As we all settle into the excitement of a new year and leave behind the memories of our sun and fun filled (hopefully for most of us) holiday break, some of us may start to notice a few darker marks on our faces.

Perhaps our existing marks have just been enhanced by the sun or they're new spots.

Fear not! We are able to help lighten these unwanted blemishes and even out your complexion.

Our Optiphi and Dermaceutic ranges offer solutions both in salon, and at home. Believe me, we've done the testing and they DO work. In salon, we offer a combination of limelight laser treatments and peels.

Limelight laser treatments pull the pigmentation to the surface of the skin and eventually sloughs off. Peels induce an exfoliation of the superficial layers of skin, promote regeneration of new fresh skin cells and most importantly, assists in the lightening of those sun spots or pigmentation.

At home, we have 2 products, Optiphi's Complexion Control and Dermacetutic's Light Ceutic, that will assist in reinforcing the in salon treatments and help prevent the over production of melanin or pigment in the skin when exposed to various influences, like the sun.

For more sinister-looking spots, we would highly recommend a visit to your dermatologist for an annual check up of all moles and sun spots. Dr Doucas, a Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon, is also available to surgically remove any unwanted lesions.
