For flawless skin | Dr Nestor
Medical grade facials have created a bit of a buzz lately claiming to leave skin smoother, softer and firmer. The Carbon Laser Facial at Dr Nestor's Medical Cosmetic Centre uses a laser to penetrate deep down to cleanse, exfoliate, refine pores and stimulate collagen production. The result is an evened out skin tone, reduction in acne causing bacteria and a lightening of pigmentation.
I-ON READER OFFER
i-on readers can get a series of three Carbon Laser Facials for £240 instead of £360, just quote ‘i-on’.
To find out more about the treatments, pop into Dr Nestor’s Medical Cosmetic Centre on 53 Dundas Street, Edinburgh, or call 0131 467 1450. More details can be found at drnestor.co.uk.
