If the eyes are a window to the soul, the skin around them is a dead giveaway to your age. A crinkle around the eyes may be charming when you think of your grandmother, but for the rest of us, eye wrinkles, dark circles and puffy eyes are a no-go.

Find out what causes the most common signs of eye aging and learn which cosmetic eye rejuvenation treatments are best for keeping your eyes looking youthful.

The real reason your eye area is starting to look older

Eye Rejuvenation Treatments

Age-related skin changes around the eyes are caused by a host of factors. Gravity pulls skin and muscles downward over time, resulting in an aged appearance. As the skin sags, it causes you to look tired, even if you had a full night of sleep.

Creases also form as your skin starts producing less elastin, a protein that is essential for keeping skin flexible so that it can “bounce back” into place after you make facial expressions.

Collagen also decreases beginning around age 30. Collagen is like concrete in a brick wall – It holds your cells (the bricks) together and gives your skin structure. Less collagen means weaker skin that is more prone to sagging, wrinkles, and other cosmetic problems.

You may have noticed that the eye area has particularly delicate, thin skin compared to the rest of the skin on your face. Because of this, it is often one of the first areas of the face that you will start to notice signs of aging.

Do you have any of these cosmetic concerns around your eyes?

Aging eyes are no fun for anyone. They can give you a rundown appearance and leave you looking haggard. They can make you look older than you are and appear tired, even if you got a full night of sleep.

Let’s face it: Whether you are walking into the boardroom or a party with friends, your appearance matters. That is why many women and men around the world choose to have cosmetic eye rejuvenation.

Dark circles

Dark circles are a common problem among men and women. The older you get, the worse they tend to look. When you see dark under eye circles, what you are really seeing is pooling in blood vessels under the eyes.

What do dark circles look like?

Dark circles can be a wide range of colors. The color of the circles really comes down to your skin tone. On cool skin tones, they tend to look purple or blue. On warmer skin tones, they can appear olive, purple or dark brown, and on dark skin tones, the circles may look purple to dark brown or black. Sometimes they are accompanied by bags under the eyes.

What causes dark circles under the eyes?

Dark circles are often blamed on lack of sleep. Allergies are another possible cause. Aging is another big factor. The skin under your eyes gets thinner with age. That allows the blood vessels to be more readily visible than they were in youth. Genetics also play a role in periorbital dark circles. It can run in families, and may even be linked to ethnicity.

Are dark circles harmful?

Dark circles are usually not a cause for concern, unless they are present due to lifestyle factors like poor sleep habits, alcohol consumption or poor diet. Some people just seem to get them no matter how healthy they may be

Treatments for dark circles

While dark circles are usually harmless, many people want to get rid of them for cosmetic reasons. There are home remedies such as cucumbers, warm compresses and cold spoons. It may be beneficial to sleep with your head slightly elevated to reduce blood pooling under your eyes while you sleep.

Dark circles are hard to fight. Many patients find little help from home remedies. While they can help manage dark circles to a degree, more advanced cosmetic treatments may be needed. Another reason people seek treatment is because it is very difficult to cover dark circles with makeup.

Eye rejuvenation treatments for dark circles are very effective. We will discuss fillers to correct dark circles in the next section.

Puffy Eyes

Swollen eyes or puffy eyes can happen to both men and women. Luckily, there is something you can do about it.

What do puffy eyes look like?

Bags under the eyes can appear worse with age. Some people may notice there eyes are slightly puffy in the morning. You can thank gravity for that. As you lay down, any water retained in the eye area can start to gather and cause swelling under the eyes. As you get moving and start your day, under eye puffiness decreases, again with the help of gravity.

Other people may have more severe puffy eyes. Bulging skin under the eyes indicates a fluid buildup. If under eye bulging is persistent, you may need eye rejuvenation treatments.

What causes puffy eyes?

If you have puffy eyes, your first stop should be to your primary care doctor or opthamologist to rule out medical causes. Puffy eyes can sometimes result from allergies, infection, injury, and other factors. But today, we are going to discuss the age-related cause of puffy eyes. As you age, the skin around the eyes becomes thinner. That means there is less skin to cover up fluid retention under the eyes.

