Epidermal Leveling
Epidermal Leveling exfoliates the top layer of the skin, polishing the surface and correcting flaws caused by acne scars, darkened pigmentation, or aging. As the skin’s upper surface is removed during this process, the fine hairs on the face are also removed. With this treatment, the skin’s surface looks smoother, polished, and refined. This is an alternative to treatments such as laser resurfacing and harsh chemical peels.
