Acne Facial
Clear Complexion Facial is beginning to revolutionize the treatment of acne, blackheads, whiteheads, hormonal acne, clogged pores, and large pores to help maintain and achieve beautifully clear skin. Treatment of acne is extremely varied from patient to patient. Sun exposure is known to have a beneficial effect on giving acne patients clear skin but at the same time there is the chance of hypo-pigmentation or hyper-pigmentation. We use a visible IPL (Intense Pulse Light) treatment through a mechanism similar to that of sunlight therapy with out the side effects of hyper-pigmentation or hypo-pigmentation giving you the clear skin you have always desired.