Puffy eyes home remedies and cosmetic treatments

Home remedies for puffy eyes are plentiful. The goal is to reduce swelling under the eyes. A cold spoon in the morning may help alleviate some of the puffiness. Warm compresses may also help. Benadryl can help if the root cause is allergies. For puffy eyes or bulging skin under the eyes caused by aging, eye rejuvenation treatments may improve the condition. We’ll cover those in the next section.

Sagging skin around the eyes

This can happen both above and below the eye. Drooping upper eyelids tend to become more pronounced with age. But it is normally below the eyes where sagging skin is most obvious.

Signs of sagging skin around the eyes

Drooping skin is a telltale sign of aging. The under eye skin may appear loose and stretched out. You may also notice crepiness and fine lines. The skin may also feel thinner and less elastic to the touch. You are not imagining it. There is less of the elastin protein in your skin as you age, which weakens the skin structure.

Droopy upper eyelids are also common with age. The problem can get so severe that the upper eyelid may be concealed entirely. That is because the upper eye skin, which is normally plump and firm in youth, loses it firmness and elasticity which causes the skin to hang down. This gives the eyes a hooded appearance. If you already had hooded eyelids to begin with, you can imagine how that can worsen with age.

Causes of sagging skin under eyes

Gravity and aging work together to create sagging skin. With age, there is less collagen and elastin to give the skin around your eyes the strength to fight gravity. Skin that appears taut and firm when you are young won’t stay that way forever, at least without the help of cosmetic eye rejuvenation.

Home remedies and cosmetic treatments for sagging skin around the eyes

Under eye creams are the most popular way to treat aging skin around the eyes. They help the skin around your eyes appear more plump and moisturized, which helps diminish sagging and fine lines to a degree. It is important to choose a high-quality eye cream. Injectables may also help. We’ll talk more about both treatments below.

Crow’s feet

Fine lines around the eyes are perhaps the most common sign of eye aging. It happens to nearly everyone at some point.

What do crow’s feet look like? 

Crow’s feet are most obvious when you smile. For many people, these pesky lines are a reason to frown. You may notice crinkly skin around your eyes that resemble the feet of the bird they are named after. Many people first notice smile lines around the eyes when they have their photo taken and they are smiling. If you have them, don’t worry. It is not too late to do something about it. In fact, they are easy to treat with eye rejuvenation treatments.

What causes crow’s feet?

There are small muscles around the eyes that are constantly moving. Nearly every facial expression you make causes those muscles to move. You may squint your eyes to read or to fight the sun’s glare. When you smile, your eyes move too. A curious expression also gives the eye muscles a workout.

Yes, those eye muscles are always moving. If you had never thought about it before, it may make you raise an eyebrow. And you guessed it: Raising an eyebrow puts the eye muscles to work also.

Herein lie the problem. As facial muscles move, the skin moves along with it. In youth, skin has more elastin and collagen, so it bounces back the instant the facial muscles relax. As skin ages, it loses elastin and collagen. That means the skin doesn’t bounce back as fast.

A lifetime of making facial expressions takes a toll on the skin around your eyes. Dynamic wrinkles are the kind that form first. You make a facial expression, and instantly notice a temporary fine line or crease when your face relaxes.

Shortly after, the skin fully relaxes and the lines disappear. Dynamic wrinkles eventually turn into static wrinkles, the kind that are etched in the skin long after the skin relaxes. If you wake up in the morning and notice fine lines and wrinkles straight away, those are static wrinkles.

Home remedies and crow’s feet treatment

Regardless of whether you have dynamic or static wrinkles, there are in-office eye rejuvenation treatments that can help. While you can’t stop making facial expressions altogether (unless you want to look like a zombie), there are other ways for how to get rid of crow’s feet. A plastic surgeon or aesthetician can help. We will discuss treatments for crow’s feet in more detail below.

Hollows under the eyes (aka pronounced tear troughs)

Hollows under the eyes can make you look older than you are. This can be easily corrected with cosmetic eye rejuvenation.

What does it look like?

There was once plump, firm skin just below the inner eyelid. But now, you may notice that area looks like it’s been drained. The under eye area looks hollow, losing volume that makes you look older. It gives you a tired look, no matter how much sleep you got the night before.

Causes of hollows under the eyes

Gravity is not kind to an aging face. Under eye hollowing is mainly caused by cheek sagging. As the cheek muscles begin to droop downward with age, tear troughs form. This usually begins around age 30. It tends to worsen as the years go by. The condition is harmless, but treatable. An opthamologist, dermal nurse, or plastic surgeon can administer fillers to restore volume to the hollow area.

