My Favorite Skin Treatments at Image Perfect Laser
03.28.17
Who doesn’t want their skin to look its best? After doing a ton of research on the most beneficial skin rejuvenation treatments I could find in OC, it came to one: IPL photorejuvenation at Image Perfect Laser in Irvine. I wanted a treatment to improve my skin’s appearance, you know common skin woes, including fine lines, melasma and sun spots. This minimally invasive skin procedure can also treat signs of aging such as broken capillaries, texture problems and rosacea. And, there's no downtime.
I met Teresa Cadwallader, R.N., owner of Image Perfect Laser and booked an IPL Laser Treatment for my face in November. She also told me about Dermapen Micro-Needling, that uses a micro-needle roller that causes thousands of micro-injuries when rolled over the skin. It was the first time I had ever heard of this treatment, and Teresa said it was a great compliment to IPL.
I did some research and found that it’s been scientifically proven that skin needling really does work for inducting normal collagen and elastin in the skin, increasing transdermal absorption of products. The production of collagen continues for up to 12 months after the procedure. Depressed acne scars, wrinkles, skin texture and tightness are all improved as a result.
I decided to try the Dermapen Micro-Needling a few weeks after the IPL, and now I’ve done a series of two each. Ever since I had the procedures, I’ve been getting so many compliments on my skin and I can see a difference, too! I wear less makeup and some days none at all. The treatments were not painful at all, no downtime, and I’m so happy with the results.
Teresa is now offering a special on both treatments if you call and ask for the “Greer Special.” Consultations are complimentary.
Image Perfect Laser is at 4605 Barranca Pkwy #205, Irvine. 949.485.3866.
