​Even though the weather isn't changing quite yet, now is a great time to hit the reset button on your skin right before school starts with our IPL/Chemical Peel Special. Cumulative sun exposure and summer damage can cause sun spots, rough texture, tiny blood vessels and make fine lines more obvious. Choose the best fit for you or come in for a complimentary consultation and let our skin experts recommend a treatment plan. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a treatment that targets surface level pigment that occurs as a result of sun exposure like freckles and sun spots. Although melasma also appears as dark pigment and is related to sun/heat, the pigment is too deep for IPL to target. In fact, IPL can cause a temporary worsening of melasma, though the darkening typically resolves in a few days. Chemical Peels can help with sun spots, but where they really shine is hyperpigmentation (skin darkening) related to inflammation, like acne and dry skin. Having a Chemical Peel after IPL can boost the IPL results and get any post inflammatory pigment that the IPL can't.