Best eye rejuvenation treatments for youthful eyes

Rejuvenating Treatments for Youthful Eyes

There are eye creams, serums, eye masks, facial rollers, and a host of other gadgets out there to refresh the eye area. But patients often find they need more help than home remedies can offer.

Many patients seek long-term solutions so they don’t have to constantly fight an uphill battle against aging eyes every day. It can be frustrating to try to hide or correct the problem each morning.

In-office eye rejuvenation allows you to treat the area professionally for long-lasting results. That is important for patients with busy lives.

1. Muscle relaxants

Injectables are a fantastic way to treat wrinkles and fine lines anywhere on the face. The eye area is no exception. With muscle relaxants, you can achieve remarkably younger-looking skin around the eyes. Not only that, it can prevent your eye skin from developing new wrinkles by keeping the muscles and skin relaxed.

There are many muscles in your face that are constantly moving as you make expressions. Smiling, frowning, raising your eyebrows, squinting to read fine print…these all wear on your delicate eye skin over time.

Muscle relaxant injectables work by causing temporary muscle paralysis. Reducing the movement of facial muscles, especially around the crow’s feet area, allows your skin and muscles to relax. For patients with dynamic wrinkles, this is the key to youthful eyes.

Dr. Beldholm will inject muscle relaxants in the crow’s feet area. While facial injectables may sound scary, treatment is quick and virtually painless. Your skin may look a little red or lumpy for up to one hour afterward, but it is normally mild. There is no downtime. It is a fairly quick “in and out” procedure that you could get done on your lunch break.

It can take anywhere from four days to two weeks for the muscle relaxants to start working. During that time, you will notice less movement in the muscles that were treated. Gradually, you will see that existing lines and wrinkles around your eyes begin to fade. Results last anywhere from two to six months, depending on the product and quantity that was injected.

It is important to treat the eye area with the minimal amount of product needed to achieve the desired result. Overcorrection gives a frozen look. Doctor Bernard’s goal is to give his patients natural-looking results.

2. Hyaluronic acid fillers

Fabulous as they are, muscle relaxants shouldn’t be used under the eyes. Instead, injectable fillers can greatly improve most common under eye problems. This includes dark circles, pronounced tear troughs, sagging skin under the eyes, and hollowed skin.

Dr. Beldholm will administer natural hyaluronic acid in the tear trough area after applying anaesthetic. Results are immediate, as the area fills with the solution instantly.

Simple as it sounds, under eye fillers require an experienced injector. There are many blood vessels in the delicate eye area. The skin is also particularly thin and sensitive under the eyes. It is normal to have some swelling and darkness due to blood pooling. This may give the patient a temporary bruised appearance. This is harmless and to be expected. Mild to moderate bruising under the eyes may last ten days to two weeks, so don’t get it done right before a big event.

You must also be careful with under eye fillers because it is easy to overfill the area. You don’t want to correct a hollow under eye with too much filler. That would cause the area to bulge out unattractively. Schedule your appointment with an experienced injector to ensure best results.

3. Derma Stamp, Skin Pen, Laser, and PRP Facials

These in-office cosmetic treatments are administered by a plastic surgeon, dermal nurse, or dermatologist. They are especially useful for dark circles. However, the treatment can also improve the skin around the eyes, stimulating natural rejuvenation.

PRP, for example, uses your own platelet-rich plasma to stimulate tissue repair. Skin damage actually stimulates repair. For that reason, it is a good thing to have some downtime because you know it’s working. It stimulates collagen production in your skin, strengthening and thickening the dermis. This helps the skin around your eyes look firmer and more youthful.

While there is some downtime associated with these treatments (expect to walk out a bit red and puffy, at minimum), the final results are beautiful.

You can treat your whole face, not just the eye area, if you wish for anti-aging results allover. These treatments can be paired with injectables for even better anti-aging effects.

4. Upper eyelid surgery

Blepharoplasty is a facial surgery that corrects droopy upper eyelids. Loose skin above the eyes creates a sleepy appearance. For some patients, the skin hangs so low that it begins to obstruct their vision.

