Individual treatments, peels, vs BBL vs IPL vs Lasers.

The link below explains a lot with videos. The best treatment is an individualised one based upon examination and YOUR expectations, all the treatments you have mentioned have a role, but how your skin looks like and your skin colour will determine what is the best treat for you. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane. Australia.

An in person consultation is needed to see what treatment would best suit your skin. Profractional laser and laser peels would help change the texture of your skin. BBL can take care of superficial brown and red spots in the skin. However having BBL 1-2 times a year is one of the best anti-aging treatments.

There are a number of treatments that are available for wrinkle prevention and treatment, ranging from Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasion, Topical Treatments, Stem cell and Platelet Rich Plasma treatments and Laser treatments. The prices can range anywhere from hundreds of dollars to several thousands depending on the treatment options and areas treated. You would need a consultation from a qualified dermatologist, cosmetic surgeon or medical aesthetician in your area to give a more precise answer for your specific situation.
