texture of the original skin. The deeper the layer of skin that is damaged, the more significant the scar will be. READ MORE
Spider Veins