If sagging upper eyelid skin is bothering you, blepharoplasty surgery with Doctor Bernard can help. He will trim away the excess skin, leaving you with upper eyes that appear more firm and youthful. This is a permanent solution to droopy eyelids. Click here to check out real patient before and after blepharoplasty photos.

5. Eye creams

Walk into any drugstore or department store, and you will be faced with a bevy of eye creams. Unfortunately, most of them don’t live up to the hype…or the price tag. But some of them do work. They may not be as effective as cosmetic eye surgery, but eye creams can help make your eye area appear plumper and even slow signs of eye aging by keeping your skin healthy and moisturized.

A good eye cream will have intensive moisturizing ingredients. A great one will have peptides or a form of vitamin A called retinoids. Over-the-counter eye creams may contain retinol, a simple form of vitamin A. But retinoids are the active form of vitamin A. They are usually only available by prescription.

Eye creams may also be used to alleviate puffy eyes. In this case, you will need one with vasoconstricting ingredients. Caffeine, for example, is a vasoconstrictor. It may help tighten and reduce swelling under the eyes.

If you aren’t ready to try in-office eye rejuvenation, eye creams are your next best bet for treating nearly all signs of eye aging. Check back soon, because our next blog post will be all about eye creams!

A vampire facial may sound a little gory to the average person. But trust us when we say that the results can leave your skin looking anything but scary. In fact, once you learn about its age-defying benefits, you may feel motivated to contact Specialist Skin Solutions to schedule your very first appointment. While the procedure does involve the extraction of your own blood, don’t panic! This trendy yet bizarre anti-ageing treatment is minimally invasive, requires little downtime and most importantly, it is safe and only slightly uncomfortable.

What is the vampire facial?

Dr Charles Runels from Alabama (USA) developed the vampire facial, or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) facial around 2010, but it’s not an entirely new procedure. Since the mid-1990’s, basic PRP treatments have been used in plastic surgery to promote tissue healing and reduce inflammation. In recent years, some athletes like like Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant and Alex Rodriguez have turned to platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy to help heal wounded tissues.

During treatment, the patient’s platelet-rich plasma is separated from their red and white blood cells. Next, this concentrated plasma is injected into the patient’s injured area. The plasma–rich in platelets–are made up of enzymes that play a big role in tissue regeneration and attracting stem cells to assist in the repair during the healing process.

The vampire facial obtains platelet-rich plasma in the very same manner as above, however, microneedles are then used to make small punctures in the skin so that the PRP can be absorbed. To create these tiny openings in the skin, some doctors may use a small, skin needling tool called a dermastamp. This device “stamps” the skin in order to create tiny holes which allows the patient’s skin to easily soak up the platelet-rich plasma to achieve a more youthful glow.

What are the benefits?

Collagen Induction Therapy

The vampire facial offers a natural way to improve the appearance of a patient’s skin quickly and without having to go under the knife. It also costs a lot less than a facelift, and all skin tones can take advantage of the procedure. Many patients who have the procedure performed will experience the following benefits:

  • Fewer fine lines
  • An increase in collagen production
  • Fewer sun spots
  • Tighter skin
  • Reduced acne scarring
  • Decreased pore size
  • A reduction in hyperpigmentation
  • Improved skin texture

According to Dr Runels, the effects of the procedure improve for two to three months and last anywhere from one to two years.

Who is a candidate?

Of course, you don’t have to be a celebrity to have the procedure done. Patients who wish to look as young as they feel are likely good candidates for a vampire facial. The procedure is perfect for most women and men who suffer from sun damage, fine lines and an uneven skin tone. For anyone over the age of 40, several treatments spaced four to six weeks apart are usually recommended to achieve optimal results. Younger patients may only need one.

Patients living with certain health-related issues such as HIV, cancer or bleeding and clotting disorders should avoid this treatment. For patients with advanced skin ageing, they should have realistic expectations going in. While a vampire facial can certainly turn back the hands of time, it won’t shave off decades if deep wrinkles and saggy skin are severe. A facelift may be the better option.

How is the treatment done?

