During the procedure, we at Skinology apply serums to the treated area, specific to your skin concerns, (hyaluronic acid, growth factors and skin boosters for antiaging); (vitamin C serums and skin enhancers for facial rejuvenation and glow); (vitamin E and rosehip oils for stretch marks); (collagen and elastin containing serums for acne scars).
