Uneven Skin Tone
From puberty, many of us begin to experience undesirable changes to the tone of our complexion. Our once even, radiant-looking skin may become impacted by redness, pimples, age spots, discolouration, and sun damage. Over-the-counter treatments are often not enough to return your skin to its once pristine state. As we continue to age, this problem quickly begins to worsen.
Uneven skin tone often leaves people feeling less confident and lowers overall self-esteem. Treating uneven skin tone allows you to feel confident in your own skin. It also allows you to wear less makeup and spend less money on products designed to hide any insecurities you may have about your skin.
At Lucere, we understand the importance of feeling confident in your own skin. As the leading cosmetic, dermatology, and laser clinic in Edmonton, we are pleased to offer safe and effective treatments to improve uneven skin tones for all skin types.