Treatment time for a vampire facial will vary depending on the number of areas the patient wishes to target. For most patients, though, the procedure typically lasts anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour. The procedure requires only a few steps:

  1. Similar to getting a blood test done, a doctor will first draw blood from the patient’s arm. Usually, only one vial of blood is needed; however, at times, two vials may be drawn.
  2. Next, using a centrifuge, the physician will isolate the patient’s platelets from that blood. This part takes about ten minutes.
  3. Once the blood separation is complete, a physician will generally place a numbing cream on the patient’s face to alleviate any pain from the microneedling process.
  4. Using a microneedling tool called a dermastamp, a doctor creates thousands of tiny holes in the patient’s skin. This will stimulate the skin’s tissue and assist in the rejuvenation process.
  5. Once this step is complete, a patient’s entire face is covered in the platelet-rich plasma. These PRPs turn on stem cells already in the skin, tricking them into “thinking” there’s been an injury. As a result, new, younger tissues are generated, in turn, creating younger looking skin for the patient.

What does it feel like?

Prior to any sort of cosmetic procedure that our talented, trained staff performs, most patients pose the obvious question, “Will it hurt?” The truth is it depends. The good news is that for most people the answer is “No.” A numbing cream applied before treatment will normally minimise any discomfort. Some patients may feel a little pressure and slight sting during the microneedling process. After the procedure, patients may experience some degree of redness, bruising, dryness and flakiness. While the healing period typically lasts about a week, most people are able to carry on their normal daily activities without any problems. Women who wear makeup can usually continue doing so following treatment.

Does it really work?

The short answer to this question is a resounding “YES!” Research has shown that blood-based facials can, in fact, deliver real results. According to one study published in Dermatologic Surgery, 12 healthy women ranging from 45 to 65-years-old underwent three sessions of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections into facial skin at 1-month intervals. After the completion of the experiment, researchers observed that the women’s skin over time had significant improvements in elasticity and smoothness. Studies published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal and the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology have also revealed similar findings.

Of course, if studies aren’t convincing enough, perhaps patients who’ve actually had the procedure are. RealSelf, the leading and most trusted source for people considering an elective cosmetic treatment, reported that nearly 90 percent of its users who’ve undergone vampire facial treatments say it is worth it and recommend it to others.

Celebrities who indulge in vampire facials

Vampire facials have been around for nearly a decade, however, it wasn’t until Kim Kardashian West uploaded a photo to Instagram in 2013 that the procedure gained “international fame.” In the image, the reality star sported a bare face covered in her own blood. As you can imagine, this cause quite the frenzy over the internet. Other stars have also indulged in the procedure in order to maintain their youthful features. This includes Jennifer Aniston, Harry Styles and Angelina Jolie.

Can I afford it?

A vampire facial is the cheaper alternative to plastic surgery procedures that help to turn back the hands of time. The cost for a vampire facial ranges from $900 to $1,500 in Australia. However, make sure you have the procedure performed by a seasoned medical professional. That’s because not all vampire facials are created equal. And as the popular saying goes, “You get what you pay for.” Some clinics offer different treatment grades which can have little to no effect at all. Make sure do you homework prior to scheduling an appointment. Most importantly, ask questions!

Ready for a new you?

If you suffer from fine lines, facial scarring, rough skin or uneven colour, know that you do have options. If you desire flawless skin, a vampire facial may be the perfect solution for you. At Specialist Skin Solutions we enjoy helping patients improve their self-confidence through a variety of cosmetic treatment options.

If you suffer from fine lines, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation and acne scarring, and you aren’t exactly a big fan of needles or going under the knife—a Deep Sea Peel may be the solution that you’ve been looking for. Unlike traditional chemical peels that dissolve skin cells and exfoliate the skin, Deep Sea Peels use coral and seaweed extract to improve blood flow, oxygen and nutrient supply to the skin and assist in renewal. After treatment, many clients report softer skin, fewer imperfections as well as a reduction in wrinkles and scarring.

What is Deep Sea Peel

The Deep Sea Peel is classified as a superficial peel. This non-acid, chemical free peel lifts the epidermis to promote shedding and removal of old, damaged skin cells. In doing so, the mineral-rich treatment lifts away stubborn pigmentation, softens the look of acne scarring and minimises the appearance of other annoying skin flaws.

The different types

Not all deep sea peels are created equal. There are actually two types of Deep Sea Peels—a mini and full. The full peel deeply penetrates several layers of the skin for up to 10 minutes per body area. Because a full deep sea peel is more intense, clients can expect a longer downtime of about five to seven days. This means that over the course of the healing process, you’re like to experience scabbing, redness, sloughing of the skin and sensitivity to the sun. If you normally wear makeup, you should expect to go without it for a couple of days. This peel is ideal for patients with stubborn skin problems.

