This results in a decrease in sunspots, fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring and a fresher, more youthful skin tone and texture. This promotes rapid healing with less downtime.

to tiny dots in the skin, much of the skin
is left unaffected and there is a quick healing process; most people notice
