event to give you a beautiful and youthful glow. This treatment smoothes
skin, reduces fine lines and redness, and shrinks pores. An excellent
alternative or complement to more invasive treatments. A small

the serum and applied superficially which results in improvement in the
finer lines, reduced pore size, redness, acne and rosacea with improvement
lasting months!

occurring in the body and retains moisture and is also what we use in
dermal fillers. This results in a plump, supple, saturated and glowing face!

lightening brown spots. It is an antioxidant which fights off free
radicals, evens the tone and texture of skin, promotes collagen and elastin
(you cannot form or store collagen without it!) and decreases general
dullness.
*Vitamin B12*-regulates production of pigmentations in the skin, promotes
healthy skin cells and can repair damaged skin resulting in a reduced
dullness and improved glow
*Vitamin E*-another powerful antioxidant to protect from environmental
stressors, minimize signs of aging, improve hydration, helps to fade darker
pigments, softens skin, improves texture in addition to being very soothing
and calming to the skin
*Niacinamide*-one of the B vitamins, decreases redness, can help balance
oil and sebum production to decrease breakouts, powerful antioxidant to
help protect the skin from damage can also aid in hydration in combination