As you’ve probably guessed it, the mini Deep Sea Peel does not penetrate the skin as deeply as the full Deep Sea Peel and is applied to the skin for up to five minutes per body area. Because the mini Deep Sea Peel isn’t as intense as its counterpart, the downtime is shorter. For most clients, they can go back to normal activities in about three to five days. This peel is ideal for mild to modern skin problems. It’s a great introduction for patients looking to eventually transition to the full Deep Sea Peel.

Deep Sea Peel by Dr Beldholm

The benefits

If you do a simple Google search for “skin peels,” you’ll soon discover that there are a variety of peels out there on the market. The most common are chemical peels. While they are certainly effective for fighting wrinkles and other skin issues, not everyone can take advantage of them. For example, chemical peels have not been proven safe for expectant mothers. With a physician’s approval, however, clients who are pregnant can be treated with a deep sea peel in their second and third trimester. Other advantages that Deep Sea Peels have over chemical peels include:

  • Fewer treatments: Deep Sea Peels generally require only one to three treatments for optimal results. With other peels, sometimes as many as six treatments are necessary to achieve the desired outcome.
  • Easier recovery: Deep Sea Peels are designed to create the best results possible without the irritation and recovery time of a traditional chemical peel.
  • Natural ingredients used: Deep Sea Peels use active, non-artificial ingredients to address stubborn skin problems. In other words, no chemicals are ever used.
  • Miscellaneous: The Deep Sea Peel can also be used on the body to treat stretch marks and cellulite.
  • Am I a candidate?

Ideal candidates for a Deep Sea Peels are those who are generally healthy and suffer from acne scarring, hyperkeratosis, wrinkles and uneven texture and tone. Patients of all skin colours can take advantage of the Deep Sea Peel.

Who should avoid the peel?

Deep Sea Peels are not recommended for sensitive skin, individuals with keloid scarring and those who are currently using prescription vitamin A creams. For individuals who are living with an autoimmune disease, battling cancer, undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy, they must first obtain a doctor’s consent before undergoing a Deep Sea Peel. While expectant mothers can have the peel in their second and third trimester, the Deep Sea Peel is not recommended for women who are breastfeeding, trying to become pregnant or are newly pregnant.

The treatment process

Due to the intensity of a Deep Sea Peel, a 10-30 day pre-treatment prep involving the use of vitamin A and AHA’S is required. Because no two people are alike, the exact length of the pre-treatment prep will vary from individual to individual. In some instances, some clients may need to include additional tyrosinase inhibitors (skin lightening agents) to build the skin’s tolerance and regulate pigment. This will reduce the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). If the idea of preparing for the deep sea peel sounding overwhelming, don’t worry! The pre-treatment prep will be discussed during the client’s initial one-on-one skin consultation as well as any other questions he or she might have.

Following the treatment prep, the Deep Sea Peel is then applied to the skin by an experienced therapist. The mechanical action of friction and marine salicylates causes micro trauma to the skin which promotes the natural rejuvenation process. As dead skin is sloughed off, the skin naturally replenishes moisture levels, renews collagen synthesis and improves the overall epidermal structure of the skin.

Deep Sea Peel by Dr Beldholm

What to expect

After the Deep Sea Peel is applied to the client’s skin, they will experience some mild discomfort. As the peel is massaged into the skin, the gritty nature of the peel will create a tingling sensation and heat. This “hot feeling” may last 12-24 hours after the peel has been performed. When pressure is applied to the skin, the feeling will be similar to a sunburn. Overtime, the client’s skin will naturally exfoliate itself and peel. This will last up to 7 days after the treatment. It is very important for client’s to avoid any exposure to the sun for up to 48 hours post and prior to treatment.

Are you ready for a change?

If you suffer from fine lines, acne scarring, rough skin or uneven pigmentation, know that you do have options. If you desire flawless skin, a Deep Sea Peel may be the perfect solution for you. At Specialist Skin Solutions we enjoy helping patients improve their self-confidence through a variety of cosmetic treatment options. Contact us today at 1300 370 307 to learn how we can help you.
