ALIVIA PHOTOFACIAL Description: Dérmica’s Alivia Treatment will diminish redness and dissolve broken capillaries on areas of the face and neckline.

If left untreated these conditions can worsen, or mutate the skin’s texture. We treat these conditions by emitting a light beam into the skin which is absorbed by different skin lesions. Through selective photothermolysis, the light pulse selectively destroys a specified target without damaging the surrounding tissue, causing the blood to coagulate and the vessel to break up into particles that are naturally filtered away through the body’s lymphatic system.
