What are skin blemishes?
Skin blemishes are any marks or small scars on your skin. They could be left over from your adolescence, an embarrassing reminder of teenage acne or they could just appear out of the blue.
Anyone can develop adult skin blemishes and some people are predisposed to certain types of acne. They can be caused by cosmetics and toiletries (foundations, night creams, and moisturisers) that have clogged your pores or from stress and hormonal changes. For example, the hormone androgen stimulates the production of sebum, a natural oil that makes the skin soft and waterproof. Too much sebum will block your follicles and create skin blemishes.
However they arrived, you can get rid of your skin blemishes for once and for all at your local salon providing Totalcare treatments.
The experts recommend:
Ksenon IPL (Intense Pulse Light Therapy) uses light to penetrate the skin surface to the underlying tissues and this will trigger normal cell regeneration. In days, your skin will improve and be clear of blemishes, with smoother texture and fewer fine lines. It will also repair sun damaged skin and promotes production of collagen and elastin for healthier looking skin.

Where normal microdermbrasion treatments can’t be used where there is infection or spots, Vitapeel Ion microdermbrasion can. We use a deep cleansing Galvanic current combined with Gala Limpiderm deep cleansing gel to draw the special deep cleaning gel deep into your pores. The pores are cleaned of debris and excess oil and the impurities are then drawn to the surface and out of the skin.
