By Medi Spa at 2 April, 2010, 9:44 am
Is it too much? They said they will do waxing first and then the IPL photofacial which includes a regular facial.
Will this stop my skin from breaking out after the waxing like it usually does.
Advice please! Thank you

By Medi Spa at 2 April, 2010, 9:44 am
What is the best way for men with light skin to treat moderate, persistent acne on the face? Acutane seems like overkill and is expensive. Pills like oracea or minocin have helped, but they have not given me clear skin, only a reduction in redness and acne. Topicals like finacea or metrogel are useless and [...]

By Medi Spa at 2 April, 2010, 9:44 am
I want to select one treatment (the longer lasting, the better) to address all of these concerns:
-tighten pores
-remove or lighten small red spots from broken capellaries/acne scars
-fine lines around eyes, on forehead, and sides of mouth
-general firmness and tightness
I was thinking of getting an IPL photofacial, but I am wondering what might be better?
Resolved Question: Help! I’m taking Accutane and it’s making my face too red!?
By Medi Spa at 2 April, 2010, 9:44 am
I have mild but stubborn acne and my dermatologist reccomended Accutane. When I tried it, it made the skin on my face very red. This was not at all due to the sun which I avoid. This is frustrating because I just got rid of the redness I had in the past with a photofacial. [...]
