3. Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are popular treatments for follow up. As a main treatment they lead to slow results. No matter of your skin type you would have to wait months to see results. This fact makes them even more expensive than choosing CO2 Laser or Dermapen.
As a follow up after CO2 or Dermapen you can do: Laser Carbon Peel, Silk Peel, Enzyme Oxygenated Facial.
These peels will maintain your results from CO2 or Dermapen.
Accompanying Treatment – PRP
No matter if your skin is suitable for CO2 Fractional Resurfacing or Dermapen, PRP is great add-on to your therapy. It speeds up collagen production and enhaces the effect of the main treatment. It’s also completely natural. Platelets are injected into your skin to heal your cells and rejuvenate them.
Note: PRP itself have minimum affect over open pores. It’s main purpose is to reverse anti-aging process or help with scars.
