Excel V Laser - Vascular Redness

A skin treatment is customised based on your specific skin conditions, as determined by your therapist.

Our professional skin analysis using OBSERV 520 offers a detailed examination of your skin, allowing us to assess its texture, pigmentation, vascularity, hydration, and oil production.

Based on your skin analysis, your therapist will address your concerns and needs, recommending the most suitable treatment. This will encompass your goals, skincare routine, lifestyle, and dietary factors. If necessary, we will refer you to a naturopath or dermatologist.

We use only our cosmeceutical-grade products throughout this process.
