Epi Center MedSpa San Francisco | Sun Damage and Brown Spots

Epi Center MedSpa understands how sun damage from ultraviolet (UV) rays speeds up the process of aging and raises your risk of skin cancer. Sun damage also can result in photo-aging of the skin, brown spots, broken capillaries, and rosacea. Therefore, we offer various treatments to help reduce the adverse effects of sun-damaged skin, including the IPL PhotoFacial, MicroNeedling, chemical peels, and body treatments.

IPL PhotoFacial℠

What is IPL PhotoFacial℠?

The IPL Photofacial℠ is a photo rejuvenation treatment using light pulses to penetrate the top layers of skin to destroy abnormal vessels and pigmentation, queuing the body to begin the natural healing process. After each treatment, the skin will feel smoother and appear more evenly toned. It is recommended that treatment is repeated 2 to 4 times for optimal results.

This treatment is best indicated for people with lighter skin tones. Medium skin tones would need to pretreat for two weeks before the procedure. It is not recommended for dark skin tones.

Broken capillaries

Age spots or brown spots

MicroNeedling

What is MicroNeedling?

MicroNeedling causes targeted trauma to the problem areas of your skin using a micro-needling pen that penetrates the skin with tiny needles. This process activates a natural healing response of increased collagen production. As an essential protein for youthful-looking skin, collagen creates a revitalized, firm, smooth, and elastic appearance by filling in and smoothing out fine lines and scars.
