In this article, Jackie will unveil secrets to rejuvenating and revitalizing your skin, ensuring it remains radiant and healthy long after summer’s end.

Picosure technology:
The Pico laser works by sending ultra-short pulses of energy without heat. It targets pigmentation and it causes the shattering of pigment abnormalities of the skin. The mechanism of action is like a laser hammer that shakes the structure of the skin, and thus breaks up pigment and remodels the epidermal layer of the skin, reducing not only hyperpigmentation, but also resurfacing the skin with collagen, lipids and hyaluronic acid packed new cells, among other natural moisturizing agents.
Discoloration can also be a challenge to remove with conventional treatments. Pico laser may be just the solution because it’s not heat induced. It’s the safest laser technology for all skin complexions.

Skinpen microneedling:
SkinPen microneedling medical grade device is what we call controlled mechanical injury to the skin, that promotes communication between the skin and the fibroblast cells in the dermis that are responsible for the production of collagen and elastin. Skinpen microneedling creates micro-injuries to initiate the body’s wound healing process. The micro-injuries begin to heal and as it heals, shrinkage of the skin occurs, The body begins to break down damaged tissue and produce healthy new cells. These cells repair and remodel the injured tissue.
